Background
A flight that originated from Mexico City was unable to land at Monterrey, Mexico, due to weather conditions. The pilot continued the flight to the United States. Before reaching the planned alternate airport, the aircraft ran low on fuel, prompting the pilot to make a landing in a field near Eagle Pass, Texas.
Landing and Refueling
After landing, the pilot obtained fuel for the aircraft. The field was wet, so the pilot waited two days for it to dry before attempting a takeoff.
Preparation for Takeoff
Prior to the takeoff attempt, the pilot hired the owner of the field to drag and disk the intended takeoff area.
Attempted Takeoff
During the takeoff attempt, the right main landing gear struck a hole in the field and was damaged.
Aftermath
Following the incident, the pilot left the aircraft in the field and notified the proper authorities.
