A bit OT. Back in the early 90s when I was handling county dispatch a
navy A6 midaired with a crop duster near Colfax, Wa. (Actually nearer
to Diamond but that is just a railroad siding). A6 crew ejected, crop
duster crashed. Amazing part was everybody survived although the crop
duster was well broken up and took a lot of rehab.
