Lost a friend doing this, stalled it in a turn, and couldn’t quite recover it before it hit the ground. I feel I should go fill his spot, but then again, there’s that little voice crying “you’ll make the same mistake”
Very nice video. I have been cropdusting since 1988 and its nice to see a young guy start in this business. Be careful and always fly the airplane. Carl
I flew ag years ago, "round engines, plat maps, automatic flaggers and a pressure gauge" flying is just a small part of the occupation. You better have excellent decision making skills and a stomach for long hot days or you'll burn out quick. It's initially a steep learning curve especially if you don't have great hands and feet or can't fly the wing but over all it"s a repetitive process and it won't be a truly fulfilling career unless you have a genuine interest in agriculture and related topics. :)
Lost a close family member last year. Do remember that complacency kills as said in the previous remark. May want to consider a new career to live a longer life..

this video is really cool, I love seeing the day in the life videos, especially for pilots! you should do a bush pilot one in Africa or Indonesia

Your doing good son. Really good. Focus on the plane. If you love it it will love you.
I remember in the 50's & 60's the venerable Stearman was the ag plane of choice.
Lost my nephew doing this..prayers for you.
What are those things on the engine. Is that spark plugs? And why did you have a spray bottle to spray the inside?
how many hours is required for Ag pilot
Existen dos tipos de pilotos!!!! Los pilotos de Thrush y luego todos los demás!!!!!👍
If you walk by someone and fart it’s called “ crop dusting”... the more you know...
That plane looks insanely claustrophobic
I noticed he was spraying over a water body in the field ?
If you love what your doing then do it.
Basically spray n pray
Nice a plane
He flies a bit high. if he got a little lower he would have to use less chemical.
this guys lazy 8s must be on point.
