"Landed nose first" - ah, the Press, bless 'em !!!
It's one of the "pleasure flight" Rapides, which appears to have "nosed over" on landing for whatever reason. Not good, but certainly minor, and NOT a crash, as reported by the uninformed !
Got'a love the press, print and be damned.............................check the facts latter. Whatever happened to good reporting. :D
 
Initial reports suggest it was caused by a failure of the biwidgit retutn valve in the dilitihium drive shaft.
Of course, it might have been due to the recent retro-fitting of nose armour and heater from a P-39 .............................
