Accident
An airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain during an aborted landing attempt. The accident occurred on runway 14, which is 3,050 feet long and 75 feet wide, with a dry asphalt surface.
Sequence of Events
The pilot reported that while lowering the tailwheel to the runway, the airplane struck two geese. Subsequently, the airplane began to turn to the right. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation by applying left brake, left rudder, and right aileron control inputs. When these inputs did not arrest the turn, the pilot added full engine power with the intention of getting back in the air. However, the left wing then contacted the runway surface. The airplane subsequently flipped onto its back and came to rest in an inverted position.
