It was such a ridiculously nice day out I decided to take a few hours away from my work and go on a local flight. While flying I noticed two bright yellow planes extremely low so decided to slow flight and circle around and watch them. I had never seen crop dusters in action but was impressed with their low flying skills. Decided to snap a few pictures, here's probably the best one (not centered sorry).

Crazy watching him fly under those power lines to hit that field, circle around rinse and repeat.
 
When I was living in Memphis, I frequently flew to many of the smaller outlying airports. Many had crop duster ops and you had to be careful as most all seem to operate NORDO and have a tendency to assume they had a right to the runway over all others and do not fly standard patterns. Fun to watch though.
