Open field almost

I was having a wonderful day, mostly cloudy, 78 degrees out, less than 10MPH wind, sun on my back. Been flying off and on for about 3-4 hours with a couple of friends, can't get any better than that. The wind stopped blowing and the sun was starting to go down so I turned the plane lights on and hit the run way with my NEW 81" cessna 4 stroke. Took to the sky and everything looked great.
This was the first time out with my new Cessna and it flew just like I hoped it would and the lights on the plane at sun set were everything I hoped they would be.
Decided to make a low pass over head to watch the plane up close, what a sight, then it happened BANG,CRUNCH,PIECES FALLING ALL AROUND ME. The one thing I forgot to do was look out for the NEW FLAG POLE that was put up 2 days ago.
Well you probably gussed it, I hit the only thing that was over 8 feet tall within 1/2 mile. The plane was a total loss, I hit that pole square on, we are still looking for the pilot I had put in it. It was a good death for the pilot.
