I don't have a link or picture, but a Cessna crash landed on our R/C club's runway. This is not an RC aircraft, but a real Cessna. The pilot was lost I believe?

Guys I don't think you understood my friend Someone11 when he said the pic. He was talking about at our field, our club. The pilot flying a cessna landed his plane on our r/c club's runway! He ran out of room and hit the ditch bank causing it to flip over. Pilot was not injured.
The reason he landed was because he thought he drifted off course and was lost and saw that it was getting dark and he wanted to stop flying. The guy was old and I think he panicked. If you pick up the I think its either March, April, or May edition of Model Aviation and look in the back at the disrtict reports you will see a little pic of a flipped over cessna and a little story about it. BTW it happened in District 10
