Analysis
The pilot used his aircraft to commute to his place of employment at east moline, IL. After work, he prepared a flight to his home in Wyoming, IA. He obtained ATIS weather information which in part was: 900 ft overcast, 4 miles visibility, fog, temperature 59, dewpoint 57, wind from 080 degrees at 7 KTS. After arriving at his home airstrip, he found that it was covered by fog. He diverted to a closed strip in the area. The right wing hit tall corn during the landing while the left wing was only about 10 inches from the corn on its side. Subsequently, the aircraft swerved and crashed.
