Departures from Washington National airport's longest runway were halted today after a Stearman biplane flipped on arrival.
The accident happened around 1015 (1815 GMT) at the southern end of the airport's north-facing 6,900ft runway 1.
While the airport is closed to unscheduled operations and special charters, the accident happened as a flight of eight Stearman biplanes was on arrival to as part of a press event promoting Legends of Flight 3D IMAX film which opens this week.

Both the pilot and passenger (a journo for the Washington Post) made it out alive. Wow.
