Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that shortly after touching down in the tail wheel equipped airplane, as the tail was settling the airplane encountered a gust of wind from the right. The right wing lifted and the pilot was unable to maintain directional control, which resulted in a ground loop. The left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing was substantially damaged. The pilot reported there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions that contributed to the accident.
