## Narrative

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

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.
