THE PLT WAS POSITIONING THE ACFT FOR SWATH RUNS WHEN IT CRASHED INTO RISING TERRAIN ON THE SIDE OF A HILL NEXT TO A VALLEY. THE PLT HAD PLANNED TO MAKE SWATH RUNS OVER AN ORCHARD IN THE VALLEY. DURING IMPACT, HE RECEIVED SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES & COULD NOT RECALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MISHAP. HOWEVER, HE WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE ACFT BEFORE FIRE HAD SPREAD TO THE COCKPIT. WITNESSES ABOUT 1 MI FROM THE CRASH SITE REPORTED HEARING A STEADY ENGINE SOUND UNTIL THE ACFT IMPACTED. THE ACFT REMAINED INTACT & THE GROUND SCARS SHOWED THAT IT HAD MOVED ABOUT 6 FT FORWARD & 4 FT LEFT AFTER IMPACTING.
