THE PLT CLEARED SOME POWER LINES AND DESCENDED TO SPRAY A SUNFLOWER FIELD. THE ACFT DESCENDED UNTIL IT CONTACTED THE FLOWERS WITH THE LANDING GEAR. THE TALL FLOWERS DESTROYED THE LEADING EDGES OF THE ACFT WINGS AND THE LANDING GEAR. THE DRAG SLOWED THE ACFT BUT IT CONTINUED FLT TO AN ADJACENT FIELD WHERE IT LANDED ON THE FUSELAGE.
