THE ACFT SPUN INTO THE GROUND FROM LOW ALT WHILE HUNTING FOXES. THE ACFT HAD PREVIOUSLY LANDED IN A WHEAT FIELD AND THE OCCUPANTS TALKED WITH A FRIEND ABOUT SEEING FOXES NEARBY. THEY WERE GOING TO FLY AROUND SOME MORE AND HAVE A LOOK. A SHORT TIME LATER THE ACFT TOOK OFF AND WENT NW. A WITNESS SAID THEY WENT ABOUT A HALF MILE NORTH, MADE A CIRCLE 360 DEGREES GOING TO THE LEFT. THEY STARTED TO MAKE ANOTHER WHEN THE ACFT SPUN AND CAME DOWN.
