Two Air Tractor AT-602 agricultural application airplanes (N119KP and N312FB) were operating at low altitude and in proximity to the other. One pilot intended to land at an airstrip, and the other pilot circled a field to scout for obstacles. Both pilots, while focused on their specific tasks, failed to visually identify the other airplane; as a result, the airplanes collided in flight. Both airplanes landed without further incident. N119KP sustained substantial damage and the other (N312FB) sustained minor damage.
Probable Cause: The failure of both pilots to see and avoid the other airplane.
