Ag Plane Air Tractor AT400 crop duster and wind turbines in Iowa

[@robstanton9215]

Modern old school warbirds is what they remind me of. The crop dusters I watched as a little boy on the farm are who got me interested in aviation. I never get tired of seeing a skilled pilot at work!! Thanks for sharing Mr. Johnsen!!

[@airailimages]

You are always welcome! Yes, the turbine agplanes and the SEAT firefighting air tankers that developed from them have an old-school feel about them. Impressive to watch good pilots in action.

This reminded me of watching the Cropdusters many years ago as a kid when the landed on the gravel road in front of the house to reload. Thanks for the memory.

You are always welcome!

Nice scenery, nice low lighting that allows us to see the spray pattern. It also show how dangerous this type of flying is and the skills of the pilot

[@airailimages]

This was a fortunate catch at just the right time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Maru is going crazy if Dusty®️ overstresses his gearbox again! Going back to base and recovery may take a long time, perhaps he'll learn this time.

2:39 What is that little fan/turbine under the body for?

[@airailimages]

Probably to power a pump to pressurize the spray system.

Monsanto ? Hey, just throwing it out there & I do like them planes & their ballsy in control Pilots.

[@ccthepope]

Wow !

[@steventoby3768]

This pilot is doing all the things my instructors told me never to attempt. He's getting away with it. Don Quixote would be pleased.

[@672egalaxie6]

lol!!

[@88SC]

You can see why Ag pilots do well taking to racing around pylons.

[@Joebidensonlyterm]

Like watchin paint dry

[@airailimages]

Wow! They must have some really exciting painters where you are, to match this. ;-)

Riesgosa la profesión de piloto fumigador.

[@brianbassett4379]

This profession can be done and is being done better by drones. They are faster and cheaper, provide better coverage and data documentation, and use multiple collectors to manage field watering requirements. There is no flight insurance, large aircraft hangers, airplane maintenance, or pilot error. I'm surprised people still pay double and triple to dust their fields. They won't be for much longer.
