Read the full NTSB narrative
Two agricultural application airplanes were operating at low altitude and in proximity to the other. One pilot intended to land at an airstrip, and the other pilot circled a field to scout for obstacles. Both pilots, while focused on their specific tasks, failed to visually identify the other airplane; as a result, the airplanes collided in flight. Both airplanes landed without further incident. One airplane sustained substantial damage and the other sustained minor damage.
