Air Tractor 602 - The sight and sounds of the big 602 in action, low and fast. 

In the late 60's, early 70's we used to get areal applicators to spray our row crops for us when it was too wet for ground equipment. Back in those days before GPS we had to "flag" for the pilots, one man with a red flag on each end of the field, after the plane passed over the flag man would step off so many steps toward the unsprayed side of the crop so the pilot could line up for the next pass, what a thrill that was to see that 500 hp radial engine powered aircraft coming straight at me at 90 mph. I LOVED flagging for those guys.

Cool! I fly a 602 here in TX, never get to see it fly.....what a quiet powerful machine!

I helped a friend do spraying with his Hiller G when I was in collage. I know it's a lot of hard work, and it can be monotonous, but holy cow, what I ride! I love the AG Wagons. John

They used to go right over my house, spraying a potato field across the road from us, when I was a kid. I loved it, scared the poop out of my mother LOL.

My father is Lourens Kritzinger...he flew NZW for the last few years of his career...GREAT video,gave me goosebumps!

Poetry in motion!

My Grandfather had an old rotary Duster in the 70s it was slow this aircraft could cover twice the area in a day wow i love it

That is tight to land. Great skill.

9:23 Hold your breath dude! lol

love the air-tractor and the noise they make coming over me

What is causing the occasional smoke from the PT6 exhausts? ingesting something without a doubt haha!

I THOUGHT I could see a tire tread pattern on the last ear of corn I ate... 🤔

Ongelooflik goed dit is ons land se beste pilots

Imagine an ex AG pilot flying an A-10 in combat like that, under the radar and sneaking up on the enemy. Pretty dang cool.

ooh man i wish ours around here were this quiet they have some wicked lloud freaking radial engine on em and i was sleeping out in my tent under a tree and i woke up to the thing buzzing just overhead it was so loud that i thought i was on the flightt line at EAA!

Looks like fun, but you best not lose concentration even for a second. Fun to watch, real skill.

EU NÃO SEI ESCREVER O TRABALHO DE VOCÊS PILOTOS DA AGRICULTURA MAIS SEI ESCREVER PARABÉNS MENINOS E MENINAS VOCÊS SÃO SHOW 👏

Kon net in SA gewees het.. Daai voëltjie klanke.. Mooi gedoen.

Jesus he’s spraying the entire county

They could improve the whole ag flying scene by burying some power lines etc.

Avião é barulhento, manobras legal. Parabéns piloto.

Este avion es so 👌

I suppose a heavy duty plane like that might be safer if a pilot kissed the ground.

as awesome as this is, there is still nothing like the sound of round over a field !!

6:04 RIP butterfly someyear-Jun 6, 2015 lol

przyjemne z pozytecznym

What's the overall hourly operating costs including depreciation for a 602?

Why did it burp smoke from exgaust just wondering

where is this?

One time a spray plane kept flying over at Apache wye Oklahoma My nephew ran outside and pulled his pants down and " mooned" him.! 😂😅

Precioso un general espectacular

Daai ou ken sy storie

What is being sprayed on the wheat?

how do i get this job?

A10 pilots!

‏Excellent and beautiful

Let's get to farming and defend Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

Shame, no stick back during taxi no tail wheel straight while stationary.

12 months later......camera man diagnosed with cancer. ;)

PÉSIMA PULVERIZACION, so observa desprolijidad en la manera de aplicar ...tremenda deriva, aperturas y cortes fuera del perímetro...

Thanks for making our food unhealthy

excellent flying, excellent video, a real sense of what is being done. Thank you. Many fly, THIS is a pilot!

Where is this at?

After I got my commercial, WAY before I got into the B-1900 I drive today, I lugged banners up and down the east coast of Florida. I thought I had it made - grab a big bag of Cheetos and one of those giant 2 gallon Thirst Crusher sodas from 7-11, and go fly for 5 or 6 hours... THEN I see these dudes getting badass PIC turbine time, making what I did seem silly. Sigh.

Great video ! What I find interesting is I cannot hear the buzz of the prop. When the 402's spray around here you can hear the propeller miles away.

Is he flying under the wires and between two poles?

You could show the farmer who's paying for the spraying the video and show them what they are paying for. They would probably respond by telling the pilot not to hit his crops with his wheels.

Seems like there are wires and utility poles everywhere...it takes skills and nerves to fly throught that !

2:15 Looks like the turbine engine is blowing white smoke from right exhaust. Why? Off and on for about 15 seconds.

Bonjour du Canada Haaaaaaaaaa if i'm a war lord i buy 6 military version (long sword) for strike drugs king pin and communist guerrilios

If these pilots were to fly the Military A10 Wart Hog, they would need little training in flying gun runs. They already have lots of experience.

An ADHD crop duster wouldn't last long. Nice flying!

PeZeteL_M18 DROMADER. Made in Poland.

Looks like a good bit of volume/high gallon work?

Fill that plane with liquid nitrogen and use it to fight forest fires.

Setting a world land speed record.

Él video estuvo muí chido

why was the engine smoking hard from the exausts @ 2:21

Great shots! Just hope you were wearing a respirator or mask or you would have gotten a lungful of that poison.

Why jump those wires? I'd rather see them go over than to lose them under me.

Yo quiero ser piloto Agrícola

Great video

Crazy pilots we say! Lol 😅

Gracias por su colaboración,puede regálame práctica xedecolaje aplicando la emergencia gracias

Pretty cool photography. Pretty close too. I sure hope you were wearing a respirator.

Is ground effect like flying over a fuzzy carpet in that plane?

Barulho estranho, piloto Radical

any way your planes and pilotes are very good...!

what is the weight of the wing?

Впечатляет.

Ken iemand n Blokkies wat so 20 jaar gelede gespuit het. En wat is die song se naam aan die begin van die clip.

top demais kkk

Me encanta este avion

Sound? No. Turbines remind me of those high-reving motorcycles - they annoy me. If you want real sound, get a radial. (Yeah, I know the economics today heavily favor turbines.) I still remember hearing those big radial engine planes working in the fields. And if the field happened to be close to a wooded area, that radial’s echo was simply amazing…

In Jesus name. Amen.

2:20 Smoke out of the exhaust? 🤔
