After arriving from Gaspé and discharging the passengers, the pilot was taxing for takeoff on the gravel runway of a privately owned airport at Port-Menier, Anticosti, Quebec, when his right wheel was caught in a two-foot hole. The abrupt stop damaged the landing gear, the right propeller and the engine nacelle. The pilot was not injured. The spring thaw had apparently undermined the runway.
