PLT STATED AFTER THE ACCIDENT, '...I NOTICED THE WIND SOCK AND IT WAS DROOPING...I WENT TO FINAL APPROACH (FOR RWY 1) ... NOTICED A LITTLE WIND SO I CRABBED INTO IT, AND I NOTICED MY APPROACH DIDN'T LOOK GOOD SO I WENT TO DO A GO-AROUND. I WENT TO RAISE THE FLAPS AND JUST THEN A WIND SHEAR OR MICRO BURST HIT US AND WE HIT REAL HARD AND BOUNCED...I TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT BUT HAD NO CONTROL.' THE AIRCRAFT THEN NOSED OVER ON THE RWY.
