## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 19, 2010, N6607Q, PILOTED BY EDWIN CLARK CRAWFORD, CERTIFICATE NUMBER ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, LOST CONTROL DURING THE TAKE OFF GROUND ROLL. THE PILOT AND AIRCRAFT WERE CONDUCTING AERIAL AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT AND WAS LOADED WITH 236 GALLONS OF INSECTICIDE/WATER MIX.  SKID MARKS BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET FROM THE START OF THE GROUND ROLL EXTEND APPROXIMATELY 250 FEET UNTIL WHERE THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP FACING 180 DEGREES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TAKEOFF. COLLAPSE OF THE LANDING GEAR DURING THE ABORT CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO CONTACT THE GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS CONSUMED BY A POST-ACCIDENT FIRE.
