The pilot completed a second spray run and had initiated a climb when the agricultural airplane's right wing separated. Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground and came to rest against a tree line. Examination of the airplane revealed that the right wing's forward lower attachment fitting separated as a result of fatigue cracking. The fatigue cracking was a result of severe corrosion pitting in the bore of the central lug of the fitting.
Probable Cause: The corrosion and fatigue cracking of the right wing attachment fitting, which resulted in the right wing separating in flight.
