power lines are the bugaboo of small plane pilots. The planes arent massive enough to tear through the wires. I was taking glider lessons years ago and the tow plane was coming in to an airport near Kutztown Pa and it wrapped aroun the wires and flipped around like a yo yo. Nobody died but the plane was a total.
I quit entertaining the thought of ridge flying that day.

Got to wonder about crop dusters and balloonists. I barely have the courage to fly the big commercial planes.

Sounds like a pretty freaky accident, Edgar.
There's enough scary stuff happening on our roads without having to worry about a plane coming down on you.

I worry even more about flying saucers landing on my head. Those suckers got to be hot and spinning.

Only time I worry about flying saucers is when my wife is mad at me.
