DURING THE THIRD TOUCH-AND-GO, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND THE PILOT APPLIED THROTTLE TO RECOVER, BUT BOUNCED AGAIN. HE RELEASED BACK PRESSURE, THE NOSE PITCHED DOWN, AND THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN. HE ELECTED TO GO AROUND, NOT REALIZING THAT THE NOSE WHEEL TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT AND THE PROPELLER HAD STRUCK THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT LANDED AND NOTICED THAT THE NOSE WHEEL TIRE WAS FLAT. A POSTACCIDENT INSPECTION REVEALED THE FUSELAGE AND FIREWALL WERE BUCKLED.
