THE PLT TOOK OFF FROM THE STOCKMAR ARPT ON A LOCAL FLT. AFTER FLYING IN THE LOCAL AREA, HE RETURNED AT DUSK TO LAND, BUT INADVERTENTLY MADE AN APPROACH TO ANOTHER ARPT THAT WAS LOCATED ABOUT 1/2 MI FROM THE STOCKMAR ARPT. HE DID NOT REALIZED THAT HE WAS MAKING AN APPROACH TO THE WRONG ARPT UNTIL THE ACFT WAS ABOUT 40 FT ABOVE THE RWY. THE PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND, BUT THE ACFT CRASHED INTO TREES NEAR THE END OF THE RWY. THE OPERATOR REPORTED THAT THE PLT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO FLY THE ACFT.
