That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N119BD's record changes.
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that he had a slightly high descent rate and bounced on landing. After the bounce, he initiated a go-around and the airplane "rapidly yawed left approximately 45 degrees" and he heard the stall warning horn. Subsequently, the pilot immediately lowered the nose but touched back down on the runway in a left 25 degree yaw angle to the runway centerline. Upon touchdown, the right main landing gear separated, the right wing impacted the runway, and the airplane departed the runway surface to the left. The right wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
