(-23) THE PILOT (CHARLES D. GILLAN) STATED THAT WHILE ON BASE LEG, HE CHANGED HIS MIND FROM LANDING ON RWY 4, TO DO A "TOUCH AND GO" ON THE WATER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT RWY BUT HAD ALREADY COMPLETED THE LANDING CHECKLIST (TO RWY 4). HE NEGLECTED TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO TOUCH DOWN, WHICH CAUSED THE ACFT TO FLIP OVER ON THE WATER.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
