Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I love 'em too. Once upon a time many years ago back in OK, I was driving down a road and a duster swooped down and started spraying a field right next to me, just inside the fenceline. We were side-by-side for a few hundred feet, it was awesome!
Does anyone else remember running down the street behind the truck that sprayed the fog to kill mosquitoes?
Breathing all the DDT or whatever it was probably explains a lot. But it sure was fun!

When I was a kid we would go back to Plainview NE where my mom grew up for a couple weeks every summer. Always had to go inside about 6pm or so because the "Skeeter truck" was making its rounds!
Remember the drone of it to this day(and the smell).
I was talking to my mom today and we got to talking about the 'dusters.
My moms cousin had been a P38 jockey in WWII. When he got home he flew a crop duster (Stearman Biplane) for a while until he stacked it up.
Seems the phone company was stringing new lines and forgot to tell the company he worked for. He caught a wheel and cartwheeled into a cornfield.
He took up insurance sales after that, he still flew some because I can recall going for rides in a Mooney.
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Ummm....Mooneys. The Corvettes of the light plane industry. Awesome airplanes.

There was a Stearman biplane at the air show this last weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous! I like the crop dusters too. It's a free airshow.
Mars is entirely inhabited by robots.
Or a racetrack. That bugs me even worse. You move in behind a world famous race track that has been around for decades, and complain that it is too loud? Give me a break. And it's not just Americans, this happens all over the world.
Remember when they built houses on the east side of South Sante Fe? Some of the people that bought there sued the railroad because of the noise the trains made.
Score.
You want to be a martyr, I want to make you one.
When I first moved to Colorado I worked in Greeley. The Low Level guys would have dog fights in their AgCats to be first in landing order. They mostly quit when a couple bumped into each other.
They did the spray calibration certification at Greeley sometimes. That was interesting to watch.
