Sad. I have watched the owner cleaning it and it was a nice airplane. It was on leaseback to one of the clubs.

Don't know. Takes a lot of side force to snap the main gear off an Archer though.

That's taken from the grass between the parallels and toward the freshly paved big runway 35R/17L (aircraft is pointed north).
Was closed for a while midday. Sometime around 4PM when I was taxiing in, the airport ops truck asked to close it again for 15 minutes and took four people out there further south, so maybe they went looking for a missing part. Dunno.
Tower was funny though..
"Airport Five, how much longer?"
"About five minutes."
"Okay, because we have some Lears that would prefer the long runway..."
