THE RATED COMMERCIAL PLT WAS ON A SOLO INSTRUCTIONAL FLT WHILE IN TRAINING FOR AERIAL APPLICATION. HE STATED THAT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, HE HAD VISUALLY CHECKED THE FUEL LOAD & THOUGHT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT FUEL FOR THE FLT. HE TOOK OFF, SPRAYED A LOAD OF WATER, THEN RETURNED TO RELOAD & TOOK OFF AGAIN. WHEN HE PULLED UP FROM THE 4TH SWATH RUN, THE ENG LOST POWER FROM FUEL EXHAUSTION. DURING A FORCED LANDING, THE ACFT STRUCK A 'CONCRETE DITCH.'
