Narrative:
A Beechcraft 200 Super King Air sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at Osage Beach Airport, MO (OSB), U.S. The pilot was uninjured.
The airplane made a hard landing on runway 21 at Osage Beach Airport. After hearing a rattling sound the pilot decided to abort the landing and added takeoff power. When the left main gear did not retract, the pilot decided to return to Saint Louis-Spirit of St. Louis Airport, MO (SUS). Upon landing at Saint Louis on runway 26R (3,800 feet by 75 feet, asphalt), the airplane veered off the runway, impacted a visual approach slope indicator, crossed taxiway echo, and stopped short of several T-hangars located on the north ramp.

PROBABLE CAUSE: "The inadequate planning/decision and the exceeded crosswind component by the pilot. The gusts were a contributing factor."
