Incident Overview
A pilot engaged in a banner towing operation returned to his home base following a flight. Upon arrival, the pilot experienced difficulty releasing the banner. To address this, the pilot landed the aircraft on the grass strip situated between two runways. While on the ground, the banner was dragged across the surface until it eventually detached. However, the aircraft was then positioned too close to the runway end to safely stop, necessitating a go-around maneuver.
Sequence of Events
During the subsequent traffic pattern, the pilot reported that the aircraft ran out of fuel, resulting in the engine quitting. Unable to reach the runway, the pilot opted for a forced landing into trees located within a residential area. The aircraft subsequently struck the trees.
