Circa 1970
Description
The view in this photograph is looking down upon a small plane as it dusts (sprays) an orchard. Dispensed spray is visible the length of the orchard. The small plane is in the midst of gaining altitude at the end of its pass over the orchard. The pilot will cease spraying, bank into a turn, then line up for another pass across the orchard, flying just above the treetops.
