Privately registered Cessna 172B – Ground Loop – Collision with trees

2018-09-30
C-FNHT, a privately registered Cessna 172B aircraft, was en route from Birch Hills, SK (CJD3) to Tisdale, SK (CJY3). Prior to arriving at CJY3, the pilot attempted to land in a pasture, approximately 15 nm North East of the airport.
During the landing roll, a gust of wind caught the right wing tip and the aircraft ground looped. Control could not be regained, the aircraft veered to the left and collided with trees at the end of the pasture.
The pilot was not injured, however the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
