Theres a second plane with a camera flying really close to this one

Luckily I used the iMovie app for the trailer but I don’t know how to spruce up the feature with graphics and sound. Thank you.

I’m running out of content to post lol!

This one was a Vietnam veteran with at least one bullet hole in the left tail boom. Two other patches possible holes. At the end of this video it shows the locations and pictures of it in Vietnam. kzbin.info/www/bejne/babNZ4ycfrarjtEsi=EvP66nbPAxws7YvW

@@leedaero I was a tactical radio operator and flight followed and ordered the fighters and ordinance and flew as a spotter when not doing the other. I was also in the 21st TASS out of Cam Rhan Bay airbase on an Army LZ. One that we had and I have flown in is at the Eglin Armament Museum in Ft Walton Beach Florida.. tail # 864

@@larryjayne9451 I flew this one for Texas A&M as a test pilot and we received a letter with photos from the crew chief mechanic for 122. It’s now being flown as a radar test bed at SRC, Inc. in NY.

As I understand it, the early PT-6’s had one row of fuel nozzles. They added a second row of fuel nozzles that spray later which allows for a faster and cooler start. It’s automatic.

Actually PT6-27 surplus from a Navy U-21 King Air. It has a military model number of T74-CP-700.

@@leedaero oh awesome! I was surprised I got a response. I noticed the second stage itt spike was smaller than the first which was different than I’m familiar with.

It was mfg in 1968, has the old style cigarette lighter glow plug rather than the clicker igniter. Maybe that’s why?

That is a digital spray boom pressure gauge. It replaces the old round analog gauge. It goes to zero when I cut off the spray which shows on the monitor as a green swath.

@@leedaero what were you spraying?

@@soflaav8r Water but electrically charged with electro-static spray system.

@@leedaero Interesting, thanks for the reply.

That's AA eagle commuter line I think.

You're a collector's item!

And I was the first 2nd Lt out of UPT to the O-2, at NKP, Nail13, only capts and majors when I got there…166 combat missions in N Viet and Ho Chi Ming trail in Laos….still the best job I ever had…never lost an engine, did as I told it, except very noisy…..yep, loved it.

How much you think it's worth? I'm looking around for one without any engines but is ok for repair back to airworthy condition.

@@michaelsamuel9917 Structurally (as far as I can tell,) it seems in fair condition. It's been sitting outside on concrete for maybe 10-15 years I think? The interior is gutted as far as instruments, so that is a huge hurdle. It has one of two engines, although I don't know the condition of the one inside mine. Assuming the engine isn't functional, I would say the plane could be bought for easily under $8k, and I have seen a 337 with both engines for sale around that price on trade-a-plane (not airworthy of course.) I think its doable, I pay attention to a lot of restoration jobs, and considering a lot of restoration work happens on absolute wrecks, this one is far easier than most!

@@TheCraftedMine Kool bro, I wish you good luck in getting it one day. I myself would love to get the 336 version and make it into a single engine plane and put a modified car V8 engine into it, and just fly away around the world.

@@michaelsamuel9917 that doesn't sound very feasible

Having owned an O2 I would agree with Adrian that that would be a very large project. At the minimum, you would need your own hangar (too big for t-hangar so that's more $$$), airplane jacks, engine hoists, other equipment, plus at least a $150,000-180,000 budget for two engines, props, avionics, and a bunch of parts.

u kidding

I flew on for a while....The Air Flapper

American Airlines commuters in storage.

guitar hillbilly Just plain water. Fuel use was not a concern for a short term research project, profit not necessary lol.

He was also taking off from a controlled airport. No amount of hustle is going to make the tower give you clearance faster.

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Most AG operations are NOT from controlled Airports. I realize this was a research flight just commented on a fact of normal operations in an AG operation which is not making any money on the ground and time is a very valuable commodity in AG Operations for the Operator and the Customer.

@@guitarhillbilly1482 You're talking to an ag pilot/operator, and you're saying things I already understand. He probably would've been in the air a lot faster if he wasn't waiting for the tower, hell, anyone would've been off the ground a lot faster regardless.

Along the left side of the aircraft there are two connections known as Drylok connectors. One is just forward of the pilot and leads to the forward tank, the other a few feet behind the pilot is for fuel. These birds have small fuel tanks and will typically refuel at every turnaround. The plane will pull up and the engine will remain running. Sometimes the pilot might even set the parking break and get out to go bio. The ground crew, maybe as few as just one person, will turn on his pumps and drag the hoses out to the plane. He will connect the forward tank first as it takes the longest and will actually have a bigger connector and hose. Then the fuel is connected. The connectors are called Drylok because they ensure zero liquid release happens on to the ground. The fuel will finish first and be disconnected and the hose dragged away and pump turned off. While waiting for the forward tank to finish the ground crewman might get up on the wing and clean the windshield. Bugs are a thing at low altitudes. When the forward tank is full the Drylok is disconnected and the hose pulled away, pump turned off. The ground crew will signal the pilot that he is clear to leave. All this is accomplished in a few minutes.

when actually working a 402 in ag pilots carry 300 gallon

Happy flying!

Using his phone for forelight, probably using forelight on his ipad as well, pulling up important information on the panel.. We as pilots use everything we possibly can to make flying safer for us.

Pilots multi-task!

Good Catch. Full Hopper and Full Fuel. NO FLAPS??? Most Air Tractor pilots even use some flaps in the turns while working a field especially while the airplane is loaded heavy.

I would agree with you on a short strip but a 8000 ft runway. Its not really needed. But to me it should be muscle memory by now and it gets me interested as to why he chose not to use flaps? Is it because the runway was very long? or did he forget? because he couldn't see his checklist on his tablet because of the sun????

Flaps go down to 10 degrees at 8:27. CIGARRS: controls, instruments, gas, attitude, run-up, radios, secure

@@leedaero a bunch of armchair pilots around here! 🤣🤣🤣

@@donanders2110 especially if they ask " Did he check his mags?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you're an ag pilot then you probably already understand why we all avoid operating out of controlled airports. He wasn't going to spray a field either, but that spectrum box in the bottom right corner should give you a hint as to what he was doing.

Once airborne and trimmed, super safe to text. Don’t text and drive but perfectly safe to text and fly! This is normal. It seemed to be a real beast to get off the ground, even with the turbine. Super heavy

Tools not toys and they worked just fine except for the glare. Read the description, not a typical ag flight.

@@leedaero Hey lee I have been curious about the instrument on the nose why is it always on the outside and so far away mounted on the front of the nose? Just curious not being a smart butt. Enjoyed the video! Could possibly add ATC in the next vid ? Thanks

@@leedaero ok thank you
