THE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGERS WERE RETURNING FROM A LOCAL FLIGHT, WHEN HE REPORTED THAT HE WAS HIGH ON THE APPROACH TO RUNWAY 29. HE STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 1/3 DOWN THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED ONCE. HE REPORTED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A GUST OF WIND FROM THE LEFT. HE STATED THAT HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE AIRPLANE SLID TO THE LEFT VEERING OFF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDING WITH TWO UNOCCUPIED AIRPLANES THAT WERE PARKED ON THE GRASS. A WITNESS, WHO IS A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A TRAINING FLIGHT WITH HIS STUDENT STATED THAT HE HAD TO TAKE THE CONTROLS FROM HIS STUDENT DURING THE LANDING AS THE 30 KNOT WINDSOCK ON THE FIELD WAS FULLY EXTENDED. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
