We received initial word from their club that it was an off field landing
attempt. He was trying to land in an area of small horse pastures
which were cris-crossed with fences. On approach, he apparently
clipped a tree on the edge of the pastures with his right wing. The
impact with the tree flipped him inverted, and it was all over at that
point....

Condolences to his family and friends.
