Narrative:

Upon landing and transition from 2-WHEEL to 3 point, the airplane veered to the right, and I corrected and then the airplane veered sharply left. I gave full right rudder, but was behind the airplane and it swung off the runway. The drag of the grass, soft turf and momentum of the airplane and on its left wheel, let the airplane swing 180 degrees. The right wheel went down into a small ditch, tipping the aircraft, hitting the right wing and horizontal stabilizer. Slight damage to the wing and control surfaces prevented further safe flying. There was a 9 KT crosswind from the left, plus, a hangar along the runway on the left side. After passing the last hangar, the crosswind seemed much stronger.

Title: A VERY LOW TIME C-180 PLT GND LOOPED DURING LNDG ROLL.

Narrative: UPON LNDG AND TRANSITION FROM 2-WHEEL TO 3 POINT, THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE R, AND I CORRECTED AND THEN THE AIRPLANE VEERED SHARPLY L. I GAVE FULL R RUDDER, BUT WAS BEHIND THE AIRPLANE AND IT SWUNG OFF THE RWY. THE DRAG OF THE GRASS, SOFT TURF AND MOMENTUM OF THE AIRPLANE AND ON ITS L WHEEL, LET THE AIRPLANE SWING 180 DEGS. THE R WHEEL WENT DOWN INTO A SMALL DITCH, TIPPING THE ACFT, HITTING THE R WING AND HORIZ STABILIZER. SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE WING AND CTL SURFACES PREVENTED FURTHER SAFE FLYING. THERE WAS A 9 KT XWIND FROM THE L, PLUS, A HANGAR ALONG THE RWY ON THE L SIDE. AFTER PASSING THE LAST HANGAR, THE XWIND SEEMED MUCH STRONGER.
