Accident Sequence
The pilot approached the airport from the south and dropped a banner. After the banner release, he flew northbound, reversed course, and set up an approach to land to the south. While on final approach, he recognized that he was too high and initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the right main landing gear became entangled with another banner that was set up for a pickup. The entanglement caused the airplane to nose down, collide with the ground, and come to rest inverted.
Additional Details
The incident involved a banner towing operation. The initial banner drop was completed successfully. The pilot then repositioned the aircraft for a landing attempt. The go-around was prompted by an excessive altitude on final approach. The second banner was positioned on the ground for a pickup and was not in flight. The entanglement resulted in a nose-down attitude and subsequent ground impact.
