Re: Pilot's desperate last moves
What the heck do they mean by a "topdressing plane" ? Rare jongens die Nieuw-Zeelanders!
Re: Pilot's desperate last moves
Topdressing refers to application of insecticides, fertilizers, etc, etc by low flying aircraft, or as more commonly known " Cropdusting "
There are no strangers in the world, just friends we have yet to meet.
