Crew not dead, so that's good.

The wing is still on after hitting a telephone pole.

Not bad...

Read an account that it hit the wire going down which may have pulled the pole like that.

Saw one of these parked on the ramp at KSLN last week. My student calls it the "Attack Air Tractor".

Years ago I used to see ads in Trade-a-Plane for a job flying the AT-802U variant with the DEA. It read something like high tailwheel time, must have clearance, comfortable receiving small arms fire, bilingual (Spanish) preferred.

I always laughed and thought that would be a small pool of potential applicants.
