Narrative:
Winds reported by AWOS were 170 degrees at 8 mph. I was instructed to land on runway 34. There were more than 20 airplanes in the pattern and I felt pressured to land along with other planes. The landing resulted in a ground loop with minor damage to the aircraft. I believe that we should have been using runway 16.
