What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On April 2, 2000, about 1300 Alaska daylight time, a wheel equipped Cessna 150M airplane, N704GK, sustained substantial damage while landing on a snow covered airstrip. The student pilot had rented an aircraft in order to complete his solo cross-country flight to Skwentna, Alaska. While enroute the student pilot mistakenly identified the accident airstrip as Skwentna. While on approach to the south, the airman stated he realized that he was not at his intended destination airport. As the airman continued his missed approach at tree level, a gust of wind pushed the aircraft to the ground causing the aircraft to flip on it's back. Investigation into this matter has revealed that the aircraft was within a 100 hour inspection, however out of annual inspection.
