A single-engine airplane flipped onto its top in southwest Nebraska’s Hayes county as the pilot was attempting a landing on a private runway.
The mishap occurred Tuesday about 5:15 p.m. southeast of the small community of Hamlet.
Sheriff Thomas Dow explains how it happened…
“He was just landing the plane and slid off the side of the runway…with the wet grass, there’s mud under it and the front wheel broke off…it caught and flipped the plane over.”
Sheriff Dow says the pilot walked away from the craft, but did seek medical attention as a precaution and then was released. Sheriff Dow says the plane was likely totaled.
Sheriff Dow says he will provide a report to the Federal Aviation Administration including pictures of the damaged aircraft.
The male pilot was not identified.
The crash occurred on the pilot’s property.
