(-23) On June 15, 2001, N95274, a tundra-tire equipped Taylorcraft BC12 sustained substantial damage during taxi after landing, at Seward, Alaska. The pilot reported that he landed on runway 30 at Seward and was taxiing from the landing. While taxiing a quartering tailwind caused the airplane to ground loop off the east side of the runway. The right main landing gear struck a tree stump. After striking the tree stump the pilot inspected the airplane and found two broken lower fuselage longerons, located between the tailwheel and the wing trailing edge. AWOS reported the wind at the time of the landing was 320 degrees (true) at 14 knots, gusts to 19 knots. privacy data omitted
