## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THIS AIRCRAFT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER ON 10-23-2003. IT WAS DELIVERED TO MR. BROCKMAN, THE CURRENT OWNER, AT THE TOLEDO, WA AIRPORT. THIS FLIGHT WAS THE FIRST AFTER PURCHASING THE AIRCRAFT. MR. BROCKMAN HAD VERY LITTLE TAIL WHEEL TIME, SO HE DECIDED HE NEEDED A FAMILIARIZATION CHECK RIDE WITH MR. JERRY ZABRISKI, A LOCAL PILOT WITH EXTENSIVE TAIL WHEEL TIME. THEY TOOK OFF AND FLEW THROUGH A NORMAL CHECKOUT FLIGHT. UPON LANDING THE AIRCRAFT FELT AS THOUGH THE RIGHT BRAKE HAD LOCKED UP AND WAS VEERING TO THE RIGHT. MR. ZABRISKI TOOK CONTROL AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE LANDING. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR CAME OUT OF THE LANDING GEAR BOX, ALLOWING THE AIRCRAFT TO CONTINUE TO SETTLE WITH CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE.
