An IAI Westwind corporate jet operated by PGA Tour Investments landed hard at Oxford-Waterbury, Connecticut, on 1 May 1991 after a charter flight from Saint Augustine. The tires burst and the right main gear collapsed after nose gear touchdown. The aircraft veered off the runway and stopped about 150 to 200 yards from the point of departure. All seven occupants escaped uninjured.
