That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N180JP's record changes.
The pilot of the wheel-ski equipped airplane related that he was attempting to land to the east with a variable wind, gusting from 15 to 35 knots. He elected to do a go-around as he approached touchdown due to a strong gust of wind from the south. During the go-around, the pilot said the airplane's left main landing gear struck a parked and unoccupied truck. The impact knocked the left main landing gear out of the gear box, and when the airplane landed, the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing lift strut. The pilot indicated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.
