An eyewitness, driving a four wheel all terrain vehicle, observed an airplane flying east of his location. The eyewitness was about 1/2 mile northeast of the Greenwood Airport. He recalled that the airplane was descending at an approximate 40 degree nose down attitude. The airplane did a roll maneuver, and descended below the tree tops. The airplane did not reappear above the trees. The airplane wreckage and the pilot were located 1/4 mile northeast of the airport. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident, but the airplane was believed to have been seen flying near the airport on the morning of the accident. An on-scene examination of the accident site disclosed that the airplane impacted the ground on a 170 degree magnetic heading and at about a 60 degree nose down attitude. The wreckage debris was confined to 50 a foot radius. All major aircraft structural components were located, and examined at the accident site.
