Factual narrative

THE PLT OF THE 2 PLACE ULTRALIGHT, N951AA, & THE PLT OF ANOTHER ULTRALIGHT WERE EN ROUTE FROM TUTTLE TO GOLDSPY, OK. WHILE FLYING LOW OVER A WHEAT FILFED, THE PLT OF THE OTHER ULTRALIGHT INADVERTENTLY FLEW INTO THE CROP. THE PLT OF N951AA WITNESSED THE OCCURRENCE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF THE DOWNED PLT FROM THE AIR. HE ELECTED TO LAND IN THE WHEAT FIELD. WHILE FLARING AT ABOUT 30 MPH, THE MAIN GEAR CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE 4 FT TALL CROP CAUSING THE ACFT TO NOSE DOWN INTO THE FIELD. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT, THE LANDING GEAR & STRUCTURAL TUBING NEAR THE CANARD WERE DAMAGED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
