What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On October 27, 2000, at about 1745 hours Alaska standard time, an Aviat-A-1 airplane, N33AV received substantial damage during a landing at lake Hood strip, at Anchorage Alaska. The airman stated that while touching down, she had a bad bounce and immediately added power to go around. Her hesitation in applying right rudder to counteract the left turning tendency allowed the aircraft to take a path to the right of the runway where she struck the airport wind sock. The airman continued around the pattern and landed the aircraft without further incident. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. Information from the airports branch indicated that the wind sock was located in the proper area, and outside the object free zone.
