Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON A FLIGHT TO TAKE PICTURES OF A HOME THAT WAS RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED ON THE SHORE OF LONG ISLAND SOUND. WHILE IN FLIGHT, PICTURES WERE ALSO TAKEN OF BOATS. A WITNESS ON A BOAT STATED TAHT AFTER THE PILOT MADE SEVERAL PASSES OVER BOATS, THE FINAL PASS WAS MADE AT ABOUT 30 FT ABOVE THE WATER. THE WITNESS REPORTED THAT THE PLANE PASSED HIS BOAT AND WENT INTO A STEEP LEFT TURN, WHEN APPARENTLY THE PILOT REALIZED HE WAS IN TROUBLE AND APPLIED FULL POWER. HOWEVER, THE LEFT WING IMPACTED WITH THE WATER AND THE PLANE CRASHED.
