What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot privacy data omitted wanted to take some photographs of his aircraft at a remote airfield for a brochure for his FAR part 13 business. The pilot privacy data omitted chose salmon bar airstrip at the confluence of the salmon and snake rivers. The airstrip is approximately 700 feet long by 60 feet wide. The airport elevation is 916 feet. The pilot privacy data omitted flew three passes by the airstrip to check winds and elected to land towards the south going up stream and up hill with what appeared to him to be a five knot tailwind. During the time that he was making his final preparations for landing the wind increased in velocity to 10 to 12 knots, he landed with a quartering tail wind. With the tail wind component and the short airstrip the pilot privacy data omitted overshot the end of the runway and ran off the departure end of the runway. The aircraft flipped over onto the aircraft's back damaging the vertical stabilizer, rudder, left and right wing and fuselage.
