    A small plane crashed at the Camarillo Airport Thursday morning, authorities reported.

    The Ventura County Fire Department responded shortly before 10:30 a.m. The pilot, the only occupant, had climbed out of the plane and was uninjured, according to initial reports.

    The plane had overturned on the runway.

    Firefighters, airport personnel and others could be seen gathered around the disabled craft as they worked out a plan to move it from the runway.

    County airport officials couldn't be reached for comment. County fire officials had no additional information about the pilot or the plane.

    I actually saw this plane in the air yesterday since I work near the Airport. I also saw it belly up as well. It's a tail dragger and it makes me wonder how experienced the pilot is on landing. Maybe he hit the brakes too hard while pushing forward on the stick while landing, OOOPS!.
