The pilot of a recently purchased tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, following two go-arounds and during the landing roll, the airplane veered to the left. The pilot further reported that he attempted to abort the landing but was unsuccessful. The airplane continued and veered off the runway. During the runway excursion, the airplane nosed over.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, fuselage, and empennage.

A small, two-seater, fixed wing, single-engine airplane ended up mangled into a ball when two men were attempting to land at the Eureka Municipal Airport just before noon Friday.
Neither of the men were seriously injured.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, George Douglas, Jr, 69, of Orlando, Florida, and his passenger, Lawrence Stapleton, 55, of Gautier, Mississippi, were attempting to land the Van's RV-6 experimental aircraft when they decided to abort the landing and come around for another attempt. The airplane veered to the left, so Douglas applied the throttle, causing the aircraft to continue pulling farther to the left in an uncontrolled manner.
Just before they hit the ground, the plane maneuvered a vertical pass between a large silo-shaped storage tank and a motorhome, squeezing through with mere feet for clearance. Seconds later, they circled tight and hit the ground, tumbling end-over-end before coming to a stop on the plane's top in the yard of a home near the runway. The two men escaped without serious injuries.
KHP, Greenwood County Sheriff's Officers, Greenwood County Emergency Management, Greenwood County Fire-Central Division and Eureka Lake and Eureka Rescue responded to the accident.
