THE PLT REPORTED THAT WHILE HE WAS ON AN AERIAL APPLICATION FLT, A RAIN STORM SUDDENLY BEGAN & FORCED HIM TO QUICKLY RETURN & LAND. HE REPORTED THAT THE RAIN WAS SO HEAVY THAT HE COULD ONLY SEE STRAIGHT DOWN. HE CONTACTED HIS GROUND CREW & ASKED THEM TO HELP (TALK) HIM DOWN ONTO A ROAD THAT WAS BEING USED AS A LANDING AREA. DURING THE LANDING, THE GROUND CREW SAW A PERSON ON A BICYCLE & TOLD THE PLT TO 'PICK UP.'
