Finally found a bit more info, the CNN crew had it a bit wrong. It was Nanchang version build of a Yak, post WWII. Still a bit startling to see a plane on it’s nose. Expensive landing.

1 May: A Nanchang CJ-6A, N552CY, declared an emergency and force-landed in a field near Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The sole occupant was not injured.
