Narrative:
On may/wed/96 I struck a wire while aerial applying agriculture chemicals. This incident happened while flying east into the rising sun. A temporary blinded glare on the windshield caused misjudgement of clearance of wire. No aircraft or personal damage was caused. Corrective action might be a darker helmet visor to restrict the sun's glare during early morning hours.
