I’m guessing he did that as part of his job….crop dusting.
The act of flying under obstacles in itself is not dangerous when properly prepared for and executed. Similar to other acts in aviation such as formation flying. Doing these things in the spur of the moment is what gets people killed. We can come up with half a dozen reasons why Mrs Lunken’s actions endangered herself, others and property.
