Plane Flip: Reagan National Airport
Reported by BBC, with video
BBC News - Oh flip! WWII plane lands with a bump
A World War II-era plane flipped over while landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington DC.
The aircraft was part of a group of vintage biplanes flying to promote the opening of 3-D film "Legends of Flight."
The pilot told investigators that he tapped the brakes and the plane flipped over its nose and landed upside down.
The pilot and a Washington Post reporter were on-board but neither were injured in the accident.
Tim Allman reports.
