On September 13, 2023, at 1100 mountain daylight time, a Boeing Stearman A75N1 (PT-17), N10KP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Monticello, Utah. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that after performing the preflight checklist and runup, he departed from runway 16 and remained in the airport traffic pattern. He conducted a low pass over runway 16, made a left crosswind turn and began a climb. About 500 ft mean sea level (msl) the engine began to lose power and the rpm’s began to deteriorate. The engine did not experience a complete loss of power, but the rpm’s and airspeed continued to deteriorate. The pilot elected to make an off-airport landing to flat, sage brush covered terrain. The left main landing gear collapsed during the landing roll, resulting in substantial damage to the lower-left wing when it struck the surface.
The wreckage was recovered for further examination.
