What happened
While conducting mosquito abatement operations over a marshy region, the pilot of an unidentified aircraft completed a spray pass and initiated a 180-degree right turn toward the east. During this maneuver, the right wing of the aircraft made contact with a 100-foot radio tower. The tower, which was used for ground communications and located within the perimeter of a correctional facility, was unlit and not indicated on sectional aeronautical charts.
Following the collision, the pilot experienced significant controllability issues but was unable to determine the full extent of the structural damage sustained. Due to the degraded flight characteristics, the pilot opted to perform an emergency landing in a nearby pasture. During the landing sequence, the aircraft struck a bull and a cow, resulting in the deaths of both animals. The aircraft then collided with a stack of wood, causing substantial damage to the airframe.
