Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE DURING LANDING ON A NARROW STRIP IN A VARIABLE CROSSWIND. THE PILOT HAD TAKEN OFF FROM THE SAME AIRSTRIP EARLIER WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. HE SAID A STRONG GUST OF WIND STRUCK HIS AIRCRAFT AS IT WAS TOUCHING DOWN. THIS DISPLACED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT WHERE THE RIGHT WINGTIP STRUCK THE FENCE AND GROUNDLOOPED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT STATED THAT TREES NEAR THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY RESULTED IN A VERY UNSTABLE WIND CONDITION AT TOUCHDOWN.
