As I was heading into town this morning I saw what looked like a crop duster over town. He's D*** low, I thought.
Got closer in and, yes it was a bright yellow crop duster. Couldn't have been more than 200 feet AGL. Well below the minimum 1000 feet regulation.
During the next few hours I saw him make several passes with a "crop duster turn" at each end. Then I saw a second one over another part of town.
I heard through the grape vine that they were spraying for Gypsy Moths (the bug, not the plane
), also known as Tent Worms. Quite destructive to vegetation, for those of you who have never seen them. There is quite a plague of them in this part of the country.
How many times did they have to bow towards the nearest FAA office to get permission for that?:ermm:
Anyone ever heard of this?
