I got this from a friend who knows the AOPA staff:
"My sources said that a Washington Post reporter was being carried and admitted to accidentally pushing the brakes in order to leverage himself up to see better during the landing. He didn't realize he was pushing rudders or brakes. It's a good lesson for all of us who routinely carry non-pilots in tailwheel aircraft to brief them on where not to have there feet & hands during critical phases of flight."
This makes sense, as the plane flipped almost at the instant of MLG touchdown in a wheel landing. I wonder if the Washington post is going to pick up the rebuild tab?
