Air tractor AT-400, N2342Z, and another aircraft, a rockwell international S-2R, N8474V, collided while both aircraft were involved in spraying operatons. The AT-400 pilot was spraying a field that was surrounded by trees. He had just completed a swath run to the south where he began a procedure turn back to the north. He began with a left climbing turn, then reversed in a right descending turn. While turning through a northwesterly heading, the aircraft collided with the S-2R that was in a right climbing turn, passing through a southeasterly heading. The S-2R pilot had finished his north and south swath runs in an adjacent field and was making a trim pass from west to east. He was pulling up over trees in a right turn when the collision occurred.

Rockwell international S-2R, N8474V, and another aircraft, an air tractor AT-400, N2342Z, collide while both aircraft were involved in spraying operations. The S-2R pilot had finished spraying a field with north and south swath runs, except for clean-up swaths. At the south end of the field, he made a trim pass from west to east, then pulled up over trees in a right climbing turn. During the right climbing turn on a southeast heading, the aircraft collided with the AT-400 that was in a right descending turn in the opposite direction. The AT-400 pilot was spraying an adjacent field that was surrounded by trees. He had just completed a swath run to the south, and was in the last part of a procedure turn back to the north, when the collision occurred.
