That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N108AM's record changes.
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that during a wheel landing, the airplane touched down and bounced. He added a “slight bump of power” and decided to turn the landing into a three-point landing. The airplane was higher above the ground than he realized, and it stalled. During the second touchdown, the airplane landed hard, and the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane bounced a second time, then settled onto the runway and veered off the runway to the left. The airplane crossed a berm and nosed over. The left-wing struts, vertical stabilizer, and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
