P-40 Warhawk Suffers Landing Gear Failure In New Smyrna Beach, FL

Pilot Unhurt When Gear Collapsed After Landing

A P-40 Warhawk landing at New Smyrna Beach airport on Florida's central Atlantic coast suffered a landing gear failure after touching down at 1622 EDT Wednesday afternoon.

The Daytona Beach News Journal reports that New Smyrna Beach police spokesman Sgt. Eugene Graffith said that the pilot of the aircraft was uninjured, and that "there is no crash, no fire, and it appears the plane did not flip over."

Local authorities were alerted to the incident by a person in the control tower who called 911 after the gear collapsed.
