Analysis
The acft ran into high vegatation during a precautionary landing after the plt heard a vibration which began aprx 2 hrs after the initial takeoff. The vibration was caused by a loose wing fairing. Examination of the acft revealed that a screw stripped out of the wing root fairing which allowed the fairing to turn up 8 inches on top of the wing.
