My first remembered flight was sitting on the radio next to the (wild & drunk) pilot of one of these amazing planes in Geita, Tanganyika (before it was Tanzania) in 1959. I grew up there, on a remote gold mine. The crop-duster's visits each year, with their Piper Pawnee, were a highlight in our lives. Wonderful men, wonderful machines. Please see my video on youtube - Speak Swahili, Dammit!
Sure looks like Olney Airport to me. I work there also and this looks like they stood on the south west side of Starks Aviation. That didn't look like a maiden voyage to me. Maybe after it left the repair station.
I didn't realize how popular the air tractors were, no wonder they look familar because as a kid I would see those things flying around bay city, tx. They had a little hangar and a small paved strip right next to our subdivision. In the morning they were constantly buzzing in and out of that nano airport. I would constantly watch them taxi, also it amazed me how they were able to avoid the trees and squeeze under the power lines and then land on the tarmac.

Please don't. It's quite the hassle/hazard when people stop right in their path.
