Circumstances:
After touchdown at Empcampment-A-A Ranch Airport, the pilot-in-command lost control of the airplane that veered off runway to the right. The left main gear then struck the edge of a parking ramp and the airplane came to a halt. All 16 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Improper operation of powerplant and powerplant controls after landing. Asymmetrical thrust reversal caused the airplane to be out of control.
