Have you seen the news clip today on Foxnews.com where the plane flips...........??????? I think he would have been ok until it looks like he hammers the brakes hard????

That's kinda what I thought. Keep that stick back and go easy on the brakes! Forgot his basics.

It wasnt losing speed very fast. Musta been landing downwind with a good breeze, although I cant see any indication of it in the vidio.

I noticed the same thing about not slowing down. I wonder if there might have been a stuck throttle of something like that. I thought I could hear the breaks / wheels skidding before it flipped over.
