NTSB summary
On July 20, 2007, approximately 1830 central daylight time, a single-engine Hazen Fly Baby homebuilt airplane, N6156Y, was substantially damaged upon collision with heavily wooded and mountainous terrain under unknown circumstances in the Ouachita National Forest near Page, Oklahoma. The private pilot/builder, sole occupant of the airplane, was fatally injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot. No flight plan was filed for the cross-country flight that originated from a private airstrip near Big Cedar, Oklahoma, about 0630, and was destined for Mena, Arkansas. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The airplane was reported missing by concerned family members. A search and rescue alert notice (ALNOT) was issued and the search initiated. The airplane was located approximately one mile south of Oklahoma State Highway 59 on Rich Mountain (elevation 2,950 feet mean sea level) by units of the Oklahoma and Arkansas Civil Air Patrol (CAP) on July 25, 2007. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector performed an on-scene examination on the same day. According to the inspector, the airplane, which was constructed from wood and fabric frame, came to rest at the base of several large pine trees and did not burn. The right wing was pierced by one of these large trees. The initial impact point appeared to be the tops of the trees located directly above the main wreckage, which included the engine, fuselage, both wings, and tail section. All flight control surfaces remained
Probable cause
The airplane's collision with wooded and mountainous terrain for undetermined reasons.
