Crop Dusters-no the real ones!

[BPTactical]

The two articles lately on the crop dusting planes kinda get to me.
Quit your bitching people, your the ones that bought homes adjacent to agricultural land. The land was used for Ag purposes loooong before you moved your whiney asses in. Did you per chance inquire about crop dusting before you bought the property?
No?
STFU!
If you don't like it you are free to move.
Reminds me of people that move in near an airport then whine about the noise.
Duh!



Rant over.
Good morning

Yeah, kinda like out-of-towners that move to CO and then want to build an In 'N Out in their neighborhood....

(uh-oh, here we go again. Time to get fired up!)

Where are these articles you are refering to?

There was a video of one crop duster that was getting WAY to close to the houses. Other than that the people need to stop bitching if they move next to farm fields.

Shaddap fer Chrissakes Lefty- at your age you should just be thankful you wake up!


Sharpie-you may not have seen them being in the Springs- there was an article last week out of Fort Collins and another yesterday out of Brighton how people living next to agricultural areas are "concerned" for their safety because of aerial crop dusting operations in the Ag land next to them. They feel the pilots are flying in an unsafe manner i.e. too low and too fast, the chemicals are irritating them yada yada yada...............
If I wasn't on the Blackberry I would link it-Ch 7 has it I know for sure.


On a personal note I love watching crop dusters, its a nice throwback to the barnstorming days. Incredibly skilled pilots.

I don't hear the farmers complaining when they sell their land to developers for big bucks as urban sprawl comes their way.

Nothing a HAM radio antenna can't fix.

City folk buying houses in the ag areas is kinda like people building next to an airport. They don't like the noise, the smell, the people. STFU and go away!

Kinda like people who move to the mountains and expect their driveways plowed every morning.

dumb and dumber: "just go man...just go.......ooooh, thats waarrm"!




as to the ag planes, they are awesome. Would be a hell of a fun job, very stressful too. one crack in concentration and you are in power lines!

My grandparents farm in IL gets sprayed when the corn is too tall for the coop sprayers. The guy that runs those planes told me a story once as a kid:

He was spraying fields in the middle of the busy season, engine quit super low and he put the plane in a pasture, it caught a wheel and broke up, he walked away. went to the farmers house, called his insurance agent, got a ride back to his place, got in his other airplane, came back to the same field was finishing spraying when one of his wheels caught a powerline and he crashed again. again he walked away from it, called his insurance agent about that plane and got a ride back to his place.
His wife then took him to the airport where the ag dealer had a new crop duster, bought that one and finished up the day in the new plane.

talk about a hell of a day and balls of steel finishing up after 2 crashes.

I get woke up at least twice a week by crop dusters. I love 'em. We also get dust when the neighbors are landplaning and manure smell when the wind is right.

That's OK, it keeps the city folk in town.
