Air Tractor 502xp Full Load Takeoff

This is a takeoff with 460 gallons of water and 220 gallons of fuel. The airplane is a few hundred pounds shy of its gross weight and performs just as advertised. This airport is KEIW in the bootheel of Missouri.

What state do you work in?

[@AT502A]

Love the videos. Can you tell me what helmet you got I'm looking to buy one

[@pcohen85]

Thanks! That helmet is a Gallet 050 and I've installed a Bose A20 headset in it. That is a great combination and I highly recommend it. I would advise against getting a dual visor helmet because you want your helmet to be as light as possible for maximum comfort and it will reduce fatigue as well.

Nice equipment

[@CaptRH]

Did I catch a glimpse of Stan Ferguson's hog plane in there?

[@pcohen85]

Yep! I should have started the video a little sooner because the HOG landed right before I took off. Robert has some cool video of us flying that day and I think its on his KZbin channel.

One question what is the black knob that you pushed foward (far left) thanks.

[@pcohen85]

That was the tailwheel lock. It locks the tailwheel straight and prevents it from swiveling.

Only see what I see. I own 2 AT502B’s and know that’s far from full. Call it what it is!

[@cadyaerial]

[@pcohen85]

Sweetheart, that's as full as you could get that plane.
