Analysis
The acft groundlooped to the rt during an attempted go-around after landing. The plt was landing at a arpt with watch he was unfamilar. He thought he saw wires at the approach end of the rwy so he landed long and then attempted a go-around. The acft fishtailed to the left and when the plt overcorrected to the rt the acft went out of contrl and damaged the acft.
