Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT'S FATHER REPORTED THAT HE AND HIS SON WERE EN ROUTE IN SEPARATE AIRCRAFT TO APPLY FERTILIZER TO A RICE FIELD. HE NOTICED HIS SON DIVE FROM 500 FT TO ABOUT 100 FT WHERE THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE TOP GROUND WIRES OF A TRANSMISSION LINE. THE PLANE CRASHED IN A FIELD AND BURNED, AND THE PILOT WAS SERIOUSLY BURNED. THE CONTINUITY OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED SINCE THE ALUMINUM TORQUE TUBES WERE BURNED. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE STEEL BELLCRANKS AND ROD ENDS WERE IN PLACE.
