About 3:00 this afternoon. Apparently he had some sort of problem with
the plane after taking off, so he turned around, but he overshot the
field and hit a fence and flipped over. The pilot was taken to
Harborview Medical Center with what were described as non-life
threatening injuries.

Photos of the scene show what appears to be a nicely built Thorp. Some
witnesses reported that there was a fire but the video does not show
anything like fire damage. People who were at Paine Field said the
pilot did not touch down until almost the very end of the runway.

No word on whether he has been released from the hospital. Tail number
was N3715 -- if any of you know him and he is still at Harborview he
might appreciate a visit from some of his buddies.
