No one was reported hurt in the aircraft or on the ground. The aircraft, based at the Norfolk Naval Station, attempted its landing about 6 p.m. at Chambers Field, the Navy said. It "was making a single-engine, emergency landing when it landed short of the runway, collapsing the nose gear," said Lt. Cmdr. Dave Nunnally, an Atlantic Fleet Naval Air Force spokesman. Damage to the aircraft, which is assigned to the Tigertails of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 125, is being assessed. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
