Incident Overview
According to the pilot's father, who witnessed the event, an aircraft executed a low pass over a fishing pond so that the front seat pilot could wave at him. The pass was reportedly below the level of the tree tops. In an attempt to pull up sharply to avoid trees, the aircraft was banked steeply and subsequently stalled. The aircraft then struck an unoccupied house before crashing into a tree.
Pilot Information
The front seat pilot is presumed to have been at the controls at the time of the accident. He had accumulated about 2,200 hours of total flight time and a "considerable amount of time" in a PA-18-150, as he was a former Alaska bush pilot. The rear seat pilot was the owner-operator of the aircraft.
Aircraft and Damage
The accident involved a PA-18-150. Following the stall, the aircraft hit an unoccupied house and then a tree, resulting in substantial damage. No further details about the aircraft or the extent of damage are available from the source.
