After the jumpers were out of the airplane at FL140, the pilot began his descent to Fentress Airpark. During this maneuver, white smoke began to come out from the cowling of the right engine and the pilot completed an emergency landing in a field. The aircraft swung around facing a southeast direction and struck a tree. After the pilot ran from the accident site, he observed the right engine nacelle engulfed in flames, which then spread to the fuselage.
