The pilot of a Grumman Ag Cat crop duster banks steeply after his first pass of the day, lining up for the second while avoiding the power lines to a lonely and distant farm. There will be many more passes today, and he’s keeping his turns tight to save time and get as much revenue flying done as possible while conditions are still good. On the ground, the air is already warm and it promises to be oppressively hot later on.
