Is it ag truck or ag wagon?

I remember Cessna ag planes in the 1970s. I didn’t know any were still in use.

Great video, thank you for posting. You might want to wear a Nomex Suit and gloves when you are working

That air tractor sounds awesome it go’s for miles sprays awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Wow!!!! You want to own a restaurant, go wash dishes and be a prep cook. Such great advice. Learn the business.

bro niceeee, what did all this cost?

Awesome!!🛩️🌾🌱

Would have preferred video without the unnecessary muzak

Voice over is fine. Why put added pressure on yourself trying to commentate live… Great video.

hi captain look great. Do you know of any fumigation company that can apply, I am an agricultural pilot from Ecuador, I fly the same C 188 aircraft.

Congrats!!

Happy to see the humility. That’s what makes good pilots. I’m thinking of doing this myself. Looks like a blast also looks risky and needing a cautious head on your shoulders. Thanks for posting this. Great vid. 🤙 Mike. KLZU

Great tips, thanks a lot and happy flights !!! Best regards from Uruguay 🇺🇾

Hi, how many loads and acres per hour can you manage with the C188?

On this youtube, I asked an Ag pilot if he gets tired and he declined. Wonder why there are often contrary experiences for the same job.

I had a Pawnee 😍 loved doing back and forth

Thank you for sharing & staying realistic & safe about sleep, Brother! Great stuff!

No requirement to use flaps doing your climbing turns if you fly a THRUSH AIRCRAFT 🤣

Is there any advice to you have for someone who wants to get into the industry?

Did you use flaps in the turns in a 188? If not would you think that it would’ve made a difference

hello sir are you open to share about how much money you earn per year? I am planning on becoming a crop duster but online all the salarys fluctuate. I know its not about the money but I would like to have a better understanding due to how expensive getting licenses and ratings can be. If you arent open about that I completly understand thank you

Well done on your first flights on the turbine, it must be so hard to manage all the new engine parameters as well as flying a machine that handles so differently from what you are used to.

I always wanted to be a crop duster pilot. It seems it wasn’t meant to be. I’ve tried several times to work on my comercial but always something would happen that I couldn’t afford the training and now I have gotten too old. My heart and willingness are still in but unfortunately the years keep passing by. You are blessed to be doing what you love. I loved the first blog as an ag pilot. May God bless you with many years in this profession.

Nice first flight in the 402. A few years back I climbed out of the left seat of a 747 and into the 802 without aid of any instruction. It’s owner tossed me the little key and said “ you can check yourself out”. I could immediately tell that it was a horse of a different color and demanded thoughtful respect from the pilot. I wheel landed it at the start but then started three pointing it which seemed the better of the two. The Airtractor has a long waterline, narrow gear and of course that high aspect ratio wing that demands active directional control. Coordinated turns are a must. Really a lot like the Ag Wagon. I never worked it on a field, but I’ll bet it can do a ton of work in a day. I was an ag pilot following college and loved it. Lots of 15 hr days in rice. I’ve done it between airline jobs throughout my career. I’ve always considered myself an ag pilot first. Good luck. Looks like you’re off to a great start.

I’ve been flying since 1972, next year will be my last year , I would like to add one other tip, never stop asking questions. There are not any stupid questions only stupid mistake nobody knows everything, and if you are to proud to ask something,get out of the airplane you have no business been there

I just finished a 36 year career in aerospace manufacturing both commercial and military. I have built parts for most anything with wings including the space shuttle. I have never flown...

Good job.

Nice comments !!!

yo *stall warning* = good pilot

Great Story and video. And remember to practice 3 point landings . Eliminates any worry about prop strikes. Have fun.

Congratulations!!!!

Wow, deep respect seeing your attitude to learn continuously!

You killed that man you’re the Kyle Rittenhouse of the skies you did well, just always remember that the landing is nothing more than a controlled crash that’s what my dad always taught me, he used to laugh and say everyone you walk away from is a good one… Blue skies brother

I wanted to fly the drama deer so bad it was unbelievable, but I had to get that first flight in the brave out of the way and I did everything of what you’re doing right now… Just relax and breathe and own everything that you do and your mind will change and make it repetitious and you will have good and safe flights almost every time…

Congratulations son many years of flying and always be careful God bless you

Do you think a 42 year old PPL can still work towards an Ag rating and meaningful work? It's been a lifelong dream but someone put me off of it and I listened like a dumbass instead of never giving up

Does he still fly ?

Living my dream bud - enjoy it

Who wants a crop dusted that sounds like a tire going flat

Albeit good advice, 5 of the 6 points are all good pointers for how to behave in this industry as a pilot and how to be a good pilot. The only thing I heard you say that addresses the title topic was if you want an ag seat, go load.

nobody can see your tail number so it doesn't really matter what you say lol. We are our own worst critics...good job even though this was 2 years ago lol

This is so cool

Great video

Are you loaded?

I'm impressed. Crazy job.

that tool for washing bottles is awesome! I wish i had something like that for the golf course!

Good job young man /I sincerely love your attitude of respecting these aircraft.keep this attitude as you advance in career and you'll be ok.i started on ground and advanced into turbines in 1998 and respect every year and flight I do now .great job.....I'm an admirer 👍

Brilliant work

It’s nice to see a young man with a good head on his shoulders. Work hard but know when to stop. My 2 cents. 22 years and a shade under 19,000hrs
