Narrative:

After a x-country flight from levelland (Q24) to grand prairie (F67) I found the airport and flew over it at 2000'. I saw a twin small aircraft Y landing at runway 35 at F67. I saw the windsock indicated wind from 260 degree. I decided to land on runway 35. I came in at mid downwind for a right-hand traffic pattern. I flew a normal base and a normal final. I touched the runway with the left main wheel first, then the right main wheel and I was lined up with the runway with full aileron deflection to the left. After the right main wheel touched the ground, the airplane began to bank to the right. As the wingtip hit the runway, the airplane began to turn to the left. The nosewheel and the propeller touched the ground at almost the same time. As the airplane stopped in the grass next to the runway, it fell back on the left main gear. I stepped out, looked at the damage and went to the grand prairie FBO and reported it. The nose wheel, right wingtip, and propeller were damaged.

Title: SMA EXPERIENCES GROUND LOOP AT F67, TX.

Narrative: AFTER A X-COUNTRY FLT FROM LEVELLAND (Q24) TO GRAND PRAIRIE (F67) I FOUND THE ARPT AND FLEW OVER IT AT 2000'. I SAW A TWIN SMA Y LNDG AT RWY 35 AT F67. I SAW THE WINDSOCK INDICATED WIND FROM 260 DEG. I DECIDED TO LAND ON RWY 35. I CAME IN AT MID DOWNWIND FOR A RIGHT-HAND TFC PATTERN. I FLEW A NORMAL BASE AND A NORMAL FINAL. I TOUCHED THE RWY WITH THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL FIRST, THEN THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL AND I WAS LINED UP WITH THE RWY WITH FULL AILERON DEFLECTION TO THE LEFT. AFTER THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL TOUCHED THE GND, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN TO BANK TO THE RIGHT. AS THE WINGTIP HIT THE RWY, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN TO TURN TO THE LEFT. THE NOSEWHEEL AND THE PROPELLER TOUCHED THE GND AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME. AS THE AIRPLANE STOPPED IN THE GRASS NEXT TO THE RWY, IT FELL BACK ON THE LEFT MAIN GEAR. I STEPPED OUT, LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND WENT TO THE GRAND PRAIRIE FBO AND REPORTED IT. THE NOSE WHEEL, RIGHT WINGTIP, AND PROPELLER WERE DAMAGED.
