Pretty sure I saw the same pilot/aircraft working a few miles west of Worley while riding my motorcycle from Spokane to Pullman via the Palouse Bypass road last week. He was fueling/loading at a roadside facility served by a very short “runway” consisting of the facility’s parking lot and a few hundred feet of mowed but otherwise unimproved field adjacent to the road. A few seconds later he zoomed overhead at about 150 ft AGL and proceeded to make a number of passes over a nearby field linked by beautiful, low altitude wingovers. Stick and rudder flying at its best!
