According to the pilot, he was performing touch and go landings on runway 20. During the landing roll, the pilot encountered a wind gust from the left which "weather cocked the plane to about 15 degrees left of centerline." The pilot stated that he applied power and full right rudder but was not able to straighten the airplane. He reduced engine power and applied brakes. The aircraft looped to the left and the right wing and elevator impacted the runway causing substantial damage. An inspection of the airplane systems revealed no anomalies. According to the Aviation Routine Weather Report at 1502 winds were recorded as 150 degrees at 7 knots with gusts to 15 knots.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during the landing roll resulting in a ground loop. Contributing to the accident was the crosswind.
