I was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop. It would be horrible to make a safe emergency landing and then get a ticket for running a red light.

Amazing piece of flying and driving to miss cars.

I have crop dusters fly low over me sometimes and it can be unnerving. Can't imagine what I would do if I saw an airplane coming down the road at me.
