Crashed.
There was one serious injury. The accident occurred at the Chino Airport (CNO) Chino, CA, United States while on appoach. The damage was substantial. During a visual approach, as the airplane was turned onto the base leg, the engine stagnated as the pilot attempted to add power. Unable to increase engine power, the pilot force landed in an open farm field. Just before touchdown, he ejected from the airplane. He was seriously injured when seat-man separation was not achieved...
