Crop Dusting Raw Uncut load

Hello and thanks for such a great response to my last video. I am in Iowa spraying corn for a few weeks. Vlog on that coming soon. Since many of you asked for a raw un-cut shot to see how it really works (and sounds with no music) I decided to upload this.
This is a continuous shot spraying 75 acres of Garbanzo beans with Fungicide. I am flying a Race Track pattern (Google is your friend) doing 1200' turns
Speed across the field is around 120mph height is about 7' wheels to crop. Plane is a Gruman Ag-Cat with a PT6-34 turbo prop conversion.

Just can't imagine the amount of concentration need to follow terrain like that so closely. Great vid.

[@bbt95762]

wow, that looks like tough flying - constant concentration!

[@KBrogger]

My dad was a commercial airline pilot. He built up his hours in the late fifties, early sixties crop dusting. I think it made him a very hands on pilot. He used to drive co-pilots crazy because he flew the plane. It wasn't just wheels up slap on the auto pilot. He brought to altitude, and took it down. Thanks for the video, it was fun seeing it from this perspective. And next time you guys come through southern Minnesota from Oshkosh, there's a great little grass strip airport nearby, KSYN, I'd be more than happy to cart you guys around to get you to the hotel, food, or whatever.

[@motoys4me]

That’s some intense flying! I’m exhausted from just watching. Thanks for the ride.

[@av8rk9]

The way you must fly ... Now I understand why Dusty Crop-hopper was afraid of heights

[@Brian_Christensen07RC]

Ha ha that’s awesome.

[@pappybo49]

A crop duster pilot checked my brother out in a Stearman. Brother Bud used to tell the story saying on his 1st trip around the pattern he made a standard take-off and began his climb out to pattern altitude. As he climbed through 400 ft Bube (pronounced Boobee) took the stick and yelled through the intercom “Don’t go so high, Bud, I get a nose bleed if you get any higher!)

[@WootTootZoot]

My father-in-law flew crop dusters in southern and central California for years. He was a C-47 pilot during the war and flew the hump over the Himalayas. I loved going flying with him, he had an Aeronca Champ for years then sold it and flew a Stearman 75 the last few years of his life. God damn, he was a great pilot and a great guy. I miss him a lot.

[@crrj]

I'd love to see this with a 360 camera! Thanks for sharing!

[@RandomActsOfMusic1]

Wow I wish I could fly like that. For now, I try to be excited about ground school.

[@jasonpitt4938]

Job well done! Halfway through my 8th season here in Yakima, WA, still amazes me when I climb up into the seat every morning that we get to do this for a living. Keep up the good work and stay focused!

[@wettexan]

Kinda like your own Han Solo shooting across the Eastern Washington plains?

[@winzie5764]

This is my neck of the woods too. We were in the King Air, departing from PSC to the north and saw a yellow crop duster below us. Might have been Scott. It’s cool watching from above but not nearly as cool as this video.

[@sumrica]

Thanks for the video. Looks like work. Bet you don't have any problem falling asleep after a day of that kind of flying.

[@glenns6923]

Just WOW! .thanks for taking us along

[@TCFixerDude]

Very cool - thanks for the ride!

[@mobtek]

best office, best views :) Thanks Scott, was fun to fly along!

[@awpearson]

Great video Scott. Seeing pilots at work & play is awesome

[@bw33511]

That was bad ass! Love the way the plane growls.

[@pappybo49]

Thanks for the ride,Scott.

[@stevet8121]

No houses, trees, or power lines that I noticed. I imagine you enjoyed that part of it.

[@mikeanderson1330]

Great Video Scott!

[@RossLougheed]

Wow! That's awesome. Than you for sharing this.

Another awesome video Scott! Man that was some great footage!! Again...now the two best crop dusting vids I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more!!

You are now a legendary u tuber. Nobody else could attach a go pro to a prop and get that kind of footage.

Wow! For a second I thought this was a preview for a sequel to the Blade Runner Remake. The flying and the sound is awesome!

[@gerritdykgraaf2570]

Hey Scott!! Me again,, you sure took my little advice up a couple notches for sure!! I loved this video of you doing what you like!! P. I. C. in total command!! Thanks for taking us with you once more my aviator friend!! Your flying skills are awesome and getting better every day by every hour in that wonderful bird!!! Peace be with you and your plane!! As always Scott!!; Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,, G -Man

What a cool video!!! You're a stud!!

