Analysis
The plt of the aerial applicator acft said he was pulling out for an intersection departure on rwy 21, when the Cessna on a landing roll, struck him from the rear. The pilot said that possibly the background, haze, and airframe components made the incoming acft difficult to see. The ag acft was not equipped with two-way radio equipment.
During the ldg roll, the student pilot returning from a solo cross country flight, collided with an aerial application acft, that pulled on to the intersection for takeoff. The student plt attempted to communicate with the other acft prior to ldg, but the spray plane had no radio.
