KEEP AN EYE ON THE WINGS OF THAT THRUSH . FAMILY FRIEND WAS FLYING ONE IN ARKANSAS AND WHILE COMING UP OUT OF THE FIELD AND IN A TURN FOR THE NEXT PASS THE WING CAME OFF. YOU KNOW THE REST OF THIS STORY. MY DAD AS A CROP DUSTER GOT HIM IN TO THE DUSTING. I LOVE IT AND BEEN AROUND IT MOST MY LIFE . WE FLEW IN ARKANSAS AND MISSISSIPPI DELTA FOR YEARS . SOME AS WELL IN OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS AS WELL AS TEXAS . BE SAFE YOU ALL. GLAD I FOUND THIS I WATCH ALL THE TIME .

[@AgAviationAdventures]

It has new wing spars. Regardless, they have to be inspected on a regular schedule. Thanks for the comment! Glad you’re here.

Nice cross country!!! Cool as a cucumber.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

how cool was that! and with a fly-by! 👍

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks! The fly-by was so so cool.

[@BWTIII]

Good to see you back on your charnel; Watching your awesome adventures is so much fun!!!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Ahh thanks! Thanks for being here.

[@jessebrewington9283]

That is so cool you are giving Kali a real world mission for her long cross country solo to pick up the Thrush. You guys are living the dream!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks for watching!!

[@DaleEllis-p6g]

You should add aftermarket shoulder harnesses to that PA-28. The reason I bring it up is there was an accident with fatalities near my home last summer and both front seat occupants were killed from brunt force impact to their heads. It was an old aircraft that was not fitted with shoulder harnesses. They are available as aftermarket STC. Had the shoulder harnesses been installed and used, they would have survived.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

We don’t own it so we won’t be adding anything. Hopefully we can get our own GA plane soon!

[@paleemperor4089]

Great Videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thank you!

[@_FNQ]

Wow, you really captured the cool factor of cross country flight in this episode. It's always such a great achievement to plan out a flight like this, then fly the plan. Loved it. Great job Cally!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Hey thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jhaedtler]

Love it! Thanks for sharing! Great to see the Boss flying! Proud of you both!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Haha!! Thanks for watching!

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Thanks for posting, enjoy following along! Cally you did great, that is a long x/c for your amount of hours! And.....5 hours in the air in a Cherokee, didn't realize it carried that much fuel? Anyway, keep it up!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks for watching!! It ended up being about 4.5 on the way down and 4.25 on the way back if I remember correctly. Landed with plenty of reserve fuel!

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Great to see you guys again

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks!!

[@robstanton9215]

Dang it!! I meant to watch this sooner!!! Man that was sooooo cool you being able to film Cally in the air like that when you passed her! I have really enjoyed watching y’all’s journey these past couple of years!! I love how in sync you two are with each other. We’re all proud of Cally but I don’t think we can come close to how proud you are of her Tyson! You were beaming watching her land. For what it’s worth, Love you guys!!!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks so much for all of your support, Rob. Your comments are always a joy to read! Appreciate you being here and always cheering for us.

I just watched your video and was smiling the entire time. I’m so happy for the both of you, to share your love of flying and incorporate that with your business, you are two lucky people. Continued success you two.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@martyb3783]

Wow great job! I am sure you were nervous. Well done and great video!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

I was nervous! Thanks for watching!

[@allenmward3804]

Great job

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks!

[@allenmward3804]

Many times a 3-4 hr plane flight can take days 🤦🏻

[@lechstryzewski9350]

So cool you guys. Great job Cally !!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching.

[@oneninerniner3427]

Crookston huh? Mixing it up with UND Areo were you, over in my neck of the woods, Ha! They are all over the area whenever it's fairly decent flying weather.

