HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A small plane flipped off the end of a runway during takeoff in Harnett County on Thursday afternoon, officials said.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) official said the single-engine Fisher FP-202 Koala aircraft flipped over around 5 p.m. just outside of Buies Creek at the Harnett Regional Jetport.
