- This is my first somewhat tricked out video. My friends and I made this video for all CropDus' 's to enjoy. As well as ag aviation fans, future ag pilots and just for good entertainment. For more information about ag flying services, check out www.craftairservices.com There are lots of info about the benefits of ag spraying and check out the planes that are for sale. Now that the plugs are done. please enjoy this video. I hope to make another one in next few months. I think it is fun to watch and it sure was great fun to make. ENJOY!!!

Great Video!! Nice to see an old 301 still out there getting it done. I work at Air Tractor and love my job. We are building 2 401s this half. I love the sound of that 1340. Thanks for the great video again.
AMEN BROTHER! I am glad I got to know as long as I did. I am sure he's in Cropdus' heaven flying some 5 mile long rows on 2 gallon work with a 500 gallon Thrush. Jonny was the best....Jonny was my best good friend....Jonny was The CropDus' --- Missing ya SuperHero!!
I appreciate the flowers, glad you enjoyed it. We plan on putting another video together sometime over the summer. ENJOY!!
Can't imagine crop dusting is an easy life. But, from the outside looking in it looks like you guys are suckin' every last drop of fun out of it. Rock on and keep posting!!! PS music's just fine but let the planes have their say too...
Thats how you kill the weeds and bugs - up close and personal!! Glad you enjoyed it, hope to get another one up this spring.
Oh yeah almost forgot we had an air tractor fly into the Vernal UT FBO he ran up to the parking spot and backed her in !! frign awesome loud as hell
Thanks for the compliments. Gearing up for another video real soon.
Glad you liked the video. We hoping to make another one this spring sometime so stay tuned.
Thanks for the compliments, hopefully to have another video soon.
Johnny Wilson, you left us too soon. Somehow, those of us you left behind have to find comfort in knowing you were exactly where you wanted to be that day...doing what you loved doing. Godspeed.
I appreciate the flowers, I'm glad you enjoyed it...please pass it around to cropdus' fans. Thanx again.
@hondadrift ...Thanks for watching the video and for your questions.....no, the planes arent really rated for inverted flight. But as long as you can maintain positive g's, you could probably do an interesting maneuver or two. The "light bar" mounted out in front of the windshield is linked to the GPS guidance and helps the pilot line up for the next pass. Not all ag planes have a cramped back seat in them, Thrush planes have a nice back seat!! LOL Not all ag planes have a back seat.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to make another soon this year, stay tuned.
Being an old (not bold....thats why I'm old) crop duster, I wanted to hear the old ones run. Hope I didn't piss you off too much. Good luck in your upcoming ventures!
c
I saw that done once with a Cessna Caravan. Real cool!
awsome vid great tunes
dam i thought dustin was hard work
you guys are havin way too much FUN
My dad works their... it is very hard work.. they only have funs on their breaks and most of them are friends
Great Video ! thanks for all your time making the video
We'll look out for the power lines, you just make sure that chute opens up!! ;) Thanks for your service to the country. Thanks for watching and pass it around. Thanks
@FlyinTruckr kewl deal..Jim Craft sr died a while back, and we kept the airfield going for a couple of years, till it got to costly to run. we had Pawnee 235's and a couple of first time ag pilots ran out of fuel and crashed the planes..one was in a school yard in the middle of Farmville. now we are now starting a aero club at the old place. maybe yall can drop by when it's done.
the vid is awesome, tnx 4 sharing
Gracias!
@hearsejr , thanks for checking out the video, the guy who owns this flying service is a whole different Craft. Craig Craft is from MS and now lives here in NC. He is of no relations to the Crafts you asked about. However, Craig knows these people, I do not, and had nice things to say.
Holy crap! Tail wheel got pretty close there eh? Nice flyin gentlemen.
Pretty sure that was my dad flying that one XD some say he is a dangerous flyer sometimes
hey mate im going to be a crop duster as soon as i build enough hours!! thats my goal~
There are just as many wide open blocks of land as small jib cuts of land. The owner of Craft Air Services is a big ole fan of Thrushes as I am of Kenworth trucks
;) Its a burden we must bare!! Glad you enjoyed it!! ;)
I used to work for Jim Craft of Craft air in Farmville NC (Craft field W-38 I think) in the 90's. we used Pawnee 235's. I've never heard of Craig Craft. Did they buy the name after Jim died and Rodney and Bob closed the door? Heath sold his intrest to Bob after he got po'ed at a pilot wh kept messing with his mind stuff like flying left of the runway with heath yelling turn right, we are on the other side.
O no a spray plane people are running for the phone to call law!
I'm suprised judging from the field sizes (small) and the tress/obstacles it seems like a good fit for an Agcat.
@flyboyzach07 ...Thanks for the flowers...good luck down in GA and be safe. We are in the beginning stages of making a new video, takes some time though, stay tuned!!
We don't have an AgCats in the area. At this field there are 3 Thrushes and 1 AirTractor.

