THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH WIRES SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AS THE PLT MANEUVERED AT LOW ALTITUDE. AFTER THE COLLISION THE ACFT FLEW FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND CRASHED IN AN UNIMPROVED FIELD ON A FARM. THERE WAS NO PASSENGER SEAT IN THE ACFT AND THE PASSENGER WAS UNRESTRAINED DURING THE ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGER STATED THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE PLT WAS FLYING TOWARD OTHER RANCH EMPLOYEES WHO WERE WATCHING FROM THE POINT OF TAKEOFF. DURING THE INVESTIGATION THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE AN AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, A CURRENT MEDICAL CERTIFICATE, OR PROOF OF A BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW.
