On April 27, 1996, at 0900 central daylight time, a Beech A35, N32P, registered to and operated by a private owner, was substantially damaged following a loss of control during landing at Smith Field, Siloam Springs, Arkansas. The private pilot and the two passengers were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91 and no flight plan was filed. The local flight departed at 0800. The pilot reported that, while on approach to runway 18, he "allowed the airspeed to decrease to a point too slow in the 15 to 20 knot, 90 degree crosswind. Upon touchdown, the wind blew the airplane across the runway, folding the gear, and the airplane slid to a stop on the grassy area next to the runway." According to an FAA inspector, both wings sustained structural damage in the landing gear well areas.
