Just a few minutes before returning to Lakeveiw Airport from a trip to Minneapolis MN. to pick up a dismantled J3, an instructor with a female student did this to my runway. The instructor was someone I had never met and had not been checked out by me or anyone else at my flight school. I don't know anymore who turned him loose with my Cub but he had this beautiful young 20 something year old movie star looking female with him. This could be why someones judgement got blurry and let him have the plane.

On landing he let the student slam the Cub down so hard that the gear spread out far enough for the prop to hit and shatter carving these little groves in the runway.
Note the piece of the prop hub in the picture.
