What happened
During the second banner tow flight of the day, while operating at 800 feet MSL, the engine sputtered and subsequently failed due to fuel exhaustion. In response to the loss of power, the pilot began a descent to perform a forced landing. During this descent, engine power was briefly restored before the engine failed a second time.
The pilot maneuvered the aircraft toward a golf course for landing. While rolling along a fairway, the airplane struck a tree. Following this impact, the aircraft yawed 180 degrees and became airborne, ultimately colliding with another tree at 15 feet AGL.
