The video shows the landing. Apparently it blew a tyre on the port main gear. This is a video showing the Hornets crosswind take-off. Love the black skid marks the first departure left  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYUm5Nl6318

Todd everything is fine with Sabre, tyre was changed Sunday night and Trappo was flying it out today. He said he got bounced around a bit by a stronger gust of wind touching down, hence the spectacular landing..
Nigel Connie is fine it was a pavement failure on both port and starboard bogeys, on cross runway western side, first time it's happened, because of the rain you guys have been getting down there apparently.

Having seen the TV footage of the damage done to the runway, I think it's fair to say the damage was caused by more than just a bit of recent rain. Initial repair estimates are around $15k, but if they decide to re-do the whole runway it'll be hundreds of thousands.
Perhaps one day the organisers might be able to allow public viewing from the western side of the main runway. For the photographers wanting aerial shots, the afternoon sun is a right royal pain at YWOL. Below is the Sabre before the tyre blow-out, and one of the Hornet during its display. Both shots from west of the main runway
