## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) BETWEEN LOADS, WHILE MANEUVERING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A 500 FOOT LIGHTED AND CHARTED TRANSMISSION TOWER IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE FIELDS THAT THE AIRMAN WAS WORKING. THE AIRMAN WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND KNOWN TO THE COMMUNITY. THE LEFT WINGS STRUCK THE TOWER APPROXIMATELY FIVE FEET FROM THE TOP ON A SOUTHWEST HEADING AND SHED PIECES OF THE WINGS WHILE IT CONTINUED TO THE IMPACT SITE APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET TO THE SOUTHWEST. THERE WAS NO POST IMPACT FIRE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
