Oh my! And my instructor complained when I bounced on my first solo landing. That was well over 30 years ago but I still remember it.

It takes a lot of skill to land a plane upside down without breaking it. I suggest a little more training. Of course the wheels make landing somewhat softer. How did you get it to tip over? This type of flip is usually reserved for taildraggers.

One of the axioms of being a pilot is: "You will always have enough fuel to get to the scene of the of the crash".

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing they say. But this one is going to cost you some cash. At least it didn't cost you your life.

Ouch! I enjoyed a ride in a Cessna 150 many years ago, much smoother landing by the one piloting.

This is true.

It takes grit to make a mistake like this and take a pic and share with us ... What were the first words of the instructor ... ?

I enjoyed the ride not the landing.
