Mario the pazzodico crop duster
A point and press picture.
I have seven photos of this lunatic flying low over our house. Six of the photos I took, feature either the front of the plane or just the tail of the plane, as he disappeared over the roof tops. Twice I nearly toppled over the veranda as I stood on tip toes trying to capture him.
Mario was spraying the rice fields, to kill the mosquitoes that breed in the paddy fields. He didn’t do a very good job because they still ate me alive.
I nearly killed my self installing the mosquito netting on the windows, I will up load the post when my hands stop shaking.
P.S I think this is the first post that doesn’t mention Mrs Sensible
This post is for the Weekly photo challenge: fleeting
Englishman in Italy

He has really enjoying himself. He would skim just above the field and at the last moment throw the plane into a hard turn and frantically climb for the sky.

All very North by North West. Beware crop dusters with machine guns! Or, it could just be that he’s attempting to catch a fleeting photo of the enigmatic Mrs. Sensible… The lengths some people will go to in order to reveal a mystery.

Machine guns…. and there was I worried that he was going to knock the tv mast of the top of the house

Great photo! I have huge easyjet planes flying over my house… it doesn’t bother me though… I just look at them wistfully and wish I was on them (hopefully jetting off to Venice and not Ibiza!) 🙂

I love easyjet. Without their cheap flights I wouldn’t be able to fly into the UK to pick up T bags and pickles.
