"Enkone Goodlow, an artist who rents a hangar at the airport, said he
and some spectators had watched the pilot repeatedly try to hook a Bud
Light banner. The banner was tied to a mastpole on the ground and the
pilot would fly by and try to snare it with a grappling hook dangling
from the plane before pulling up."
"Usually, people get it the
first time if not the second time, but it took [the pilot] seven times,"
Goodlow said. "We thought it was not normal. I wondered what was going
on when after the seventh successful hook, all of a sudden, his plane
nosed to the ground. We ran full blast toward it, thinking we could pull
him out."
