WHILE STILL SEVERAL MILES FROM ADDISON, TX, THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED THE LEADING EDGE OF A THUNDERSTORM. BOTH OCCUPANTS STATED THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED WIND SHEAR. REPORTEDLY, THE WIND SHEAR WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT FORCED THE ACFT DOWN & IT CONTACTED THE GROUND. A FEW MINUTES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE WX AT ADDISON CHANGED FROM 1300 SCATTERED TO 900 FT OBSCURED, VISIBILITY 1 MI. ABOUT 30 MIN LATER, THE WX IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY.
