Analysis
Three witnesses observed the acft flying low before it went out of sight behind trees. Two of them reported that the plt made 3 low fly-bys with the eng sounding normal, then they heard the acft impact in a field on the 3rd pass. An exam of the crash site revealed that the acft had impacted in a right wing low attitude & came to rest about 195 ft later. No evidence of a preimpact, mechanical failure or malfunction was found. Automotive fuel was found in the fuel tanks. The plts medical certificate as well as the acft's annual inspection had expired.
