## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT ORIGINATING FROM OAK TREE AERO PARK, A PRIVATE AIRSTRIP 3 MILES EAST OF PLATTSMOUTH, NE., WITH SEVERAL LANDINGS SCHEDULED AT VARIOUS AIRPORTS IN SW IOWA, BEFORE RETURNING TO OAK TREE AERO PARK. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT CORNING, IA(CRZ) ON RUNWAY 35, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE A/C AS IT TRIED TO WEATHER VANE INTO THE STRONG CROSSWIND. THE WINDS REPORTED AT 10 MILES EAST OF CORNING WERE 280 DEGREES AT 10 GUSTING 25 KNOTS. AS THE A/C WAS DRIFTING TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER TO INITIATE A GO AROUND. THE A/C, STILL OUT OF CONTROL, THEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT, CROSSED THE RUNWAY ATY ALMOST A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND PROCEDED IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. A LARGE GULLEY PARALLELS 35 ON THE EAST SIDE. THE A/C BECAME AIRBORNE AT THAT POINT, STRUCK A TREE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GULLEY AND IMPACTED THE GROUND ABOUT 75 FEET FROM THE TREE. THE A/C CAME TO REST 40 FEET AFTER THE INITIAL IMPACT. THE A/C RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
