David Isaac Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 It could have been a gust and it was a tail wheel aircraft. Gotta be awake with tail wheel aircraft or they will bite you when you least expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The heading to the article probably needs to be headed better 'tis all... "Pilot loses control" (covers anything! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
