Witnesses say they saw the aircraft coming into the runway faster than normal.
"Well it's a sad day for the guy (pilot) because it’s his airplane. You know it's going to require a lot of work to get it back. But the important thing is that everyone is all right. That's always number one," said pilot Warner Boyd who witnessed the hard landing.
No one was injured.
