Just plane politeness.

Ty Hiers who was piloting the plane says it started off like any other day of cropdusting and although he didn’t hear any gunshots he did notice something which made him uneasy.”That particular day, that particular field I did see an older gentleman, he came outside and he was holding a cardboard sign and at the altitude I was at and the turn I could not tell what the sign said. But he was acting in a manner that he really didn’t want me in the area.”

After he landed he did a routine check of the aircraft where he noticed a bullet hole in his fan blade and on his wheel strut.

“We got very blessed with where it actually hit. If it had been an inch further or behind it would have missed that strut altogether and would have punctured a fuel tank.”

Brown said the shooting is being investigated as an accident.
