Banner-tower crashes in USA – May 2014

He used to live in the house but sold it 11 years ago!!

The pawnee’s design as an ag-bird will have done much to protect the pilot.

I did not hear the report originally I only saw the photo on a screen and did not know of its use banner towing.

Same here – my first thought was Rapide. Only after looking several times I realized the fuselage was steel tube.

Thankfully the pilot “stepped out”

Any chance of a slight change to the title of this thread?

Edit: Thanks.

Super Cub or similar, never heard of a banner towing Rapide. Pilot B – – -dy lucky!!

Super Cub, I reckon. Rapide towing a banner seems rather overkill, not to mention expensive.

Probably a piper cub
