Analysis

Shortly after touchdown on runway 29, the aircraft veered to the right, became airborne, and then veered sharply to the left. The passenger stated that after the initial touchdown and right drift, the pilot added power, pulled the nose up to a high attitude, and raised the flaps. Reportedly, the aircraft bobbed up and down several times and then fell off to the left. The aircraft crossed a ditch, scraped the wing of Cessna 182Q, N182WB, crashed into a light pole, and burned.
