Yeah, I fly at an airfield, R47 (with the manager's permission of course). Some days they've actually got crop dusters (Turboprop Thrushes) going in and out holding up the launches with their traffic. The problem is that light winds are agreeable to both. I just find out how long they're taking between loads, then have a spotter help me watch for any traffic just before countdown.
