The pilot and a passenger were unhurt after a single-engine Cessna missed the runway while landing at the Twisp Municipal Airport Monday (April 3) and flipped upside-down.
The accident happened about 2:30 p.m. and was apparently caused by strong side winds, said Twisp Police Chief Paul Budrow.
Emergency responders from Okanogan Fire District 6 and Aero Methow Rescue Service came to the scene, but were not needed.
The plane, a four-seat Cessna 172, approached the runway heading toward Twisp. It missed the pavement and landed on grass along the right side of the runway. It appeared to have traveled some distance on the grass before overturning.
