Flying Can Be a Drag

Brian Veatch was flying a plane towing a large ad banner when he started to go down. He ditched the banner and crashed into a house in Northglenn, Colo. Veatch jumped out of his plane into the second storey of the house, and called 911. He escaped unharmed, but the plane was a total loss, and the resulting fire caused significant damage to the house. Veatch later realized he had previously owned the house he’d crashed into. He was pulling the ad for Drag ’n’Fly Banners; the banner touted insurance. (MS/KMGH Denver) ...At least he has an “in” with an insurance company.
