I was working in Lubbock, TX on a on a boll weevil eradication program with twelve other airplanes out of our strip, we were all out flying whenever the contract holder came over the radio and told us that we were to all land immediately and whenever we did all of the pilots and ground crews sat glued to the three TV sets in the office for most of the remainder of the day.
Our small airstrip was located within sight of Lubbock Int'l Airport and it seemed so eerie to not see any airplanes except for an occasional military jet flying out of there for the next week.
