This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.
NTSB probable cause: failure of the pilot to maintain sufficient altitude/clearance above the terrain, while performing a low altitude maneuver. A factor relating to the accident was the pilot's lack of familiarity with this make and model of aircraft.
