## Narrative

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

PILOT AND AIRCRAFT HAD WORKED ALL MORNING IN AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS.  AT APPROX 1 PM WINDS WERE 90 DEGREES TO HIS EAST/WEST STRIP AT ABOUT 20 KNOTS.  OPERATIONS WAS SUSPENDED.  AT APPROX 5:30 PM THE WINDS HAD DIED DOWN ENOUGH TO RESUME OPERATIONS.  THERE WAS A THUNDERSTORM APPROX 5 MILES SOUTH OF HIS STRIP, HOWEVER HE WAS GOING TO WORK NORTH WHICH WAS CLEAR.  AIRCRAFT HAD 2800 LBS OF FERTILIZER AND ONE QUARTER TANK OF FUEL WHEN HE ATTEMPTED A WEST DEPARTURE.  AT TWO-THIRDS OF HIS RUNWAY HE REALIZED HE HAD A WIND SHEAR WHEN THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED DOWN, SO HE APPLIED FULL POWER AND IMPACTED HIS LEFT MAIN GEAR AND TAILWHEEL INTO A BERM AT THE END OF HIS STRIP CAUSING THE LEFT MAIN AND TAIL WHEEL TO SEPERATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT.  THE PILOT CONTINUED TO CIRCLE HIS FIELD UNTIL A FIRE TRUCK AND RESCUE SQUAD COULD ARRIVE AND HE PROCEEDED TO MAKE A ONE WHEEL LANDING THE AIRCRAFT IN A RICE FIELD ADJACENT TO HIS STRIP.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT.  THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE.
