Analysis
The Bellanca was maneuvering and had hooked up with a banner, when control was lost and it impacted the ground. Witnesses said the aircraft was at full power when it went into a nose high attitude and stalled to the right. After impact with the ground the aircraft burst into flames. Witnesses stated that the aircraft seemed to be slower than usual as the banner was picked up. The operator reported that the banner was at the maximum weight/length for this operation.
