The pilot reportedly lost directional control of the aircraft, a Cessna 195, while taking off from Mongollon Air Park - AZ82, Overgaard, Arizona and intentionally ground-looped the aircraft to avoid a hangar causing the landing gear to collapse and a fuel tank rupture. A subsequent fire consumed the aircraft.
All the passengers escaped the wreck uninjured.
