The Principle of >Primacy makes us want to If it was the same one as in Michigan last weekend, the pilot is a very experieced RV formation pilot with over 600 hours in his taildragger RV. The winds were 90 degrees, gusting to 25mph. The airplane touched down, drifted off the side of the runway then flipped. The pilot will be in a neck brace for 12 weeks with the passenger having cuts and bruises. Be careful with the spring winds.
