ONE AFTER ANOTHER--THE ENDLESS AIRCRAFT TRAVEL ABOVE MY APARTMENT--REALIZED A FALSE ALARM
I WAS RESTING IN BED WITH A MENDING KNEE REPLACEMENT WHEN MY STEREO WAS DROWNED OUT BY LOW-FLYING AIRCRAFT.. I THEN TURNED OFF MY RADIO AND CALLED MY SISTER IF SHE HEARD OF PLANS PASSING HER WAY AT HER HOME. SHE SAID NO AND I SAID THERE ARE DOZENS OF LOW-FLYING MILITARY AIRCRAFT PASSING OVERHEAD AT MY COMPLEX.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT THEY WERE MILITARY FLYING-BY EXERCISES, BUT SO MANY? IT WAS ZOOM AFTER ZOOM WITH A LITTLE RUMPLE AS IT REPEATEDLY MADE ITS ROUNDS. AFTERE ABOUT 1/2 HOURS TIME WHEN I DECIDED THERE ARE NO MILITARY EXERCISES WITH ENDLESS PLANES.

AND THEN ALL AT ONCE--IT STRUCK ME THAT IT WAS A LOUD SMALL ENGINE CROP DUSTER PLANE. IT WAS MAKING ITS ROUNDS OVER THE OPEN FARM FIELDS. YES, WE WERE ALL ON HIGH ALERT FOR THE FARMER IN HIS PLANE OVERSEEING FERTILIZING BELOW. I WAS NEVER SO RELIEVED THAT I REALIZED WE WEREN'T GOING TO WAS WITH A BIG FLEET OF PLANES FLYING LOW NEAR ME.

IT WAS A BATTERY OF ZOOM AFTER ZOOM THAT CROSSED OVER MY APARTMENT COMPLEX NEAR THE FARMLANDS. AND, THE ONLY ALERT REALLY IS THAT IT'S SPRINGTIME AND THE FARMERS ARE FIRTALIZING THEIR PIECES OF LAND. YES, IT IS HIGH ALERT THAT IT IS SPRINGTIME IN A FUNNY BUT ALARMING AT-FIRST WAY.

YES, THOSE CROP DUSTER PLANES FLY SO LOW AND CAN BE ALARMING WITH THEIR BIG 'ZOOMS' AT FIRST. NOW THAT MAKES SENSE. MYSTERY SOLVED.
