The airplane was being flown to a nearby airport for an annual inspection. Upon arriving at the destination airport , the pilot checked the local weather, and discovered that the winds were 230-degrees at 16 knots gusting to 24 knots. The airport information revealed that there was a wind shear alert in effect also. The pilot stated that the flight was vectored to runway 23R, and while on the approach to land the flight encountered turbulent weather conditions. During the landing flare, the flight encountered a wind gust, and the airplane climbed several feet higher above the ground. The airplane was then slammed onto the runway and bounced several times. The pilot taxied the airplane to the ramp without further incident. The post-accident examination of the airplane revealed that the engine firewall was buckled.
