Falcon Field T-6 suffers damage on landing incident. I don't have any details on the incident other than watching the plane make a normal take off. Gear seemed to come up ok but was back down on downwind so we figured we was doing some T&Gs but next we saw was a cloud of dust as he veered off the runway. RLG appears to be snapped and some moderate damage to right wing and prop strike. Pilot appears to be OK. I believe he was part of the formation clinic that was performing at Falcon the last few days but don't quote me on that.

Just a standard ground loop. no injuries, only the pilot on board. Got the aircraft back down and moved it to our hanger, just before the rain started. :| Just another day at Falcon Field.
