On December 8, 2003, at 1200 mountain standard time, a Cessna 150H, N6935S, was substantially damaged when it struck two parked airplanes during landing at Skypark Airport (BTF), Bountiful, Utah. The pilot and passenger on board were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91 without a flight plan. The flight originated from Salt Lake City, Utah, at approximately 1145.
The pilot reported that, a non-rated passenger, his wife, was flying the airplane and was attempting to land on runway 34. During the landing, the airplane "bounced twice" before the pilot, also a certified flight instructor, took the controls and applied full power for a go-around. The pilot stated that the airplane bounced a third time, veered to the left, and departed the left side of the runway. The airplane became airborne, crossed over the median between the runway and taxiway, and then touched down on the taxiway. The pilot stated that he attempted to regain control of the airplane, but the airplane continued to roll into the parking area and it struck a Taylorcraft F-21, and a Beech B35. The impact resulted in substantial damage to the Cessna's vertical stabilizer and rudder, substantial damage to the Taylorcraft's empennage and right wing, and substantial damage to the Bonanza's left wing.
The pilot did not provide a Pilot Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB form 6120.1/2) for this accident.
