Cessna C188 Agtruck aerial application practice

First year as an Ag pilot is off to a good start! I've been able to get in about 35 hours of practice runs with water and now starting to put out some chemical. This is from the beginning of June while I was practicing with water out of Fisher, MN

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.

[@mrwilliemcallen4111]

Whath for the tail wheel lock is used for?

[@fishertrowbridge]

nice video, starting my first of dry runs soon in a pawnee 235-C

[@valleyagpilot1283]

Good luck and stay safe!

[@matthewhamel7192]

Hows it goin?

[@Chiefliner]

Great tune. Is that a hat tip to Juan Brown/blancolirio? Also, great vids.

[@cellnot]

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

[@excellenceinanimation960]

Is it ag truck or ag wagon?

[@gwiz2073]

I bird hunt in Yuma and watch the crop dusters when I'm out there. I am just finishing my Private Pilot rating and it seems to me a 188 would be a fun airplane to own just to fly around and play with. I know its not that fast but looks like more fun than a 172. What do you think?

[@frontagulus]

Yes you're right, I've often thought that. They're not that expensive initial outlay although engines are not cheap

[@Mr.McWatson]

cool vid- how does one go about becoming an ag pilot? and how do you learn to deal with powerlines?

[@Keys879]

There are also a few Ag flight schools around the country. From South Dakota to Georgia, and Florida. The price of the schools run about $12-$20k if you're already a PPL/Commercial. includes tailwheel and flight time in a variety of Ag aircraft such as the Air Tractor, Ag Cats, and some Cessna variations- all dependent on where you go. Riggin Flight Services(SD), Eagle Vistas(FL), Ag Flight Pilot Training (GA).

Cessna flies better in a turn with flaps

[@msierhaus]

Nice Video,
how much runway do you need a mtow?
thanks

[@valleyagpilot1283]

msierhaus this airstrip was only 2,200 ft which was not long enough for full loads. I only hauled 165 gallons

[@msierhaus]

@@valleyagpilot1283 thanks for your quick reply

[@vmikeb1]

If I wanted music I would listen to the radio.

[@milehiaviation]

You sound fun to be around

[@BenderPY]

Awesome video but unfortunately the music ruins it all, sorry

[@frontagulus]

Would have preferred video without the unnecessary muzak
