Sequence of Events
The pilot flared the airplane over the center line of Runway 17. Prior to touchdown, a gust of wind lifted the right wing, causing the airplane to veer left off the runway. The pilot initiated a go-around. According to the pilot, the airplane would not climb during the attempted aborted landing, and he was unable to regain control.
The airplane then struck the top two strands of a barbed wire fence. It subsequently touched down in an open field adjacent to the airport, struck a tree and a second fence, and then came to a stop.
Weather Conditions
The landing was attempted in a right crosswind. Winds at the closest weather observation facility were reported to be from 260 degrees at 12 knots, gusting to 20 knots.
