Pool Buzzing Crop Duster Crashes

Back in mid June I posted a story about a crop duster that buzzed the pool and put on quite a show while spraying a field across the street. Well, I arrive home to read a news story about a plane that crashed on July 29th, and sure enough... it's the same plane. The photo below is one that Deb took when the plane was preforming near misses over our fence and low level passes over the back yard. The video is the news story covering the crash. We compared the tale numbers, they match.

A pilot of a crop-dusting plane was transported to a hospital Tuesday morning after his plane hit some power lines about 6:45 a.m. near Lewis Lane and Riverside Road south of Lake Lowell in rural Canyon County.

Frankie Amen, 44, a pilot with Valley Air Service of Caldwell, clipped a power line on his approach heading south over Lewis Lane. His plane crashed about 100 yards off the road, and the front end caught fire, according to Canyon County Sheriff's deputy Mark Link.

The pilots hot-dogging finally caught up to him - thank goodness he did not get killed.
