The video shows the tracks left in the mud by the mains and front
tire...

As quoted by the news-copter, it appears to have been a text book
soft-field approach. You can see when he pans out that the mains are
the only tracks in the mud for several hundred feet, then the front
touches down, causing the plane to over-turn

Nobody was seriously hurt, thank God!

Best Regards,
Todd


A couple weeks ago that field would not have been soft ;-)

Forced to make a landing because of an electrical problem (according to the news chopper guy?)
