The aircraft veered off the runway and suffered a landing gear collapse.
Wind Speed/Gusts, Direction: 6 knots / 10 knots, 245°
At 11:07 am on Thursday May 30th Aircraft with the Tail number N58QT attempted to land on a dry runway with moderate to calm winds. Shortly after landing on the landing roll the aircraft veered sharply to the left, leaving a skid where the main landing gear was, this continued until the aircraft exited the runway to the left where the skidding motion of the aircraft caused the main landing gear to catch on the grass resulting in a ground loop type incident. The right main landing gear strut folded in half leading to a partial collapse of the main landing gear leading to severe damage to the right wing, as well as damage to the horizontal stabilizer on the right side.
Airport Manager Riley Wilson arrived on scene at 11:18 AM, Incident was first reported by Curt Yaney. No injuries were reported, this report was confirmed by the presence of Paramedics from the Pinedale Clinic. Shortly after the incident the aircraft was confirmed to be leaking fuel out of the damaged right wing. With assistance from the Pinedale unified Fire Department this fuel spilling was contained safely using anti-Static towels and a containment vessel. Statement from Pilot in command was as follows: "I was flying in these hiking boots today, which I typically don't fly in, I think they got stuck on the left brake pedal" The pilot also noted that the aircraft was heavy due to camping gear in the back, no comment was made on the current CG of the aircraft.
