It’s upside down, with its landing gear pointed toward the sky. I’m just curious what possibility needs to be hedged with the “appeared to have flipped over” language. Like, maybe it took off that way—is that the thinking?

Just a possibility,
no judgement here.
the Black Pearl crew
recusing Capt Jack
cause that ship didn't have wings either
or is it an experimental wingless plane
the plane a cartwheeled
from what we were told
and simply failed to stick the landing
In november he played, make America Red with the ballots…
That would be pilot error.
I have obtained a copy of the original photo:
But maybe the plane wasn't prepared and inspected properly before leaving the USA?
No flaps on landing means higher stall speed, and the plane probably hit hard and tumbled. 😬😱
Interesting that the stall speed with 0° flaps vs the normal 45° flaps on final approach is about 40 knots higher or about 135% of normal landing speed. 🫤
But who can say for sure.
For the stupids can be my only guess.
Everyone:
Pilot: pffft I’m so good I can fucking land this thing inverted. Hold my beer.
