Small plane flips at Fayetteville airport

WEAPON.

>>> THE FNA IS TRYING TO FIGURE

OUT WHAT CAUSED A PLANE TO FLIP

OVER AT A REGIONAL AIRPORT.

OUR REPORTER HEARD FROM A

WITNESS, AND ALSO SPOKE WITH

THE MAN WHO RECENTLY OWNS THAT

PLANE.

>> Reporter: A LITTLE YELLOW

PLANE SLOW DOWN A TRIP TO

YELLOWSTONE.

>> I WANTED TO GO TO MONTANA,

AT SOME POINT.

>> Reporter: JOE DID NOT THINK

HE WOULD GET DELAYED, ON A

SUNNY SATURDAY, BUT THERE IS

THAT UPSIDE DOWN YELLOW PLANE,

A SINGLE ENGINE MANUFACTURED BY

AMERICAN LEGEND.

IT WAS OUT THERE DOING TOUCH

AND GO ON THE RUNWAY.

>> THEY WERE DOING A REALLY

GOOD JOB, UNTIL THE LAST ONE.

THEN, IT JUST NOT TO THE TAIL

OF THE PLANE ON THE GROUND, AND

IT FLIPS.

>> THE TWO PEOPLE IN THE PLANE

EMERGED, WITHOUT A SCRATCH.

>> THAT'S THE THING THAT REALLY

MATTERS.

>> Reporter: THE RUNWAY WAS

SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT THREE

HOURS, AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY

THAT TWO DELTA PLANES HAD TO

WAIT AN ATLANTA UNTIL EMERGENCY

CLUES -- CREWS CLEARED THE

RUNWAY.

ONE PLANE HAD TO CIRCLE THE

RUNWAY BEFORE LANDING.

I REACHED THE OWNER BY PHONE,

AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE SOLD THE

PLANE FRIDAY.

HE SAID THE NEW PILOT WAS

REQUIRED BY THE INSURANCE

COMPANY TO SPEND ONE HOUR

FLYING, WITH A CERTIFIED FLIGHT

INSTRUCTOR, AND THAT IS WHAT HE

WAS DOING HERE, IN RUNWAY FOUR.

PILOT IN FRONT, INSTRUCTOR IN

BACK, WHEN SOMETHING WENT

WRONG.

IT IS A SLOW PLANE, AND THE NEW

PILOT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN USED

TO ITS LOW SPEED.

NOW, VACATIONS ARE CLEAR FOR

TAKEOFF.

A LITTLE YELLOW PLANE REMAINS

GROUNDED.
