Analysis

The pilot reported that the wind sock was limp when a low pass was made after arrival. Reportedly, the aircraft became airborne again after touchdown. The pilot elected to go around, but after lift-off, the stall warning horn sounded and the nose was lowered to gain airspeed. The aircraft then struck arbors in a vineyard and nosed over.
