(-23) I WAS CONTACTED BY ATLANTA OPS CENTER AT 11:50AM ON 10/07/2007 WITH THE REPORT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED AT THE PERSON COUNTY AIRPORT (TDF) JUST SOUTH OF ROXBORO, NC. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ OF THE NTSB AND I SPOKE TO THE PILOT OF THE AIRCRAFT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. HE STATED AT THAT TIME THAT HE HAD ONLY RECENTLY GOTTEN THE AIRPLANE BACK FROM REPAIRS DUE TO A PREVIOUS GROUND LOOP EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND THAT JUST AFTER LANDING THE TAIL HAD COME DOWN AND ON ROLL-OUT THE RIGHT WING CAME UP AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED. HE REPORTED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING TIP, LEFT ELEVATOR TIP AND LEFT MAIN GEAR. ON 10/10/07 I WENT TO ROXBORO TO EXAMINE THE AIRCRAFT. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WAS BENT JUST ABOVE THE TOP OF THE WHEEL PANT AT ABOUT 45 DEGREES, AND THE WHEEL ITSELF WAS BROKEN. THE LEFT WING WAS BENT UPWARD FROM THE TIP TO APPROXIMATELY 24" IN ON THE WING, TO INCLUDE THE AILERON AND THE TIP OF THE WING SPAR. THE LEFT ELEVATOR TIP AND COUNTER WEIGHT WERE ALSO BENT AND SCUFFED. THE LEFT DOOR WAS BROKEN OFF AT THE HINGES, AND THE RIGHT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN PAST THE FUEL DRAIN. THE LANDING GEAR STRUCTURE IS ALSO BENT DEFORMED AND TWISTED. WHEN I RECEIVED HIS STATEMENT SEVERAL DAYS LATER THERE WAS SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS.
