I live about 6 miles straight east of an airstrip where crop dusters fly in and out. They often fly over me en route to the fields they spray. They were getting pretty reckless about buzzing my place. Have a 140 foot radio tower adjacent to my barn. No reason they needed to fly directly over my buildings, sometimes at heights lower than the top of the tower. They were in-transit, and not servicing the fields when this was happening.
