Dust at night because wind and temp are low and all the idiots are passed out or asleep

Why why why! Dust at night, looks Exreamly dangerous ain't it, the onboard flood lights don't seem to have a great deal of intensity an spread! An there was several instances where the pilot could of flow straight into power lines on this video an low lying obstacles, I know GPS an other significant avionics are a great help during night missions.. an no possibilities of bird strike like that of day light hours.. But honest why dust at the dead of night!!!..😂😦😲😲😞.

balllllllllls of steel

Dang bollwevills

Hey where are you located or what part of canada is this? Im working on my commercial right now and then im going to north battleford for my Agriculture course. Really hope to get started in crop dusting this summer,very nice video!!!

Everything here is irrigated so the work is pretty reliable, We'll have a man on every job there's just too many field workers around even at night. Most of the fields and crops here can be sprayed at night. Thanks for watching!

Nice Video, We also do night work here in Australia. We haven't had a decent night season for the last 5-6 years, but are expecting one this year due to the hotter weather. We use radio activated marking lights as a reference to see the fields. We only mark out what fields are suitable enough for night work, and we only spray cotton at night.

Ive seen them dust at night near needles ca and bullhead city az. First time ive seen it I was like wow dude pulled up to clear powerlines everytime.

The one i fly has 4 but some operations use more, HTH.

Hi, I was wondering if a crop duster at night has 6-8 lights on the front of it???? I saw something weird.

I dont remember, it's been a while since I made this one...

Were you marking an AB line, or performing a clean up run? Nice flyin BTW

amazing !!!

@cnagpilot Im at school now at cal poly. do you flight for boswell or another company?

@MrGundog69 Stop by one day and ask for me......

ya i spend a lot of time out there in the summer driving hay squeeze. I want to become a crop duster pilot too. i am 20 and just finished getting my ppl. what do you think my next step should be?

@MrGundog69 Yes, a lot of the crops around here are flood irrigated with this style pump

this is boswell's right? Looks like it because of the sidewinder pump

@502AT the quick answer is "Yes" you can

@502AT Yes, we usually run a 2 airplane crew.

Another plane flying by at 1:12, in the upper left hand side of the screen is that from your company?

I have heard that you can mark AB lines, then the C line, to map the field into the GPS, But can the field be mapped via ground equipment then loaded into the GPS?

@rockcrawlerkid it's getting better!

Looks like an awesome way to make a living. I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing.

@peterp696 GPS, the lights on the front are flashing because of a framerate issue with the camera, They are normally solid and indicate crosstrack and angle. This was recorded in the central part of California

where's this? How do you know were to spray if there's no landmarks to help out?

@timzim58 GoPro2 1080 @ 30fps

Great vid what kind of camera

I was watching them do this November 15 th 2011 in Wellton, AZ which is east of Yuma. I'm a pilot, but I wouldn't ever do this. That is some flying skill. At night, with 5 lights on the turbo prop aircraft, which I couldn't see...because it's night, was just really cool to watch.

The camera frame rate

Thanks!

-34

WOW what a skilled pilot. Would think there would be enough stress just doing that during the day not to mention at night.

@jherrington79 Most of our summer work is at night here

My father used to do this kind of flights daily because of the constant high wind speed that we have had here in Argentina. But that was on the early 80's with a PA-25 (Piper Pawnee) without gps, or any satloc sistem that we can usually add to crop dusting planes nowadays.

How the hell do you see the power lines? seriouse fly by the ass of your pants thing wow. pretty bad ass man!

Cool video, I like it.

I'm always amazed by ag pilots skills...This is beautiful...Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you fly a good stick C!! Does the thrush have the interconnected flight controls for rudder and aileron movements?

@sonnyg3111 Probably both!

great video! sunset is beautiful.

@flingwing76 We stay under 60' on Fert, Any wider will start to streak in our area. Swath width is usually figured to make even or full passes since most of the fields here are square. Effective swath width usually gets narrower the lighter the material is like seed, Narrower of course when the rate/ac is high as well

AWESOME!!!

@stealhty1 Did you watch this video?

why you not using the bar light??? you not really spraying are you ?? just practicing ??

@grant31781 , That was dry fertilizer, the farmers like the rain to melt it and go into the soil, The night flying visibility is much better than my cheap camera is capable of showing, Some enjoy the night flying, most don't though.

Will the spray stick to the crops in rain? I also saw your night dusting. How do you see where you are going? They don't spray in the rain or at night in Georgia.

That is intense. You have bigger balls than me, for whatever that's worth lol.

@crazyman7000 we've got some pretty good flying here for sure

Dont you wish you could spray fields like those all the time, dont have to worry about no cars, and no powerlines!!!
