Significantly damaged on September 9, 2009 when the left landing gear collapsed during the rollout after landing. The aircraft veered to the left and came to rest on the grass next to the runway. The left landing gear broke off during the excursion. Both crewmembers were unharmed. An initial assessment of the damage revelead that the outer bar of the gear showed a crack, which weakened the gear and ulitmately led to the event. Seen here in a remote corner of the airport, resting on a bunch of wooden pallets, with the torn off gear next to it.
