Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A TELEPHONE WIRE AND CRASHED. THE PLT ADMITTED HE HAD BEEN FLYING OVER A BOY SCOUT RANCH AT 7500 FT MSL (ABOUT 500 FT AGL). HE COULD NOT RECALL ANY OTHER DETAILS. ONE WITNESS SAID HE SAW THE ACFT CROSS IN FRONT OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK AT ABOUT 100 FT AGL AND IT APPEARED TO HIM THAT THE PLT 'WIG-WAGGED HIS WINGS'.
