On June 15, 1997, about 1012 eastern daylight time, a Beech B19, N59BW, registered to a Dair Enterprize Inc., operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, crashed on landing at the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The private pilot and one passenger reported no injuries. The flight originated from Daytona Beach, Florida, about 17 minutes before the accident. The pilot stated he conducted a preflight inspection of the airplane before he departed on the VFR flight to conduct touch-and-go landings at New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He inadvertently left the nosewheel tow bar attached to the airplane. On climbout, Daytona Beach tower informed him that something was attached to the nosewheel. He elected to continue to New Smyrna Beach. He made a VFR approach to runway 29 and was concentrating on keeping the nose high due to the tow bar. He landed hard on the left main landing gear and the nose pitched down on the nosewheel. The left main landing gear and the nose wheel separated, the airplane veered to the left, departed the runway, and the left wing collided with the ground.
