This plane was on leaseback at Frederick Flight Center. Someone landed hard enough to damage the firewall and did not say anything when they returned the plane. This happened in August 2010 and now in late 2011 three more landing mishaps happened with major damage to the engine, prop, and aircraft. The nose wheel is NOT a landing gear – it is for steering on the ground.
