RV-7 Down in Nevada
additional information from the media showed a picture of the aircraft. It landed off field and flipped over. The cockpit was intact and the cockpit structure was intact. Another testament to the structural integrity of Vans aircraft.

That would be 51MJ. FAA records show it to be a "Standard Category" aircraft.
Obviously an error.

That's our home airpark, but Louise and I are not home this weekend. It is, in fact, Mike Jimenez' airplane, and reports we got immediately after the mishap were that they were being helped out of the inverted plane and were standing before taking a ride to get checked out at the hospital. Initial reports are that he lost the engine inbound to the airport and ended up in the desert short of the runway - and that they did flip.
We'll be home tomorrow and will find out more.
Very glad that Mike and Shiela appear to be OK, and sorry about the damage to a beautiful airplane - but so long as it brings the occupants through intact, it has done its job.
Paul

A friend called and talked to him this morning and they are OK. He is home and his wife was kept overnight in the hospital. He is bringing her home today. Mike said he cut a finger and they were just bruised and sore.
Don't know what happened except he said the engine quit.

Bruised and sore seems to be a very good outcome for a flip over. Hooray to that.

The reporter says the airplane sustained "minor damage." 
That'll buff out, right?
Glad they're ok. I'd be curious to hear how they got out.
