Stearman nose over on landing

08th June 2010 – Arlington (Washington D.C. – USA) - The Boeing Stearman B75N1 biplane crashed at Reagan National Airport.
The two-seater touched down the runway and briefly rolled before nosing over. Both pilot and reporter onboard were uninjured. The accident bent and curled two of the propeller's blades, and it damaged the plane's tail, rudder, vertical stabilizer, right wing and part of the engine.
The plane was part of an aerial demonstration to promote "Legends of Flight", a movie making its debut in Washington.
