Ag Pilot/Crop Duster "Day in the life of" 

literally, nothing is wrong with this video. just perfect.

The soil pollution

Coming from plane much less than tractor

Jesus loves you ❤

Easy country... nearly flat....

My wranglers handle target. Teamwork makes dreams work.

what crops? 💀💀

@@Couchlover47 I said old pair. Before they were made in China globalist garbage.

Holzmann we have the same name

LOL!!!!! Epic!

You take that back! >:O It looks like an Ag Cat Super B, which is an insane amalgamation of biplane tech (high lift, low profile area, and super maneuverable) and a FUCKING turboprop (insane operating parameters for variable prop speed, torque, and flight speed, allowing even more control in such a tight confine)! This thing is a beast at it's job, has incredible control, tight turning radii, crazy low stall speed (thanks to that MASSIVE turbo prop airflow), not to mention UNGODLY short takeoffs! It is one of the last remnants of the romantic Bi-Plane era that truly does it's job well and best. Show it a little respect and it might just look a little prettier than normal :)

@@shanedog007 I guarantee you whoever came up with the idea to bolt that engine on there at least pondered trying to fit a T56 on a Super Cub.

From the side I'd almost call it the Nigel Thornberry

Birdstrike? No more like Deerstrike.

did i that that rabbit??

Oops. I think I just squashed a lady bug. Oh well.

Herr, derr, planes derp.

@@cecilyt006 Electric wires too.

George Hardin Especially when he flew between the tree and a barn.

The rolling slopes remind me of the Teletubbies set.

Yeah.. same thoughts. Flat fields seem like child's play by comparison. This is a whole different ballgame! Awesome video!

Gives a new meaning to the term "spray and pray"

My thoughts exactly!

Indeed! I had to turn up the volume for that part, brilliant work and flying!

Agreed!

😂This comment literally just made my day!

😂😂

Maybe pheasant danger is real.

lol, a small pony! A rabbit might be n danger of bringing him down!

@@BoB4jjjjs Interesting that you made the rabbit comment. You may find this story hard to believe. Back in the 70's when we were flying smaller slower aircraft, the idea was to fly as close to the crop as possible. I remember spraying fungicide on a potato crop (wheels pretty much touching the crop) and ahead of me a rabbit was running down the row as hard as he could go. As I got close, he went from flight to fight, turned and jumped. He actually went over top of the wing! True story.

NOE flying. Nape of Earth. 😁

makes a person somewhat jealous eh?? I know I am anyway...but Its easy to see why ag pilot life insurance would be somewhat expensive....

Yellow leader standing by!

people still using star wars references when the franchise is basically crap now.

nice flying, keep it up!

Mind me asking. How many hours you have in powered aircraft? Is there a career path that can lead to other types of work, as your hours build? Just curious. Very impressive flying :)

Don't forget vapor trails from jets.

Dan Bongino

I'm so jealous of your job

Wrong,,, 100% wrong.

Loess soils. From the German

Thats what I was thinking And the other dude just casually stood there as the plane started drifting towards him :D Professionals at work

I was thinking he exact same thing! Forget about turning on a dime... he turned that plane around on a thumb tack!

After endless hours driving a wide piece of machinery in the field it becomes second nature to know exactly where the edge ends. As my uncle pulled up to take me back to the ranch house I saw a rare look of panic in his face as I swept through a turn and parked about a foot from the fencepost. Just seemed routine to me.

@@BerlinBLR hi I

And it's a tail dragger, so barely any visibility out the front when on the ground

Perfect choice, wasn't it?

Robert Borchert Yes.

I once tried doing both simultaneously. Bad move.

I feel like that's the only option to listen to not even country can compare

barnyard fuck yes I found a AC fan here!

i get ur point but ur comparing apples to pears ,"old" fashiond flying is still a thing its called not flying a military or comercial jet lmao

I used to live in Pullman, WA. I used to watch them dust the wheat fields.

He can dump that load in seconds if something happens.

Yo his wings are traveling the same speed as his fuselage... Ill take that any day over the whirlybirds.

⁠​⁠@@markjordan1765that’s what my ex said about me all the time

Prolly more likely to die of cancer

Excuse me, 3 mistakes, 1st, last, & only !!!

Uhh parachute?? duhh! Like if he was to hit power lines hed just have to deploy the chute and glide right down to the ground :) JK JK I totally agree, its definitely a job filled with ALOT of occupational hazards!

@@TarmanTheChampion some of the guys around us have a vertical blade in front of the prop to cut power lines

@@2009rummell really? Damn i didn't know this! Thats awesome

Cop wCuffs sounds like you had a little inversion going

Yeah, but it got rid of the lice and gave you a nice shiny coat! Hello from a PP in Australia

Glenn Llewellyn And a nice cancer is offered with it in the pack, enjoy!

How much?

@@Francisco-FX 50 cent

That's work in a nutshell

Not always fun

Without the speed one falleth back unto the ground.

+Idan Balas thanks for creating such beautiful sounds.

Wonderful music too. It really captures the feeling of flying along, almost a dance it's so graceful.

It is a beautiful and dreamy piece. Congratulations and a heartfelt salute from Spain.

