I've been watching this Ag Cat do it's job for well over twenty years. Cry

Luckily the pilot not only survived, but was concious and responsive Shocked

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Nice to hear the pilot made it out alive!

Crop Spraying......one of a long list of very dangerous jobs.

I hope that the Pilot recovers completely.

At least the pilot is okay, planes can be replaced, lives can't!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
