MOONEY M20K
THE ACFT WAS 1 MILE OUT ON THE FINAL APPROACH WHEN THE TOWER ASKED THE PLT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN TO DOWNWIND. THE REQUESTWAS MADE BECAUSE A C-130 FOLLOWING HAD DECLARED AN EMERGENCY FOR LANDING WITNESSES SAW THE MOONEY M-20 ENTER A RIGHT TURN AND DESCEND. THE ACFT STRUCK A POWER POLE AND EXPLODED INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA. POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKED ACFT AND THE PLT SHOWED NO DISCREPANCIES OR FAILURES THAT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT.
