A Douglas DC-3C airplane, N305SF, sustained substantial damage during landing on runway 32 at Anchorage International Airport, Alaska. The two pilots, the only occupants, were not injured. The flight was a repositioning flight from Nondalton, Alaska.
The pilot reported that during a normal wheel landing, after lowering the tail at slow speed, the airplane veered left, and departed the runway edge. The airplane was then taxied to the ramp. The tail cone was dragged on the runway, damaging the tail cone attachment bulkhead. Postaccident inspection revealed two stringers in the tailwheel area requiring repair. The tailwheel was offset to the left of the fuselage, and the tailwheel fork assembly casting was found fractured.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, and the resulting overload fracture of the tailwheel fork assembly.
