The owner of an ultralight suffered a bruise to his pride but no other injury when his aircraft hit a bump and flipped during takeoff Monday from a private airstrip east of Wellington.
Larimer County sheriff’s deputies and area firefighters raced to the scene near Indian Creek Reservoir shortly before noon, only to find the aircraft’s owner uninjured and attempting to load his banged-up ultralight onto a flat-bed trailer. A concerned neighbor who saw the upturned ultralight called the incident in.
The single-seat aircraft crashed on a dirt strip off of Pelican Cove Lane, on the northeast side of the reservoir, roughly 2 miles east of the Interstate 25 Owl Canyon Road exit.
Wellington Fire and Platte River Fire also responded to this call.
