Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS LOW ON FUEL AND WAS FLYING OVER THE AIRSTRIP BEFORE LANDING TO DROP A BANNER THAT HE WAS TOWING. SHORTLY AFTER THE BANNER WAS RELEASED, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO GO INTO A STEEP BANK. AT ABOUT THAT TIME, THE ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND ELECTED TO LAND IN A HAY FIELD BESIDE THE RUNWAY. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS FOUND IN THE "BOTH" POSITION, THE LEFT TANK WAS EMPTY, AND THE RIGHT TANK HAD 2 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING. FUEL COULD BE DRAINED FROM THE FUEL FILTER.
