I'm a pilot for a major airline, an i've flown 747's as captain at a previous employer; In my view, crop-dusters are insane. They get paid NOTHING, yet they are probably the most talented pilots in the industry! The things they do are insane! They execute low altitude aerobatics every day! I'm known as a "good stick" in the industry, which means I naturally know how to fly airplanes. But I don't do the sorts of maneuvers that these people do on a regular basis- hell, I'm used to flaring at 50 feet. But these guys are totally linked with their airplane- they become one with the machine 10 times per day, and I do it two or three times, and even then it is just a takeoff or landing.

That is a VERY dangerous job!
