He was just “high-fiving” the car. Good pilot. I grew up in Ag country, crop dusters routinely went under telephone lines to start their passes. One of the biggest problems they had back then was the children of the seasonal migrant workers “chucking spears” at him when he started the passes.

He would climb out and see a quarter mile of copper wire stretched out and holding him.
