## Narrative

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

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER DEPARTING THE AIRPORT WITH WINDS OUT OF 240 AND USING RUNWAY 27 FOR A 20-MINUTE INTRO FLIGHT, A WIND SHIFT OCCURRED AND ON RETURN, THE WIND WAS 330 AT 18 WITH GUSTS.  DURING TOUCH DOWN ON THE MAIN WHEELS ALL WAS ON CENTER LINE UNTIL THE TAILWHEEL TOUCHED AND A GUST CAUSED A GROUND LOOP OVERSTRESSING THE LEFT MAIN WHICH BROKE OFF THEN THE LEFT WING IMPACTED THE GROUND WITH THE AIRCRAFT 90 DEGREES OFF RUNWAY HEADING INTO THE WIND.
