Jim: There are a few videos on the internet of spray planes in action. A few are from inside or attached to the aircraft. Video is different from what the pilot sees and plans on doing. He 'knows' the moment for action and the person watching video is 'waiting' for action. There is a difference in time between those two. The person watching is normally 'behind' the action.

Some batters don't even see the ball in time to swing the bat but the pitcher knew when he let go of the ball and how fast it was going to be, compared to the batter. It takes a long while for batters to catch up... Great batters and agpilots need fast eyes and quick reflex actions. (yes there is a difference is speed of eyes in seeing. My eye doctor told me mine were fast. Flicker on CRT monitore was always a problem unless I used 70+HZ) Birds/animals of prey normally have faster eyes then the prey they are going to catch and eat.
