Read the full NTSB narrative
The approach to landing was normal but the airplane bounced when a wheel landing was attempted. The pilot applied power to soften the next touchdown, but the airplane bounced again and drifted over the median between the runway and the taxiway. He attempted to go around by adding full power but the airplane continued to drift left. He decided his airspeed was too low to go around. Once he cleared a row of parked airplanes, he attempted to land on a taxiway. The left wing contacted a chain link fence and trees spinning the airplane into the trees.
