Looks like a cub. probably lost partial power, like popping a can.

All it takes with these banners.

Seen more than one go down and know more than one pilot dying in the banner planes.

I'm sure that there is something to be learned from this tragedy.

Some Pawnees have a cuff on the wing tip that looks square from above. What I can't figure is the witness statement that the banner was dragging. Maybe didn't pull up enough on the pick up?

Pilot was a ramper for SkyWest in SLC.

Company website has his photo up on main page and a thread for employees to comment on...

It IS possible, but that would be less likely than a partial power failure.
