ON THE RETURN FLIGHT THE AIRCRAFT LOST POWER AND LANDED IN A STUBBLE CORN FIELD NEAR THE TOWN OF LOCHBUIE, CO.

INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT ON SCENE INDICATED THE LEFT TANK WAS FULL OF FUEL AND THE RIGHT TANK HAD VISIBLE FUEL.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
