What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was landing at U03 airport on runway 09 with a slight tail wind. Aircraft's left main tire touched down approximately 5 feet into the dirt on the left side of the runway and the left shock strut contacted the runway landing light. The pilot applied right rudder trying to get the aircraft back on the runway when the tail swung around to the left forcing a right violent turn across the runway by evidence of both main tire marks on the runway with the left tire supporting most of the aircraft weight. When the aircraft departed the right side of runway 09, the left main tire dug into the dirt which slammed the left wing into the ground resulting in the wing bending up approximately 25* at the wing strut location. Both left wing and left aileron sustained substantial damage.
