Feature Article: Buying the Farm

In the `20s' barnstormers would travel the countryside to small cities and set up an "airplane ride" concession from some farmer's field. The pilot was expected to reimburse the farmer for any crop damage that occurred. When a pilot incurred a fatal accident he was deemed to have bought the entire farm.
