Old news. [italics unsure]We have been using light bars for several years when spraying GMO nanoprobes and Argentinicides.

Before that [3BS is a bit young but]We would walk off where the next pass would be...(or sometimes drive stakes and put plastic jugs on them.

The GPS allows for pilots to fly more effecient "race-tack" and other types of patterns, as opposed to making a 180 degree turn and coming back immediately next to the last pass.

I do acknowledge that the systems are getting fancier.

Of course, [not_italics]we are also beginning to use drones for nanoprobe applications.
