While performing a main wheel landing on runway 34, the pilot said that the airplane bounced once, and then 'swerved right.' He said that he applied a 'strong correction to the left to bring the airplane's nose back to the centerline.' The airplane subsequently ground looped to the left. Postaccident examination of the right main tire disclosed that its inner tube had failed.
Probable Cause: The failure of the right main landing gear tire's inner tube, and the subsequent inadvertent ground loop by the pilot.
