perhaps he can convince a judge that it was OK to do that
FW cropduster I knew had a fondness for low flying, well he would, wouldn't he, except he did it when not cropdusting. Allegations were made by a witness to an episode where an aircraft was seen to fly beneath a bridge, so said cropduster was up before the beak. Not I says he, the wingspan of my aircraft is X feet, whereas the gap between the bridge pylons is X-Y feet, so my aircraft couldn't fit. Case dismissed. What was left out of the story was the fact that he side slipped through.
