OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
I used to sit just down the hill from the landing strip near my house as a kid to watch them land and take off. Those pilots were amazing.
Too bad the OP added the silly audio.
I went from believing its real, to being convinced its just a sim (the tower chatter would make sense in a game), to finding out it is real (crop dusters make sense those guys are nuts). What a rollercoaster.
Maybe there should be some group that could control the airplanes, perhaps from a higher vantage point like in a tower... If such a thing existed, I expect people would call it an "air traffic management observation platform".
Is there a pilot here that can tell us if it's "yeah it's totally normal, we do this all the time" or "WTF! these are unconscious pilots who don't know anything" ?
As a pilot, if someone pulled this shit with me, I would circle around, land, change my underwear, then find that sumbitch and have some words. However, if these guys have this planned and are working together, different story. Still really not a good idea to be this close in a critical phase, but hey, who needs to be safe when getting things done faster means more time at the bar?!

A normal day on VATSIM in uncontrolled airspace.
The cartel has to do that to keep up with the American demand…
More like 4 airplanes at a time.
Hola, American demand here!
Top dressing planes spreading fertilizer in New Zealand , these two could see each other the whole time, and I would say well practised.

Exactly the game i was thinking !
Which game is this
Air traffic control
ATC on small airports be like:
Oh dear...

ay bro watch yo jet. WATCH YO JET
He said my bad. It's alright now.
Did he say tootaloo?!
He said "clear to land" but you made it difficult to figure it out because I was thinking tootaloo while listening. lol
Sinking! Pull up! Pull up!
My heart almost stopped beating. how is that possible?
It may be because of your lifestyle and or diet.

These guys are working together spreading fertilizer. They will be in radio contact and know what each other are doing.

Another IRL "Hey, watch yo jet"
Every day in Aspen
Yep…uncontrolled airspace when someone isn’t talking (or listening) on the radio.
I dont think ‘’my bad’’ cuts it…
Air traffic control
This place hasn't seen this much action in ages. Three planes in a week, and guess what? Two of them decided to show up on the same day.
"my bad"
You can absolutely hear the panic in that pilots face, fuckin phenomenal
