Analysis
After arriving, the pilot made a go-around on his first approach to runway 33 when he saw a truck on the runway. On his second downwind, he determined that trucks were operating only on the displaced portion of runway 15. He continued the second approach in winds that were gusting to 15 KTS. The pilot said that he hit a gust of wind during the landing flare and found himself high, slow, and off to the right. He attempted a go-around, but was unable to regain flying speed. The right main gear collapsed during a landing in the construction area.
