THE AIRPLANE WAS ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN AND FIVE MILES FROM THE AIRPORT, THE AIRPLANE BROKE OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND PROCEEDED VFR TO THE AIRPORT. IT WAS A DARK NIGHT AND LIGHT RAIN WAS FALLING. THE PILOT STATED HE FLEW OVER THE AIRPORT TWICE LOOKING FOR A WIND DIRECTION INDICATOR BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE. HE ELECTED TO TOUCH DOWN ON THE END OF THE RUNWAY CLOSEST TO THE TOWN LIGHTS. HE LANDED DOWNWIND AND BY THE TIME HE FOUND OUT THE BRAKING ACTION WAS SO POOR, IT WAS TOO LATE TO MAKE A GO-AROUND AND TOO LATE TO STOP. HE WENT OFF THE END, CROSSED A ROAD, WENT THROUGH A POND AND STOPPED AGAINST SMALL TREES. A CITY OFFICIAL SAID THE RUNWAY IS LIGHTED BUT THE WINDSOCK AND WIND 'T' ARE NOT.
