Narrative:

Made VMC descent into tgu. WX cavu wind calm gross weight 151,000 vref 131; 40 degree flaps, packs off. Approach to runway 01 was normal speed vref plus 10 on VASI, from base to final T/D at 1000'. Landing was firm and aircraft bounced at apex of bounce. Ground spoilers deployed, aircraft hit runway hard striking tail skid and #3 VHF antenna. Advanced power aircraft hit again and executed a go around. Aircraft was uncontrollable during the second and third bounce only course of action was to go around. Returned for landing which was normal. On second landing I did not arm the ground spoilers for obvious reasons. There were no reports of injuries to either passenger or crew. The takeoff gross weights in the cockpit were out of date however we had a second up to date copy. Supplemental information from acn 88915. Found tailskid to have been compressed and dragged and #3 VHF antenna to have been damaged. Called tech service dispatch and D.O. Remainder of flight cnx.
