'Copied from Warbird Alley news this morning
Glad all we not injured, planes can be fixed!
25 June: A 1943 Fairchild M-62A (PT-19), N50426 (s/n T43-5197), went off the runway and nosed-over during landing at Camarillo, California, USA. The pilot and passenger were not injured.
25 June: Bizarrely, a short time after the above incident, a second Fairchild M-62A (PT-19) -- N641BP -- went off the runway during takeoff in Camarillo due to a tire separating from its wheel. The aircraft nosed-over and suffered damage to its propeller, engine, and cowl. Neither the pilot nor the passenger were injured.
