What happened
A certificated commercial pilot was operating an unspecified aircraft from a 2,200-foot gravel airstrip. The flight was intended to consist of several touch-and-go landings for the purpose of maintaining pilot proficiency.
During the takeoff roll, the airplane veered toward the left side of the runway. The excursion occurred approximately midfield along the length of the airstrip. As the aircraft departed the paved surface, the main landing gear made contact with soft terrain, causing the airplane to nose over. The pilot was not injured.
The aircraft sustained substantial damage to its wings and the right wing lift strut.
