Sad day at YFC.. The 170 flipped OVER the 172... landed upside down on it, (note the 172's antennas are gone) then flipped back to upright ramming it's tail into the ground. Note the tiedown used.. no comment...

The "Divot" is where the right wing of the 170 dug into the (rain saturated) ground for the flight over the 172.

Also, the "Claw" was useless as well, failed on a 182, but the aircraft stayed... I could pull it out by (one) hand.
