I took my senior pictures in a sunflower field with my daddy flying behind me and everyone thought it was photoshopped because they didn't believe he could get that close to me. But yes, it is a very dangerous job. We've had three crashes (each with different pilots) and one didn't walk away. He survived, and it is a miracle he's alive today but he will never be able to fly again. Thanks for sharing your experience!<br /><br />I do have to say, those chemicals are all handled very safely. Trust me, we wouldn't be able to have hangar cats (plus mice, bugs, salamanders, etc.) if those substances were really that harmful to anything other than what they're intended for. Although, I have gotten some on my skin before while mixing/loading and it can leave a good burn!Halliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110462844779528240noreply@blogger.com
