The airplane was registered to C S Mikate Investments of Plymouth, Wisconsin, and operated by Wright Flyers Aviation Inc., of San Antonio, Texas. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight originated from SSF approximately 1200. Information provided in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), revealed that the 210-hour pilot was making a full stop landing and was advised by the air traffic control tower to exit the 4,128-foot runway at the end. The aircraft proceeded beyond the exit point, and continued off the end of the runway. Subsequently, the airplane impacted an airport perimeter fence. The pilot stated he "applied brakes to stop, but the airplane continued until striking the fence." The FAA inspector reported that the left main landing gear was collapsed aft, and the leading edge of the left wingsustained an 8-inch tear extending aft to the wing spar. An FAA inspector tested the airplanes brake system and no anomalies were noted. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N260MF](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N260MF-2008-07-21), registration cancelled 2008-07-21, S/N 0026, built 2002 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: OMF 100-160 - Registry model: [OMF OMF-100-160](https://openairdocs.org/model/omf-omf-100-160) (registry code 05611Y0) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming 0-320 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-0-320-series) (registry code 41508, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 0026 - Airframe hours: 299 - Engines: Lycoming O-320 180 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Wright Flyers Aviation Inc. - Registered owner: C S Mikate Investments - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, April 21, 2003, 20.6 hours before - Departed: SSF, SAN ANTONIO, TX - Airport: SSF, Stinson Airport, runway 14, 4,128 × 100 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
