Teen pilot uninjured in emergency landing near Hicks Airfield

A 19-year-old student pilot was uninjured when his plane flipped during an emergency landing Thursday afternoon in a field north of Hicks Airfield in Fort Worth.
The pilot, who was not identified, declined medical attention at the scene of the 2:30 p.m. accident, said Lt. Kent Worley of the Fort Worth Fire Department.
The Cessna 152 apparently had engine trouble during its approach to the airport, Lt. Worley said. The nose of the plane stuck in the ground during the landing, flipping the plane over, he said.
?That soft dirt made him get stuck,? Lt. Worley said.
The student took off from Hicks Airfield earlier in the day and flew toward Bridgeport before returning, Lt. Worley said.

Speaking of which
I was surprised to hear that Dick Rutan flies a 150. He had an emergency landing after blowing out a cylinder.

I hope he is O.K. also.
Garbage Collector refers to my cleaning up the little garbage can icons on threads with deleted posts in them.
Yikes! I was in the air at that time not 5 miles to the east - was monitoring 121.5 on standbye. Didn't hear any mayday (probably didn't have time - students fly around 2,500' or less around here to stay under the class B).
Glad he's OK.
