Read the full NTSB narrative

A witness, located about 1 mile from the accident site, observed the airplane circle the airport from south to north. He then saw it maneuvering at a low altitude between two hangars and heard a loud "pop" followed by the sound of the engine sputtering. The airplane collided with the power lines running alongside the service road next to the airport and impacted the ground. A postimpact fire ensued. The airport’s north-south runway was not level and dipped in several places. The investigation could not determine if either pilot had ever flown into this particular airport. An examination of the airplane's systems revealed no preimpact anomalies.
