As we were traveling along the Natchez Trace we entered a national forest, I can’t remember the name, it was peaceful, quiet and beautiful.\u00a0This serene scene\u00a0was\u00a0shattered by “the\u00a0mad avaitor” as he is now known. This cropduster appeared between the trees at a altitude of around 20 feet and proceeded to buzz all the cars. Dave remembers seeing in the rearview mirror smoke curling off of all the car’s tires that were behind us. Everybody panicked and stomped on the brakes!<\/p>\n

\"John\"<\/p>\n

“Hey John! Your door is open again.”<\/em><\/p>\n
