At the time of our visit to Air Tractor, they had a mask mandate in place. They were accepting of our plans to visit, but asked that we wear face masks while in the factory. As visitors into their factory, we, without hesitation, followed their very simple request. Were we unsure of how the audio would turn out throughout the video because of masks? Absolutely. We found, upon editing, that what in fact interfered most with the audio of the video was that we were touring a factory during operating hours. This meant employees were actively working and there were a lot of loud sounds. We would not change this for a second, because doing a factory tour when no one is working would be very boring. With the few audio qualms that we encountered, we decided it would be a good idea to offer closed captioning on this video. We spent 6 HOURS writing captioning. If your only takeaway from this video is the fact that we were wearing masks throughout our tour, that is on you. You missed the mark big time.

This is an informative, well produced, well-edited video that takes us inside someplace we'd never get the chance to see (or even know exists!). The anti-mask mafia are obsessed with one thing and aren't interested in learning anything, so the importance or production quality of the video itself would be lost on them anyway. The 22 people who commented on it--in comparison with the 75,000 people who watched this and 212 who commented on other things shouldn't even be looked at like you'd look at crap on the bottom of your shoe.

@Nobody else but me Yes, mafia. Triggered by the sight of a piece of cloth that calls people morons and flips out when they themselves are the morons. It's not even worth the time trying to explain it to you but try this: Goto example.com, hold your phone out in front of you and say the pledge of allegiance. See that? Those little rainbows on the screen are the spittle that comes flying out of your mouth when you talk. Now put a mask on properly and do the same thing. If there is still spittle on your phone, I will give personally give you $100.

I toured the Air Tractor factory in 1991 while working as a student worker at Texas A&M. We were headed to the panhandle to do Aerial Applicator spray pattern testing and detoured to Olney for the tour on the way to the panhandle. It was great to see how the place has grown and advanced in 30 years.

I'm since retired, but watching these vids show me how much has changed and what has remained the same. I congratulate you on the e-coat prime system (eliminating the hex chrome) and the further development of the rotisserie systems to help employees stay safe. Bravo to the best little airplane plant in Texas!

Cally, that was an excellent tour and Jeff was the "Tour Guide" to make it a most informative day. I retired after about 25 years in electronic production so Jeff's descriptions were very interesting. I was an ISO 9001 inspector for many years. ISO 9001 is a system that documents and works with production manufacturing to ensure that the processes are documented and adhered to in production. The way Jeff described your tour through the factory shows how well they work with that kind of process. Your audio presentation was just fine... don't even worry about it! Noises on a production floor are part of the environment. I barely noticed them. Thanks for an excellent presentation.

I have been an aerospace machinist and fabricator for 36 years working for Boeing , Lucas Varity , and now finishing my career with Parker Hannifin Aerospace. I would love to have worked on the ag side instead of commercial military stuff. The Thrush aircraft are built about 100 miles from my home here in Ga. Air tractors are sleek swift and powerful aircraft that have changed air agriculture over the years. The Pratt Whitney engines are works of art in themselves. The 802 is my favorite. The big 5 blade prop reminds me of the P51 Mustang aircraft. It is big fast and can carry a big payload. Love to see them fly. Thanks for the tour...

I work for XeVision, we make upgrade owner replacement lighting for the Air Tractor products. Our HID and LED lighting solutions for the cowl lights, underwing retractable lights and the turn lights. Our new LED replacement lights are 2.5 to 3X brighter (Candela /Lux /Lumens) than ANY competitors lights, currently on the world wide market. Our LED lamp outputs don't dim after extended use from getting hot (ours don't get hot). Also, our exclusive strobe effect, greatly more attention getting than basic wigwag or pulsing. Our website will be updated shortly to include this new disruptive LED technology, a great benefit for nighttime spray ops. and for firefighting ops. as well. Great to see this factory in full operation.

Former Boeing Everett... very impressive manufacturing processes. Obviously a 747 is a bit larger than what is built in this factory, but in some regards those aircraft are even more complicated. Old School space frame structure very light and very strong. Built a few NASCAR race cars over the years and tubing for roll cage and structure is very detailed to cut and fit. Saw automated tubing cutting with perfect 'birds eye' every time. 22 hour Takt Time per manufacturing station helps control build times. I was part of Boeing Lean Manufacturing and we pushed Takt Time faster and faster. Start to finish 4 1/2 weeks for a complete aircraft is impressive. After I left Boeing, I moved to a smaller city. Just down the street, we have an aircraft manufacturing plant that produces the Super Cub. They don't compete in same market as does Air Tractor. We do have lots of agriculture here and crop dusters are a common sight. Both fixed wing and helicopters are used extensively here. Thanks for the tour... aviation aficionado

He and his best friend passed in '89 in a Vultee. Both in their 60s. He was trying to get his friend checked out in the Vultee. Doing low altitude lazy eights and the friend had a heart attack.
