EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- A small plane landed upside down at Meadow Lake Airport in El Paso County Friday morning, injuring the pilot.

El Paso County Sheriff's deputies received a 911 call around 10:15 a.m. from the airport indicating a plane had made a "hard landing on a runway."

Deputies and Falcon fire crews responded and found the 2002 home-made RV-6A plane upside down.

The pilot, 83-year-old James MacDougald, was out of the plane but incoherant, complaining of leg and head injuries. MacDougald was taken to St. Francis Hospital for evaluation, but his injuries are unknown.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will be in charge of clearing the scene and doing an on-site investigation.

Nobody else was in the plane, and there were no injuries on the ground.
