Heavy landing accident after the aircraft experienced a self-recovering engine stall which influenced the pilot to make an SFO landing. Although later investigation revealed that the engine was operating normally, the pilot did not wish to go around to correct a high sink rate and landed the aircraft short of the runway.
The impact broke both main landing gear and bounced the aircraft to the far end of the runway, where it settled onto it's centerline tank. The aircraft departed the runway at the far end and slightly right of centerline, where the right hand horizontal tail struck the barrier net take-up reel and broke the aircraft at the FS462 bulkhead. The pilot did not eject, but stayed with the aircraft, sustaining only slight injuries.
Damage analysis revealed over seven broken bulkheads and numerous other parts were damaged as well, prompting the RTAF to declare this aircraft a write-off
