Gender Reveal Stunt Injures Pilot, Damages Plane - AVweb

A pilot was injured, an expensive ag plane was probably written off but the friends and family of an expecting couple know whether to buy blue or pink for the bundle of joy after the latest fail of a gender reveal stunt near Turkey in northern Texas. Local officials say the plan was for the Air Tractor 602 aerial application aircraft to jettison about 350 gallons of water dyed pink to announce the blessed news on Sept. 7. The pilot later told investigators he let the airplane get too slow but that apparently wasn't his only error.

How did they get two folks in there? Was the second one miniaturized somehow? I don’t remember a lot of room in that cockpit.

Well, SOMEBODY had to hold somebody’s beer.

The pilot must have been pregnant…
But I mean, really. Turkey, Texas!

Correction: According to the linked NTSB report, it was the passenger who was injured, not the pilot.
