I hope she’s not a write-off, but some of that forward fuselage skin looks rather wrinkly?

. . . how do you get flat tires on the nose gear when the main gear collapses? And I thought that only Q400's had collapsing gear options.

Because all the weight of the aircraft rests on the nose gear, after main gear colapse. It will result in deflated nose tyres.

Are you sure this is not one of them secret vertical takeoff & landing stealth craft, seen after heavy landing ;-)

Just above the "Y" that looks like it's broken and the nose doesn't look good either. But luckily it happened on the ground and not on landing or takeoff. Still a sad sight.

Apparantly the AMT working on the aircraft at that time pulled the landing gear lever (by accident or not)?? He was not injured during the collapse.

Twang. And suddenly there is a lot of F50 spare parts available on the used market. Jokes aside, it's always sad to see a demise of a good aeroplane because of a simple mistake or accident.
