He said: "He was doing his routine, and it looked like he was coming straight down right down behind the tower out in the field.

"Everybody saying he's got to pull out, got to pull out, and he just landed dead.

"It appeared he went out in the woods, there was no smoke, didn't see a fire, anything like that.

"People just kind of looked around, what's going on, and the guy over here's announcing: 'I think he's ok. I think he landed somewhere.'

"Nothing, he never pulled out of it."

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are conducting an investigation into the incident.
