Around here it's not the flying low part, it's the dropping in over 80' trees, going very low, then going vertical at the other end of the field to avoid the trees there. First time I saw it I was sure I just witnessed a plane crash, until he shot back up at the other end of the field!
A couple years ago a mesquite spraying plane flew so low over my shop building we thought he was coming in for a landing in the building.Quote:

Yet another process that is changing. I can see the day when a crop duster plane is something of the past and this will all done with drones.
