Analysis narrative
The pilot reported that the B-29 replica airplane’s nose landing gear encountered a depression on the runway during the landing roll. The airplane yawed to the left, departed the runway surface, and struck a golf cart with a spectator, that was parked on the edge of the runway. The spectator sustained minor injuries. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
