Reminds me of the forester story: There are two chain saw operators who lose limbs. New operators and very experienced operators. The first due to inexperience and the second due to familiarity.

Not a pilot. Two commercial pilot friends both said I'll make a good pilot. Because I'm scared of flying. So this post resonates with me.

Interesting preliminary report. Initially in this thread I could not understand how a high wing aircraft, (taking videos or photos of) a low wing aircraft below it... could possibly end in an in flight collision, considering the two pilots could see each other/aircraft. The prelim report covers that... The high wing was below the low wing and pulled up into it... how the hell did that happen?

Looking at the damage to the bottom of the crop sprayer (behind the gear) and the fact that the pilot seat was outside the airframe... and the tail was cut off... only means there has to be lots of damage to the C182 propeller ... TRAGIC.
