According to the pilot of the Cessna 170A, he had intended to make a full stop landing; however, while on final approach he realized that he was too high and performed a go-around. He then approached the runway a second time with the intent of executing a full stall landing. He stated that the second approach was a little high. The main landing gear wheels touched down first, and the Cessna bounced, came down again, and began to veer to the left of the runway centerline. The pilot applied full power; however, he was unable to regain directional control of the Cessna or attain a climb. Subsequently, the Cessna's right wing contacted the right wing of a Lake LA-4 airplane. The Lake was standing with the engine operating near the airport refueling facility. The Cessna then impacted steel posts that surrounded the airport refueling facility and came to a stop upright along an embankment.
