Today, it happened to me. While rolling out at 28TE after a perfect landing, the nosewheel stuck and flipped N131RV onto her back.
I am unhurt. The plane is resting "comfortably", in the middle of the runway.
Insurance has been called, no one available until probably Wednesday.
FAA has been called, it's O.K. to move it.
If there is anyone around south San Antonio (Elmendorf) with the ability and equipment to help, please call me ASAP at 210 316-2300. The aircraft can be repaired from it's current state. If more damage is done, it might not be.
I know it's too late to move it tonight, but my hangar is only 200 yards away and with help (and I can pay) it could be back in the hangar in a couple of hours.
So, I am calling on anyone to please help.
Thanks
