That is neat.
If you ever have the opportunity to watch a crop dusting plane in action do take advantage of it. Those guys are completely, certifiablely mad.
The only worse pilots I have ever encountered were US Army helicopter pilots in Vietnam. I once sat in the back seat of a Huey with the sun making a circle in one open door on one side and the spot where we were landing making a circle in the opposite, OPEN door. And I could not find the seat belt. I think my fingerprints are still in the bottom of the metal tube at the front edge of that seat. And that performance was repeated seven or eight times in a flight of less than 100 miles. Never hitch a ride on the mail chopper in a combat zone.
