Made it up to the farm for a few days, as I was driving down the road something caught my eye. I apologize for the clarity as everything was working against me, 135 mm was all I had, the mid day sun was bright, a haze was on the field, and I couldn't get close enough. Still watching the pilot brought back memories from another time, when as a boy a family friend dared me into riding in the hopper of his bi wing Gruman Agcat, so I could experience first hand what it was like to be an ag pilot. All I can say is it's the closest I've every had to having a rocket strapped to my butt, and I was super glad to be tied in, as he put the plane through it's paces. He believed that landing gear should have an assortment of foliage on the landing gear or you weren't low enough. This guy must have gotten the same training.
