Read the full NTSB narrative
WHEN THE PILOT ARRIVED ON A FLIGHT FROM SUNNYSIDE TO THE CLARK COUNTY AIRPORT, ALL FUEL FACILITIES WERE CLOSED. HE ESTIMATED THAT HE HAD ENOUGH FUEL TO RETURN AND TOOK OFF WITHOUT REFUELING. ABOUT 12 MILES FROM THE SUNNYSIDE AIRPORT, FUEL EXHAUSTION OCCURRED. IT WAS DARK, BUT THE PILOT WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND WAS ABLE TO SELECT A GRAIN FIELD FOR A FORCED LANDING. DURING ROLL-OUT, THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED A DITCH, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR, CONTINUED ANOTHER 100 FT, AND NOSED OVER.
