What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated he departed mazza airport, VA73, located in matoaca, VA at approximately 1915. Pilot was enroute to a friend's field (not an established grass strip for aircraft). The field was approximately 10 minutes away from VA73. It was a clear VFR day. The aircraft successfully landed on the field. However, once the aircraft slowed during taxi, the left tire caught a soft spot in the damp grass and flipped the aircraft over causing damage to the tail, wings, fuselage, and propeller.
