    This GPS???
    That like what me and my brother used? A 10' lumber stick (or cut beanpole) with a white diaper stapled to the top.

    Each end of the field, Daddy make a pass and we move over so many fence post and he aim the way back. We kept moving and he kept driving. Do a field in no time.... Remove diaper back at the house & keep tomato stakes or bean poles for the garden.

    Would work in putting "Sody" on oats; with a Cyclone Seeder, when too wet to use a tractor and distributor. Same flagging, Daddy cranked...
    Amazingly accurate too.....

    I flagged for crop dusters real similar in my youth. You hadda peel out though once they got lined up on ya. One pilot in particular flew for Dunkin flying service Chief was all I ever heard him called he would come under the high line wires most places. I was warned every time I left the house not to get in that AgCat with him under no circumstances. I do remember he was an ex military pilot of some sort but those details are gone now.

    Another bunch Moon was their name had an old Huey. When he flew over you and turned the pilot would look at you and you best run them 20 steps cause he was on top of you in a flash. That old stam would burn a little. Urea would too if you was jumping the wing that day pushing the hopper down.

    that a Teejet model? Guy I helped a little about 10 years ago had a Teejet matrix if my memory serves me correctly, was a little difficult to use I thought. I have a Raven in my one tractor, and it does decent, but struggles on wierd shaped fields

    Crop dusting is one of those jobs that, well, let's just say it takes a certain kind of person to do it.
