Welcome to Texas everyone!!!

This is rather minor, but interesting, to say the least…

On September 7, 2019, a Air Tractor AT 602 crashed near Turkey, Texas during a gender reveal stunt…

While this was two months ago, it looks like news sites are just now picking it up.

Key Points:

  • Congratulations, It’s a girl!
  • The plane descended to a low altitude, dumped 350 gallons of pink water, ended up flying too slowly, stalled, and crashed.
  • The pilot was not injured in the crash.
  • The other passenger had minor injuries…

But…
The plane was designed to carry only one person, the report said.

Outstanding move.
