- Paul O'Carroll, a passionate aviator and an experienced Ag pilot, has flown the Pawnee, AG Truck, Weatherly, AG Cat, AT 301, AT 401, AT 402, AT 502, and AT 802. In 2018 he flew a Thrush for the first time in his career. Here he shares his experience and perspective on the aircraft.
Paul talks about:
Getting comfortable
Crosswind capabilities
Landing ease
Take off differences
Turn stability
Seat arrangement
Visibility
Engine monitoring
The aircraft profile
I call this the Bull Thrush. I started with the 600 hp radial at the age of 18, i am 65 and still enjoy it. The Turbo really completes the flying controls. Its a bicycle in the air.
Now I want one !! 🍺 😎 👍
Let’s make it happen!
Hi Mr .
I love it too.
I love this plain turbo thrush S2R T34 PT6A 750 CV
Parce que el AG Trush es lo máximo de estos tiempos. Mi hermano Hernán se mató el año 1961 fumigando en un Aeronca.
Aeronca?? Para locos. Eso no tiene fuerza.
Sorry to hear you are Canadian....or affiliated with em....ceot the truckers .
Many problems with the GE turbine on Thrushes here in Brazil…a very, very expensive problem with very poor support…
I understand this comment. We are working hard with GE to rectify. The H80 is a very good engine when working.
When they steal your fuel... will you hug the cops?
Why turbine for ag operations? They are usually higher altitude performance.
More efficient and powerful, easier to maintain and longer time between overhauls. Also many of the days they spray in the summer can have really high density altitude, especially here in the Texas panhandle where you're already starting at 3,800ft elevation and add a humid 90° day to that I'm sure you'd prefer a turboprop.
@@adenw.4430 lol I’m sure a Cessna 172 would not cut the mustard.
About the tail height and fly below power lines I THINK that should be more safer and profitible fly higher. Flying so low doesnt increase your work performance just because your swath widht sprayed will be decreased as the height of the ground. Fly so low like this is just fun for those who doesnt know what are doing.
They do that to prevent drift of the chemical.
@@Mr.McWatson sure! But you spray in windy days!? Here in Brasil we have wind speed limits to ensure the job eficience. More than limit, aircraft is grounded specialy to prevent side effects.
During windy days yes, though I'm not sure how windy
@@Mr.McWatson - Under 12-14 knots depending on application and location.
Flying under wires 😨
