The pilot landed the airplane about 500 - 600 feet beyond the threshold of the 1,800-foot runway, and then aborted the landing. As the airplane climbed through 15 feet above ground level, the pilot banked the airplane right, and the right wing contacted a bush. The airplane turned 180 degrees and impacted the ground substantially damaging the wings, engine mounts, and tail section.
