RE: CropdusterTom:
He stays away from other aircraft because I can tell him what to do on
the airport. Once he leaves the airport I have no control over him. I
give him about the most remote spot on the airfield. I went out to the
airport around noon yesterday and he, plus his equipment, was gone.
However, you can reach him at Campbell Aviation in Dutton, Montana. I'm
sure they will give you the aircraft ID.

Appreciate that-isn't it odd that he stays away from other planes with
his chemicals but flies right over homes fully loaded with the stuff?

I only work half time as the airport manager and try to rotate mornings
and afternoons during the week. I did not see him this morning when I
was outside, but will try tomorrow afternoon when I go back out to the
airport. I asked Red Eagle to watch for him and get me a tail number if
they happen to be outside when he comes and goes. He is parked well
away from everyone else on the airport because of the chemicals he uses.

I see he's back and up to his usual habit of treetop level over the
neighborhood. Any chance of a tail number this time?
