Factual narrative

THE PILOT MADE A ROLLING TAKEOFF AND APPARENTLY LOCKED THE TAILWHEEL WHILE TURNING. DURING LATER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND GROUND-LOOPED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO MUD WHERE IT FLIPPED OVER. THE TAILWHEEL WAS LOCKED OUT OF DETENT AND WAS UNABLE TO TRACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