[@tompinnef6331]

Thank you - another great video showing how 'dusters' do their job. Watched one fly around here in N.W. IL the other day. Be safe and take care. Spin

Boy oh boy glad to see you got a nice safe job. Look for another canyon flying movie with music , take care and be safe.

[@acesprayer]

Awesomeness!!!!

Hello from New Zealand great shot's friend. Reminds me hearing dust crop over our top of the farm house I was staying in. We even used Dc 3 as crop dusters' in around our hills in New Zealand not now.

Nice 👍

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Thought of you this weekend. I was at Coralville lake in Iowa, north of Iowa city, and outside the Marina there is an OLD Piper Cub in Ag-Cat Yellow with floats on it for lake use. Grass growing around it, wish I had taken a picture. Neat video today! That plane and you are One. You're very good at your job! Glad you got your plane back! Safe flying!

[@gasfiltered]

There is a decent sized operator at the Washington airport if you ever wanted to get an up close look at the planes.

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

@@gasfiltered Thank You!!

[@originaldylanbaxter]

Light turbine-powered heavily-loaded craft, flying low on specific flight paths to satisfy a customer -- so fundamentally risky and cool as hell. I promise not to mimic, but I am certainly inspired!

[@Charlie1821]

Saw you also skydive and yuppp we have like 40 mutual friends. What a small community.

[@RelativeWind]

Bad ass scotty

[@johnnyholland8765]

An Ag Cat is a very agile aircraft. You need every bit of it's capability flying the way you do. Never seen so many ups and downs. It is like a roller coaster.

[@philmissy1]

You are a dead set fucking legend. Thank you so much for sharing your day in the life of a crop duster. Because I kid you not this isnt what I thought crop dusting was. You are dead set balls to the wall one fuckup from death at all times and I love it. Thank you.

[@Stringman1950]

I’ll bet it takes some getting used to getting out of the Ag and into the KitFox. Cool Thx for the neat video.

[@ScottPalmerair]

+Stringman1950 it’s always a bit strange when you step from one plane to another after many hours in it.

[@juststeve5542]

You missed a bit ;-) Just kidding, that's some seat of the pants flying right there, you have my total respect. I was in awe at the level of concentration you keep even after seeing the "short" video, after this one I need to go have a lay down!

[@johnfife3062]

Coolest thing since Star Wars Podracing. It'd be great to hear/see more about how your guidance system works.

[@isettech]

Dusting was around a long time before pod racing.

[@winzie5764]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. They were pod racing thousands of years ago. But I’ll bet they got the idea from crop dusters.

[@flyingmaniac3827]

weee haaa , it's so wired to see the ruder true the turn coordination from behind it feel weird but awesome thanks Scott for sharing

[@dannenp3110]

Piece of cake

[@toddshaw2492]

And just like that I want to go be a crop duster now!

[@Maptologist]

The military flies training missions regularly in the canyons around the Palouse. There have been collisions with crop dusters in the past. Several times I've been driving trucks or tractors with nobody around for miles when one of these guys "destroys" me as a practice target. Fly safe!

[@markgroth4380]

I have always been fascinated with spray planes, at 46 yrs old now I feel I could do it safely, back when I was 20 I would have crashed a few times from being reckless.

[@mikepenhall315]

I dream of flying like that. Instead heading to Scotland at 45k ft.

[@Kettletrigger]

Very cool! I'll bet you used to bullseye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

[@fasteddy4929]

I worked for a crop duster for 5 years as an A&P. He hired a new pilot flying ag for the 1st time. After a for weeks he said to me " I have to back up to get my pay check, anything that is this fun you shouldn't be paid to do"

[@Gypples]

Giggity

[@raybrintnall3368]

Fantastic videos. I watch the spray planes on corn driving out of my way at times to get closer. Your runs seem very long compared to quarter section fields, but it could be the perspective. Great work in capturing the reality of this profession. Any way to get a view going forward?

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Dude, is it fun at all or is it just draining because your so focused? Intense look brother, great video and flying!

[@donbryant58]

A very high pucker factor.

[@robertlinke2666]

terain following radar together with some form of connecting autopilot like the military uses for their spec ops stuff would make this a lot safer

[@rodeo11]

robert linke But a lot less fun.

[@UtahsHighlander]

Great video! Well Done. What is your camera+mount? Wonderful steady high quality all the way around. Even the audio is decent considering the level of engine and wind noise.

[@johnblack1675]

Loves aviation, watches you fly insanely close to the ground... Then notices you are a skydiver also lmao.

The first person view is the best, do you have a whole video of that?

Ya missed a spot riiiiight over there.
