Accident & incident history

1996-06-14 Accident · Oracle, AZ Damage: Destroyed Minor injury NTSB · LAX96LA230
Reported aircraft: Ayres S2R — a different aircraft that carried the N4006K registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's improper decision to turn toward rising terrain, without releasing or jettisoning the load of fire retardant, while maneuvering at slow airspeed, which resulted in a stall/mush and collision with the terrain. Factors relating to the accident were: the proximity of rising terrain, and high density altitude.
