Think this was an approved flight plan?

Here's a crop duster doing a low flyover at a Texas high school football game.

Skip to the 0:30 mark for the excitement.

I know the town. It's big industries are agriculture, the oilfield, and a nearby refinery, so I had a pretty good guess what the video would be when it popped up on my phone.

Now I'm not going to pretend to know all the regulations with respect to flyovers and what's allowed for civilian pilots. I know crop dusting can be a hairy business as is. I've spent some time working around them. So for those that know, could this guy be looking at some trouble?

I have no clue about any trouble he could be in, but I know they can fly a LOT lower. I once saw one working some cotton fields. His runs were pretty tight because the fields were hemmed in close by tree lines, but he was still way lower than that.

Dammit guys... Why are you giving the world another reason for them to think we're all a bunch of hick town rednecks?!

For the record, this was probably done by some hick town redneck.

Definitely, but working a field is a little different than flying over a football stadium.

Wonder what he dusted the crowd with... Chemtrails are real, and real low, in small town Texas.
