Narrative:The An-2 plane was involved in crop-spraying operations for the Kolkhoz (collective farm) im. Kalinina at Novotitarovka, located in the Dinskaya district of the Krasnodar region, Russia.
Following a refill with pesticides, the copilot decided to take a ground mechanic for a flight. The captain tried to stop the plan as it taxied away, but failed.
The copilot performed unauthorised manoeuvres at low altitude until the aircraft touched a 7 metres high tree at Novotitarovka. The airplane collided with more trees and a mast of a power-line before it crashed into a house. A fire erupted.
