THE AGRICULTURAL PILOT WAS ALIGNING THE AIRCRAFT TO BEGIN A SWATH RUN WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. HE NOTED A LOSS OF MANIFOLD AND OIL PRESSURE AS WELL AS BLACK SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. HE TURNED AWAY FROM THE FIELD AND COLLIDED WITH TREES RATHER THAN TAKE THE CHANCE OF HITTING PERSONNEL IN THE FIELD.
