That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N18NH's record changes.
According to the pilot, the wind at the airport was from “082° at 7 knots” based on the automated observation. He entered a right traffic pattern and saw “no change” on the windsock before landing. After landing, the passenger commented that the windsock had changed. About that time, “the right wing came back up” and the airplane “swerved” to the right. The pilot initially added full engine power to go-around; however, he was unable to regain directional control and reduced engine power to idle. The airplane departed the runway and subsequently nosed over. The pilot reported that there were no anomalies which would have precluded normal operation. The vertical stabilizer and rudder sustained substantial damage during the accident.