Idan Balas I was digging the music! It made me want to dust some crops! Decided to just dust some furniture instead. Totally counts!

@@localcrew 😂

Over 1 million to date..

No he hasn’t, there was no one on the ride with him

@@nicholascowan1731 - you missed it. Dummy..

5feetgoaround fullflapsC150 watching RU-vid isn’t riding in a plane

@@nicholascowan1731 come on bro grow up

Patrick Piculell T-16 of course

Come on why do you have to sand bag me

Square circle..killed it!

In 1993, I crashed a Cat after being taken down by a powerline. The airplane went straight into the ground at about 120 mph, ripping the engine off and crushing the nose right to the windshield. The only salvageable parts were the elevators and rudder. Amazingly, I walked (stumbled) away with no broken bones, but incredible bruising inside and out. We used a tractor with grapple forks to load the wreck onto a trailer.

@@finneganfly I about 1973 I was a loader for Baker Flying Service that used Thrush Commanders, they had 2. The employee pilot was taking off trying to finish the job as a severe thunderstorm was approaching. He made it about 100 yards when a very large gust lifted the plane and flipped it over right beside the runway. I was watching him. It seemed like slow motion. I started running to the plane. I made it about half way when the pilot, Bill Neal, got out. I thought he may have died. The plane, upside down, looked so large to me. There was no fire. We strapped on the tail wheel with the loader truck boom. The loader truck was in front of the upside down plane. I started pulling with the cable and flipped the plane right side up. It sounded like a crash when became right side up. Anyway the owner, an A&P, checked the engine, repaired the damaged right wingtip and installed a new prop. The owner, Mr. Baker, was really mad. He didn't tear down the engine because he said it wasn't "under power" when the prop struck. I was just a loader so I didn't point out the prop blades were bent forward. I will say the engine kept performing without any problems. Pratt and Whitney 1340s are pretty good engines. I think.

Mad Dog Seabee Brothers from different mothers lol

Differential braking allows you to do that.

I think that was a chemical pick up, not fuel. Still pretty cool.

@@robertheinkel6225 wouldn't it have gone into the tank on top? I was confused as to what it was because he had just told us he spilled fuel when he got into the plane...

I was wondering if it was fuel or chem myself. The young fella never hooked up a static strap to the plane so I assume he loaded up with chemicals.

The Ponderosa fuel static traps aren’t needed with the connectors if you look closely down and left of where that hose was you can see what looks like a black dot that’s for chems

🤣

ben tackett that’s rough Ben LMAO

That's called crap dusting.

Except you dont drive your truck with 2,000 pounds of poisons at 130 mph.

@@feetgoaroundfullflapsC no just 40,000 pounds of poisons, corrosives, flammables, explosives and/or other hazardous materials at 70mph, but who's counting?

@@NOBODYNOBODY596 - true on that. Truck Driving can be worse if mistake. Respect from this pilot.

Quizzicality nah, i don’t think anyone would compare truck driving to crop dusting. Practically no skill involved to drive a big, slow semi truck. Think someones craving attention 😂

Lmao "I'ts not hard". A 15 meter long truck that drives true small roads and places were people are. Sure takes skill... so shut up you ass

Did not known Ag planes had gender, will have to look into that.

If you think that's mean you should check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7xf-ikdLqrk.html

If you get the chance I’d highly recommend at least taking a discovery flight at a nearby school. They’re generally pretty cheap (relative) and I’m my experience the CFI let me just throw it around and have as much fun as I could (safely) it’s an experience you’d never regret no matter age

Its a fast office with a great view

Bow down to the Dawgs!!! Hopefully there will be an Apple Cup this year.

There is that yellow plane just North of moscow too off the highway, ive had a similar encounter where I got to race him when he was taking off.

Always a joy watching Pete Braun and the like buzzing around

Thanks! we aim to please.

For HG pilots it would kick ass; I have thought about it too. Tons of low level trike experience, plus helicopter, plus Varieze, but still work.

Do a couple of seasons, that’ll get it out of your career path !

@@alistairplank4996 Great advice thanks.

You have my dream job dude.🙂

DAMN! I wonder if he had no choice... His gigantic balls where probably preventing his aircraft from being able to climb fast enough XD

I've heard of someone doing that with an Avro Lancaster ... at night.

Oh yeah ive seen people do that alot around where I live in West Texas but here its flat so probably not as dangerous

popup spraying wont work

It pays about $250. For the pilot

😂😂😂😂 cos the low flybys the warthogs do to take niggas out 😂

I imagine those 30 (or is it 50?) mm shells would be just as effective against aphids.

@@PhilJonesIII they are 30's

😂

lactose intolerant?

🤣

Thanks, Filming is way easier than motivating to edit

Scott Palmer Hey, my Dad was a crop duster in southern Arkansas after wwii. He came in over some power lines and flared out for a run but he lost his stick(mechanical). He crashed and was laid up for about 6 months. A farmer was driving by and saw it and pulled him from the wreckage, saving his life. The plane went up in flames. Dad healed and went on to fly his whole life, but this happened when he was 22 yrs old. I’ve always had a fondness for cropdusting, always thought those were real pilots. Anyway, I enjoy these videos immensely, and on a personal basis. Cheers.
