ReplyDeleteThe only thing I've read about what caused the crash is "suspected propeller trouble".
ReplyDeleteSince most of the local news outlets reported the aircraft type as a "Cessna 150" (for banner towing??), I'd doubt the accuracy of "propeller trouble"!
That pilot is very fortunate, to say the least.

For those that didn't......just as any Evil Black Rifle is an "AK-47" to the newsroom drones, any small, high-winged airplane is a "Cessna 150".
Correct. NFO?
