Garry, in answer to your question, I heard the name Charlie Ballentine, but never met him. The pilot I was referring to was indeed Wendell Trogdon. The spray plane he flew had a larger engine than a regular Piper and obviously had a longer stroke, because it hit a mean lick. We lived about five or six miles apart as "the crow flies". Our house sat on a knoll, surrounded by large oak trees, and a long hollow behind. Wendell would come up that hollow just below tree top level and at the last minute turn to the right to miss the trees.

Kinda strange that he survived his younger days of being a daredevil pilot, went on to a commercial career and then to check out in such a tragic way. I never did hear the results of the investigation as to what may have caused it.
