Man tries to sell upside down plane

A US man is trying to sell his damaged plane online - after landing it upside down in a storm.

The seller, named only as Jim on the Craigslist, wants the equivalent of £10,000 for the 1968 Cessna 172 H.

In the listing, Jim explains in his own way how the plane came to look like a turtle flipped on its back.

"It started out as a bad hair day, ya know kinda windy, got called out to plow, course here in DV (Death Valley) we plow gravel off the road, anyway must have had a twister come thru so I spent the afternoon flipping my plane," he admitted.

Jim goes on to list the extensive list of damaged parts that potential buyers may wish to consider before lodging a bid.

They may be consoled that the plane, currently at Furnace Creek airport in Death Valley, California, has at least now been turned the right way up.
