like the L39 from friday in Boulder City..the cockpit area seems to be undamaged to the "untrained eye",but what really happened in there is unknown to me,,the story in this report says a muddy field,another channel locally said it is a "rice paddy" and that he was planting,not dusting...but i ofcourse cant confirm that...but it makes sense to me..the tv gurus here are all making a big deal about why he was "crop dusting a muddy pasture".....i guess thats what they get for not thinking???...

more info..it was a rice paddie..but he was spraying an zinc oxide..witnesses said he was messing with the GPS and was having trouble lining up with the field,,,seems they were using a spotter on the leeve road too...and that he made a "duster turn"..a dahr banking turn,and just flew in to the ground.
