Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane impacted the terrain in a right wing low, nose low attitude during an uncontrolled descent approximately 2,000 feet northwest of the pilot's private grass airstrip following a local flight to a nearby airport. Witnesses, in the vicinity of the private grass airstrip, observed the airplane fly straight up, nose down, and turn in a clockwise direction prior to impact. The airplane came to rest at the approximate pattern downwind to base position for the private grass airstrip. During the post-accident examination of the aircraft, no discrepancies were found that would have prevented operation of the airplane prior to the accident.
