The pilot reported that while on final approach a crosswind gust pushed the nose of the airplane to the left. The pilot corrected back to the runway centerline and after landing "...a wind gust turned the tail and accelerated a right turn or a ground loop. The left wing touched the ground and the left gear collapsed." The undercarriage of the airplane where the left main gear attaches to the fuselage sustained substantial damage.
The pilot reported that while on final approach a crosswind gust pushed the nose of the airplane to the left. The pilot corrected back to the runway centerline and, after landing, a wind gust turned the tail and the airplane ground-looped. During the ground loop, the left wing touched the ground and the left gear collapsed. The undercarriage of the airplane where the left main gear attaches to the fuselage sustained substantial damage.
