What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot overflew the airport to check the wind sock and entered a right downwind for runway 10. Pilot was high on the approach and slipped the aircraft to lose the altitude. The pilot set up for a wheel landing and had the right wing low for the crosswind. As the right main touched down the airplane veered sharply to the left. Pilot applied full power for a go around but did not regain flying speed in time to avoid the trees and bushes on the left side of the runway. The aircraft hit and then came to a stop in the trees.
