## Narrative

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

SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, ONE OF THE SPRAY TANKS DETACHED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED INTO THE VINEYARD. THE EVENT OCCURRED WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE TAKEOFF POINT.

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.
