FOLLOWING A REFUELING STOP AT SALINA, KANSAS, THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A POWER FAILURE IN CRUISE FLIGHT AT 7,500 FEET. THE OFF AIRPORT LANDING RESULTED IN SEPARATION OF THE LEFT WHEEL AND SUBSEQUENT COLLAPSE OF THE LEFT MAIN STRUT.

ADDITIONAL FUSELAGE UNDERSIDE DAMAGE FROM THE CABIN DOOR AFT TO THE TAILCONE WAS SUSTAINED. A POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED ONLY UNUSABLE FUEL IN THE LEFT WING TANK AND THE ENGINE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STARTED AND CAPABLE OF NORMAL OPERATION FOLLOWING SELECTION OF RIGHT WING FUEL TANK.
