A plane flipped upside down on the runway during a landing at a show at the Ronald Regan National Airport. They were doing an extremly difficult landing and they just flipped the plane. It landed first on the tail end as well as bouncing on the wing and tips a few times. Luckily, the two pasengers were not hurt during the incident, they later relaxed over a cup of coffee and laughed off the incident. There was damage to the wing, prop, and tail of the captains plane. The man flying the plane has had alot of experience flying planes and showing them off in shows.
Well this is just a stupid thing that happened. A freak accident i would say, but both of those people in the plane are extremly lucky to even be alive. They should be happy. Thankfully only their plane was semi-destroyed. Airplane shows are very entertaining i think, even just watching them my stomache does flips and such. They are very brave people who go and do such things, i mean what would happen if the harness broke open, or you crashed into another plane? You would be dead. Thats what would happen, and then multiple people would be sad. I don't think that i would like to go into a plane thats doing flips and such over 100 mph in the air. Not for me.
