The General Motors built Grumman FM-2 Wildcat, N909WJ, was substantially damaged when it overturned during an emergency landing in a field between Schlatt and Bremgarten, near Bad Krozingen, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg. The pilot sustained serious injuries.
After a descent from about 9500 ft AMSL, with the aircraft already in the extended final approach range, the engine did not accept power. The pilot then decided to make an emergency landing with the landing gear retracted on an agricultural area with low vegetation. After touchdown and a short skid, the aircraft rolled over on its lateral axis until it was inverted.
The aircraft had recently been imported in Germany and made her first flight after restoration on May 20, 2022.
