THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH AN ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE AND BURNED DURING AN EMERGENCY LANDING. THE FLT HAD BEEN IN PROGRESS ONLY AN HOUR WHEN THE PLT LOST HIS ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND HIS ENGINE FAILED. ATC GAVE HIM A HEADING TO THE NEAREST airport BUT HE COULD NOT MAKE IT AND CRASHED ABOUT 7 MILES SHORT. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE FAILED TO REVEAL THE REASON FOR THE MASSIVE OIL LEAK SINCE GASKETS, FLEXIBLE LINES AND ALUMINUM LINES WERE CONSUMED IN THE GROUND FIRE. CAUSE:
