He definitely does this often..  

I knew some crop dusters from South Jersey that flew like that guy drives. Going out overweight, checking their mags and fuel selector while rolling, barely clearing the tree line, and getting so close to stuff by inches. But then again they were older guys that flew in Korea and Vietnam. I think they were addicted to the rush

we had a guy on the farm many years ago that sprayed starting with a helicopter, then switched to a biplane

the second time he was there with the plane (around 6 years spraying the fields) he landed near the pump and chemical trailer . jumped out white as a ghost, and screamed why didnt you tell me they put powerlines across the middle of the farm!!!

my dumb 13 year old self explained to hem they have been there for over 30 years....all he had to do was look out the windshield to see them. 

i watched as he made a beeline for one of the towers on one of his passes, and i bet he missed it by less than 15 feet.

i guess he never saw the wires as they were around 75 foot, and he usually sprayed at around 25 foot.

Yeah this was late 80's early 90's so they were using stuff like this Air Tractor 300 seriesimage.jpeg.2a9fb7f9e301c8924308072d5ffccf32.jpeg

Now they have an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate)for them to do a 12 cylinder turbo diesel repower. Supposedly it can burn red fuel
