According to the pilot, he was performing a fly-over with another airplane when the engine lost power. The pilot was able to restart the engine; however, it lost power shortly thereafter. The pilot performed a forced landing to the west in an open alfalfa field. The airplane impacted several ditches resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. A postimpact fire ensued, destroying the airplane. Due to the fire damage to the engine, the reason for power loss could not be determined.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for reasons undetermined. Contributing to the damage of the airplane were the three ditches and the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
