THE PILOT WAS ON A SPRAY FLIGHT OVER AN AREA OF SAND HILLS. WHILE DROPPING FLAGS TO HELP DETERMINE THE WIND ON THE SURFACE, HE ENCOUNTERED UNFAVORABLE WIND CONDITIONS AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF LIFT. HE APPLIED FULL POWER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RECOVER FROM THE MUSHING CONDITION BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND. THE PILOT REPORTED SEVERE TO EXTREME TURBULENCE, A TEMPERATURE OF 85 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, AND BELIEVED THERE WERE DOWNDRAFTS AND UNUSUAL WIND CIRCULATION AMONG THE SAND DUNES.
