Analysis
The ag plt was returning for his 3rd load. He said that after a wheel landing, he pulled back on the stick to lower the tailwheel & the acft ballooned back into the air. The plt said that he applied power to go around, but the acft settled & he lost directional control. The acft then veered off the side of the airstrip & nosed over in soft, sandy terrain.
