Cuban Pest Control
This very old biplane occasionally flew over our hotel in Varadero, Cuba at dusk, spraying to keep down the mosquitos and insects. I managed to get this close shot, from the highest available place in the hotel, at sunset as it appeared over the hotel roof and made it's last pass, just starting to release the spray. The picture I have posted in the first comment below is of the same plane as it flew away over the other hotels with the spray on full release. Because of the new Flickr lay out, I have now made it viewable to all and you can see it next to this one on my stream. Thanks to 'SBA73' who has identified it as an 'Antonov AN-2 Soviet Aircraft' which is/was widely used as a parachute platform and for crop dusting. See more pics and details of this plane on his photostream.
