THE ARPT HAD A UNICOM & 2 RWYS, 17/35 & 10/28. THE ACFT HAD AN OPERABLE RADIO, BUT THE PLT DID NOT CALL UNICOM. HE ELECTED TO LAND ON RWY 17 WHICH HAD A X-WIND FROM 100 DEGS AT 20 KTS. DURING THE APCH, THE PLT COMPENSATED FOR THE X-WIND BY LOWERING THE LEFT WING & KEEPING THE FUSELAGE ALIGNED WITH THE RWY. HE STATED THAT JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, A GUST OF WIND RAISED THE LEFT WING & CAUSED THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL TO HIT THE RWY. THE ACFT WEATHERVANED & WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE PLT ADDED FULL POWER, MANEUVERED THE PLANE BACK OVER THE RWY, 'DUMPED THE FLAPS' & 'TRIED TO CLIMB OUT'. HOWEVER, THE ACFT WAS HEADED TOWARD PARKED AIRPLANES & A SMALL TOWER. THE PLT TURNED RIGHT TO AVOID THE OBSTACLES, BUT THE RIGHT WING HIT THE GROUND & THE ACFT CRASHED. THERE WERE HANGARS LOCATED TO THE EAST OF RWY 17. THE PLT BELIEVED THAT WIND BLOWING OVER THE HANGARS CREATED TURBULENCE WHICH CAUSED HIM TO LOSE CONTROL.
