## Narrative

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

CLEARED TO LAND RWY 27 WITH WINDS 09008 DUE TO A MASS ARRIVAL OF BONANZAS RWY 36. MAIN WHEEL LANDING WAS NORMAL BUT BEFORE HE COULD COMPLETE THE LANDING, THE TOWER INSTRUCTED HIM TO QUICKLY EXIT THE RUNWAY DUE TO TRAFFIC APPROACHING HIM QUICKLY. THE PILOT LOWERED THE TAIL AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING AND LOWER AILERON.