@destin325 ...Glad you like the video!! Stay tuned for another this summer.
sorry to hear about johnny. knew about the crash for somtime now , just getting to say sorry .He will be missed. What we do for a living may seem fun but things like that cloud up the fun and 12 to 14 hours a day 7 days a week is tough on the butt. I would not trade it for anything.
@FlyinTruckr thanks! yeah i didn't catch the end of the video but i see it now.
3:00 ouch
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!! And always remember - NO USER FEES!! Thanks for watching and pass it around. ;)
Im a farmer and hire dusters a few dozen times a year but ive always wondered, are the planes rated for inverted flight? Is the HUD light setup your next pass indicator? Do all the ag planes have a cramped back seat in them? Anything a farmer can do to make your job easier? Thanks for keeping the crops healthy!
I've always wondered why does the side of the cockpit on crop sisters say "RESTRICTED"?
@TheWingflyer I can understand what you mean. Thank you for checking out the video. I hope to have one made this summer in HD. I hope you have safe skies and great flying.
you guys got big balls!
If you want to help the pilot, try not to wait until the last minute for a spray job, have your maps readily available. Thanks for growing your crops and using ag pilots, Im sure they/us appreciate your business and confidence.
We are spraying row crops, wheat, corn, etc....safe to be close? -- well we have changed out some onboard plumbing and filmed while pressure checking new equipment with water. Thanks for the question and stay tuned, we are planning another video sometime over the summer. ENJOY!!
That was not any of these airplanes, but another operator. Sorry about the electric lines, but there was probably $20,000 or more damage to the airplane - you are the lucky one . Thanks for watching.
@erniegannsmate ...glad you like the video, I just posted another video up a few days ago. Have a good one.
buen video¡¡
Does anybody know who the artist on the first song is? It's a cover of buck owens' made in japan.. right?
donde estan de base? yo soy crop duster in mexico
Well then its good that I have several other shorter videos with lots of engine/airplane noise. Engine noise rules, but this was a different kind of video. Thanks for watching, pass it around and fly safe.
Thanks for the nice compliments. The GPS makes accurate application so much easier than just "winging it." The flying service covers alot of eastern NC, VA, Eastern Shore of VA and MD, as well as some work in the mid-west in IN, OH, ILL,and Iowa. Jonny was a helluva guy and a great friend who is dearly missed. Thanks for watching and have a good one.
@hateliberals1 , too bad you don't like the music, but lucky for you, there are lots of other flying videos to check out.
@jdeerefarmer3 Yea, thats the name of the song, but this version is sung by The Kentucky HeadHunters. Check out the credits at the end of video. Thanks for watching and keep an eye for something new up here. Catch you later.
I think I noticed a USCG flight helmet in that turbine! lol
best video still out there, keep the props turning
@capnchip Sorry you don't like the music, I have a few other flying videos with no music. I am planning on another video in next couple of months, but there will probably be music as it will be an edited, finished product. I am planning on putting out short non-music clips.
Yes Sir This is Old school fer sure.
good to see some good flying with a bit of "professional" fun.
I dont know what it is...but aviators are a breed all their own.
I appreciate the flowers (compliments). We all have a good time and think Ag flying is awesome. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for upcoming videos.
Nos. estamos fumigator de aerolpane in Hertford, Carolina de Norte, Estatos Unitos. Gracias por su atencion y por favor, pase este video alrededor.
Where are some AgCats...
@capnchip No Im was never pissed. Just hope you enjoy the next upcoming videos. I have a couple of clips Im goig to post in the next few days.
Yea crop dusting is a pretty cool thing and I enjoy making videos about it. If you are interested, I have been told you need several hundred hours of tailwheel time, commercial license, high horseppwer and turbine checkouts...etc. probably the best thing to check is a couple of ag flying schools in Louisiana and Georgia. Good luck! !
I've sent you an e-mail. Glad you like the video. Stop by sometime.
If I had to fly a monoplane for ag it would be a Thrush. However, I will take my turbine Cat over any other ag plane any day.
know anyone with some round engined tractors or cats that'd give someone a start in the industry? I have 500 hours of tailwheel
@FlyinTruckr Just drop us a line here on UA-cam
Sorry, I meant to say "Crop Dusters". (Damn auto spellcheck).
I want to be an ag pilot but I only have like 250 hours in a little taildrager that I built.. and only a recreational license. I know that there are a couple schools but do you know any opperators that would work with a hard working wisconsin farm boy? I do really nice fabric work too.. have done 5 planes, but no a&p license cause I don't want anything to do with jets or aluminum.
Since you posted a year ago you probably a crop duster by now but if not, since you can build your own planes can you just build a spray plane and do mock runs over a field spraying water to train yourself then go into business yourself doing seeding only as to not get the chemical certifications? After all spray plane is just a bigger tail dragger with a bigger engine. Just wondering. Im interested in getting into it and some of the schools give just about 30 hours of flight training,
42trini yea and get in a lot of trouble for flying below certain altitudes and too close to structures. Restricted is on side of the plane for a reason. And everyone knows how to handle 300 gallons of water in an airplane. Idiot.
Great video! What's being sprayed, by the way? is it safe to be so close to it?
My dad happens to work their, and I would like to say that it is dangerous to have it sprayed or to let it get on you
It’s chemicals that kill bugs, sorry I’m 9 years late
Dont' let Obama see you guys having so much fun,,,I'm sure he'd figure out a way to make you redistribute all of that fun.
@bigbull2000 Yea Johnny was a super cool guy, and he is missed. He lived and breathed ag flying, thats was no doubt. I know its work when there is flying going on. Its like alot of other things, its a big ole pile of fun at first, but after a while, its work and its can be tough. Be safe out there and I should have another video up in a few weeks. Thanks for watching, catch you later.
6:45 Damn....... Damn......... All I can say about that!

Get Rid of the music
Next time please consider the idea of only the sounds of the aircraft. The music detracts from the experience.
I don't think he got the memo: Don't play music over the sound of a round engine. ;)
nice video...too bad they ruined it with that crappy music put in there. The real music comes from the planes!!!!
