Article with cockpit video taken by a reporter (and another at the bottom
of the page from someone from the side of the runway) show a Stearman
flip
on landing:

It made the evening news. *What a sad sight!

Yep.

So, what is the verdict? *I say too fast and high, tried to force it on with
a wheel landing, still had the tail high and touched the brakes. *Don't know
about that last part, but he was definitely not done flying when he touched
down.

Looks like he might have hit the brakes too early, or had them on when
he landed. *Hard to tell for sure.

Yep, the brakes were on, you can tell by the smoke. No BUMF check?

Cheers
