Analysis
The 2330 ft rwy had a 674 ft displaced threshold & power lines near the apch end. The plt reported that during arrival, he made a steep apch with full flaps & min power. After touching down at about midfield, he realized there was insufficient rwy remaining & elected to go around by adding full power & retracting the flaps. The acft became airborne, but crashed into a 2.5 ft dirt bank & fence about 170 ft from the rwy, then slid & damaged 3 automobiles.
