25NM SW SANTA R, MT, USA
N2066J
CESSNA 188
AFTER DISPENSING HIS SECOND LOAD, THE PILOT RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT WHERE HE CIRCLED TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR THE RUNWAY. ABOUT 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE CIRCLE, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE PILOT OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL GAUGES INDICATED EMPTY. HE LANDED ON A ROAD, BUT DURING THE FINAL ROLL-OUT, THE RIGHT WING STRUCK A SIGNPOST. THIS CAUSED THE PLANE TO GO OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, HIT A TELEPHONE POLE.
