I pay great respect to these brave guys as a farmer in north Waikato as in the rest of the country, they do a bloody good job

[@duncanandrew7228]

Awesome footage. These men would have to rate as some of the best pilots in the world.

[@bobjones3139]

Reminds me of James Aviation, working from Oneriri Rd Kaiwaka, in the 60's

[@ronfrost7160]

Awesome, no crap music or verbage! Just let that amazing aircraft and our spectacular land tell their own story, underscored by the astonishing skills and bravery of the pilot! Bravo!!

I have been in that plane when it wan based in Wanganui and flown by Dick Stevenson.

[@andysaunders3708]

SUCH A MIGHTY PLANE!!! Sounds so good. Is it a flat-eight? Just looked it up, and it is: Lycoming IO-720. Sounds so effing good!

[@Craigo62]

keep it going Murray. .. nice country up your way

[@fletcherlourie5257]

Where’s this airstrip? Northland obviously but where?

[@canofanger]

Amazing - but it seems there aren't a lot of options should the engine fail.

[@jacobkemp1183]

They can jettison the load in 3 seconds if they run into trouble, but the odds of landing in one piece are slim

[@chippytwo7920]

great man no music just raw noise

[@andysaunders3708]

I grew up with these things. They were first launched in the year I was born, and they scared the shit out of me watching the pilots flying. Sound so GOOD.

[@michaeldux1346]

Very cool. Are you the Hardings. ? Went to Westmere school in the 70s. ?

[@ty-qu6qr]

born in new zealand, never seen these planes… but the sound is so incredibly familiar

[@johnr2297]

What is it spraying?

[@davidallen6970]

love it buttop dressing for what? seems random to me.

[@gordongibson7137]

Usually super phosphate or crushed lime or nitrogen pellets straight onto grass (pasture).

[@chippytwo7920]

I'm home sick now

[@sav2236]

Brave man, respect!
