over a couple pivots under a power line and over a power line. I noticed while I was spraying that when I got high in the turn and close (not in) the clouds the prop would induce a con trail that you can see in the video,

Yes this pilot is 9% brain and 1% crazy
I hope when you’re calculating your load, you take into account the frigin Giant gonads you must be carrying around!
So scary
How do you see power lines?
They must recrute Ag crop dusters from the local looney bin.
You damn well better know where everything and I mean EVERYTHING is if you are going to fly at night...
Good video...🤠
Do you ever get mistaken as a UFO
Do you guys ever get mistaken as a UFO
Дебил не летают ночью на пмв !!!
How many people called 911 bout a UFO in the field. All joking aside, that's got to be a rush. Job well done.
Future statistics…
An incredibly important job someone has to do
Its funny, spraying under wires at night isnt that bad, they stand out.
I give you major kudos for this stunt. Where are the power lines? I'd rather live
我艹!牛逼!!!good job !
Craziest thing I have ever seen. That must be ranked the most dangerous job.
Well at least the terrain is flat, that is the only positive haha.
You're nuts! Lol I don't think i'd ever dust in the dark
That's nuts. Better not be any powerlines. Is it even legal ?
Damn only way I would think about doing that is if it was Kansas under a full moon and there wasn't a wire for miles.
I'm sure you've flown that field many times but you are a f-ing ace my friend. Well done
THAT is some B-B-Big Balls right there. I flew civil for about 14 years- and never in my wildest nightmare would I have thought of trying what you do. Although I never once had an accident, I came damned close a few times- and mostly through no fault of mine. This kind of flying just seems to me to greatly increase those nasty chances. You are Amazing. God bless ya.
When I got back from Nebraska I went looking for a spraying job in California. Stopped off at three different Ag strips where i could easily get a seat if I wanted to fly at night. I asked the same questions at the three different places. Got shown their night equipment, and was told about how safe it was because of all of the lights on the plane. My final question was, what happened to your last guy? Almost word for word the answer was, "Oh well...he got killed." My wife said, you're not flying at night. I replied, hell, you don't have to tell me that twice! I suppose that a guy could get a lot of acreage at night, depending on the crop, and if you remembered exactly where the wires were on any particular field. I don't think my memory could remember all of the obstructions.
I'm glad they were honest enough to tell you what happened to the last guy!

And that's the closest I'll be in a plane
It’s even more fun at night. The wires and towers show up s lot better at night than they do in the day time ....no glare. Did night ag work for over 20 years in areas like this. Only wires I hit occurred in the daytime,
creep creepy crops... and an amazing flight. Would you mind If I used a section of your video for a video I'm making about crops and aliens, it's non commercial video I'm making for a laugh and I'd credit you in the description, but no worries if not, thanks!
oh my God remind me never ride in a plane this is crop dusting high Russian roulette damn
Idiots
You the man! My opinion is night time is for drinking beer and trying to get the odd root in! Fly safe....
Without GPS tracking it would be impossible to do at night. Nicely done. I will go now and change my underpants........
That takes a special kind of crazy. Regular crazy people think they are sane. Then there's cropdusters that fly at night, they know they're fucking nuts!
I rode in a Thrush one night sitting next to the pilot. He was flying a modified Thrush from Serv Aero engineering with a Wright 1820 on the front. It was one wild ride and no one was happier than me. When you're young, 10 feet tall and bullet proof you'll do stuff like that. The Thrush is wide enough in the cockpit and I was a skinny kid then so I could just barely squeeze in there with the pilot. Of course, had we crashed I would've been through crew along with the pilot, but I wouldn't trade that ride for all the treasure on the ocean floor. I spent 9 years working on Air Tractors, AT-301's so my respects to you for providing much needed services. Cheers!
That's the way crazy people act...
I get why....but as a former AF Command Pilot this seems CRAZY! Hat's off to you sir.
No Room for Error flying at 150 mph feet above the ground and under Power Lines and skimming tops of trees....
This has to be Difficult even for the Old Seasoned Pilots???
all i can is this guy has got SAC!!!!!!!
SAC???
Only in large fields that I knew like the back of my hand. It's already dangerous, I just can't see pushing like this in the dark. Yeah if you know a field like the back of your hand I suppose it isn't a big deal. Those lights are super bright.
As far as navigation and accuracy goes, is this done strictly based on light bar and altimeter? I'd also assume this is only done on fields where you've had long experience and complete awareness of surrounding obstacles?

Respect ✊
VERY DANGEROUS!! MY COUSIN DIED THIS WAY!! I DATED 3 FIGHTER JOCKS!! I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM FLY THOSE!!
looks like a duster around me he knows the area and works late but if you spray at night what about tempature enversion
And I used to think doing the Baja at night was scary.
WOW! Take a dangerous job and multiply by 10. My admiration to your skill and courage.
cropdusters have more than a few exemptions regarding flying restrictions and what you can and cant do..but they also have planes built for these manuevers and more skills and qualifications in extreme flying than your average leisure pilot.
This is all well an good until the owner figures out how to make you work under FAR 91 and makes you work 20 hours straight and you're exhausted... Keep safe, and thank you for the food 👍
you gotta be a fucking EXPERT to have such a job!!!!
My father used to work at that... Scary Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks Fun AF tho!!!
On behalf of all the people being woken and at 5am, FUCK YOU.
Ruf Ryder was that a "Fuck you"? I couldn't understand you with your mouth full.
