DeBow said Roetman aimed for a clear spot on the edge of the Rexburg Municipal Golf Course, which sits just east of the airport. "He did some skillful maneuvering to put it down in a safe spot."
Yes, in your dreams. Ir rather looks like the plane, stalled, decided to do a couple more or turns (snap rolls) that the pilot had planned. The pilot barely managed to partially recover from the spin and partially level the wings as it crahsd, let alone aiming at putting it down somewhere in particular.

Note the puff of smoke just before the impact. Sounds like power loss. Kind of like wrestling two greased pigs .... the aero forces and loss of power?
