## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

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.
