(-23) PILOT STATES THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING A LANDING ON RUNWAY 18 AT JOHNSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (OJC), OLATHE, KANSAS, WHEN HE MADE A HARD LANDING AND BOUNCED ONCE, AND PROBABLY TWICE, BEFORE ADDING POWER AND GOING AROUND FOR A SECOND ATTEMPT. DURING CLIMBOUT THE TOWER ADVISED HIM THAT HE HAD LOST HIS NOSE WHEEL. PILOT DECIDED TO DIVERT TO NEW CENTURY AIRCENTER (IXD), OLATHE, KANSAS, FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING DUE TO LONGER RUNWAYS AND GREATER ACCESS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
