THE FLAGMAN STATED THAT DURING THE SWATH RUN THE ACFT WAS FOLLOWING THE CONTOUR OF THE FIELD. THE FLAGMAN THOUGHT THE PLT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF THE FIELD & WAS ABOUT TO CALL HIM ON THE RADIO WHEN THE ACFT PULLED UP TO ABOUT A 45 DEG NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE. THE LEFT WING THEN STRUCK A TREE. THIS WAS THE PLT'S FIRST AERIAL APPLICATION JOB FOR THE SEASON. THE PLT HAD PRACTICED AERIAL APPLICATION FOR TWO HOURS THE DAY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
