I was landing and suddenly was hit by a gust of wind which pushed me to the right side. As I aborted the landing some damage occurred to the airplane and parts of the airport. I broke the wheel pant of the airplane and the taxi signs on the ground.
C172 pilot reports losing control during landing due to a wind gust. Damage results to the aircraft and airport signs during the ensuing go around.
