THIS FLT HAD BEEN DELAYED SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO POOR WEATHER IN THE AREA. ON THE DAY OF THE FLT THE PLT WAITED UNTIL THE LOCAL AREA FOG HAD DISSIPATED BEFORE DEPARTING THE PRIVATE AIR STRIP. THE ACFT WAS HEARD ABOVE THE CLOUDS ABOUT FIVE MILES FROM THE CRASH SITE. WITNESSES AT THE CRASH SITE ALSO REPORTED HEARING THE AIRCRAFT CIRCLING OVERHEAD. ONLY ONE OF THEM GOT A GLIMPSE OF IT JUST ABOVE THE TOPS OF THE TREES. CLOUDS WERE AT TREE TOP HEIGHT IN THE AREA. THE ACFT WAS IN ITS THIRD CIRCLE WHEN IT STRUCK THE GROUND AND A FENCE.