[@oneninerniner3427]

Did you guys have a decent season I hope? You musta came to Crookston to get sprayer parts or something from Mike? I help work sugar beet harvest for his son in law.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Haha! Yes, there is a bit of traffic up there! It was blowing pretty hard when we were there so we didn't see too many folks. We actually were seeing Lowell, he's the mechanic at the Crookston Airport.

[@justinblach]

Very nice!!! I’ve been to KAKO many times. Randy does my annuals and maintenance. We used to stop there for gas before our airport got a self service gas setup. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Awesome!

[@kirk189]

Cool video👍🏻 my Father in Law was the sprayer in Lisbon for a long time till he sold to Wilbur Ellis

[@AgAviationAdventures]

That's awesome. Thanks for watching!

WHERE YOU ALL LOCATED. WE USE TO FLY IN HELENA AND ELAINE WAS WONDERING

[@AgAviationAdventures]

South central North Dakota

[@macnelson5934]

Where have you been

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Sorry it’s been busy.

[@NeloReis71]

congrats. question, whats with the top exterior of the cherokee? condensation?

[@AgAviationAdventures]

What do you mean?

[@MultiTurbospeed]

It's the type of fabric that's on the roof exterior. That's not condensation

[@NeloReis71]

​@@AgAviationAdventures lots of bumpy bubbles on the roof exterior, from the video could not not discern, if its water, (0.20) no big deal just dumb curiosity. flu a bunch in 80S ayres 2r radial engine, and slanted wing tips, no pt6 for me. congrats you guys rock

[@vancebelchamber1951]

Why a Thrush from the Air tractor

[@MultiTurbospeed]

Leland Snow made thrush then sold the company and quickly formed air tractor. Both planes came from the Olney Texas plant which is like 5 hrs from me. 100 thrush planes where built in Texas before the buy out.

[@robertbutsch1802]

The business they bought came with two Thrushes.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

We bought a business and it came with two Thrush. It was a package deal!

[@erichetherington9899]

Nice hat! likes here :)

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Thanks!!

[@joedaviss9448]

May I ask what a typical annual inspection cost for your thrush? Also where do you take it for annual inspection/repairs and how do you find them?

[@AgAviationAdventures]

It really is so variable because it depends what is due on the aircraft/engine. Could vary from $20,000-$200,000. We know several mechanics relatively close to us just because we were in MN for the last 12 years. Tyson is also an A&P and the guy we bought the biz from is an IA and helps when we need it.

[@ronnieandpatriciamackinnon4958]

I meant to ask this a few days ago,when I first watched ur vid,,,very entertaining by the way!!,, and read ur comments so if this question is redundant I apologize... But,, how come u couldn't pull the throttle back on the thrush and tag along with ur wife's Cherokee?? Fuel burn lollygaging like that be more? Or u just don't wanna!!?? Lol

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Haha! Why go slow when you can go fast ;) It's really not comfortable to sit in for long periods of time so we'll go with that as the main reason. You can't just sit back and relax, you have to be on the heavy controls constantly.

[@ronnieandpatriciamackinnon4958]

@AgAviationAdventures lol! Sure heavy!!

[@MultiTurbospeed]

White planes are very hard to spot especially little passenger ones. Now if it was yellow then you could definitely see it.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Absolutely.

[@MultiTurbospeed]

​@@AgAviationAdventuresI miss ag air planes especially spraying at night or in bed and they buzz over the house best 7am wake up call.

[@AgAviationAdventures]

@@MultiTurbospeedI wish everyone felt that way! 😊

[@scotttucker9339]

I’m thinking 2 thrush aircraft and 2 pilots

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Yeah it doesn't work for us right now but maybe someday ( we have 2 thrush just not 2 pilots).

[@scotttucker9339]

@@AgAviationAdventures I hope you two don’t think I was serious, I’m no pilot but I’m sure it takes a lot of seat time. I hope y’all do well with this new adventure. Meaning marriage and business

[@Josh-cz8wb]

Bud you should marry that gal. 😉

[@AgAviationAdventures]

Working on it, we're engaged!
