Crop Dusting Raw Uncut load 

My dad was a commercial airline pilot. He built up his hours in the late fifties, early sixties crop dusting. I think it made him a very hands on pilot. He used to drive co-pilots crazy because he flew the plane. It wasn't just wheels up slap on the auto pilot. He brought to altitude, and took it down. Thanks for the video, it was fun seeing it from this perspective. And next time you guys come through southern Minnesota from Oshkosh, there's a great little grass strip airport nearby, KSYN, I'd be more than happy to cart you guys around to get you to the hotel, food, or whatever.

Just can't imagine the amount of concentration need to follow terrain like that so closely. Great vid.

My father-in-law flew crop dusters in southern and central California for years. He was a C-47 pilot during the war and flew the hump over the Himalayas. I loved going flying with him, he had an Aeronca Champ for years then sold it and flew a Stearman 75 the last few years of his life. God damn, he was a great pilot and a great guy. I miss him a lot.

The way you must fly ... Now I understand why Dusty Crop-hopper was afraid of heights

wow, that looks like tough flying - constant concentration!

That’s some intense flying! I’m exhausted from just watching. Thanks for the ride.

You are now a legendary u tuber. Nobody else could attach a go pro to a prop and get that kind of footage.

Your ability to maintain AGL is incredible

Job well done! Halfway through my 8th season here in Yakima, WA, still amazes me when I climb up into the seat every morning that we get to do this for a living. Keep up the good work and stay focused!

I'd love to see this with a 360 camera! Thanks for sharing!

Nothing between you but a blade of grass! Very cool

Thanks for the video. Looks like work. Bet you don't have any problem falling asleep after a day of that kind of flying.

Wow I wish I could fly like that. For now, I try to be excited about ground school.

No houses, trees, or power lines that I noticed. I imagine you enjoyed that part of it.

Wow! For a second I thought this was a preview for a sequel to the Blade Runner Remake. The flying and the sound is awesome!

best office, best views :) Thanks Scott, was fun to fly along!

The precision of the application is too much fun!!! A tank sprayer on wings.. You gotta love it!!!

Thanks for the ride,Scott.

Great video Scott. Seeing pilots at work & play is awesome

Hello from New Zealand great shot's friend. Reminds me hearing dust crop over our top of the farm house I was staying in. We even used Dc 3 as crop dusters' in around our hills in New Zealand not now.

That was bad ass! Love the way the plane growls.

Saw you also skydive and yuppp we have like 40 mutual friends. What a small community.

You look like a fighter pilot in there!

great video, keep it in the sky and the camera rolling

Coolest thing since Star Wars Podracing. It'd be great to hear/see more about how your guidance system works.

Thank you - another great video showing how 'dusters' do their job. Watched one fly around here in N.W. IL the other day. Be safe and take care. Spin

An Ag Cat is a very agile aircraft. You need every bit of it's capability flying the way you do. Never seen so many ups and downs. It is like a roller coaster.

Boy oh boy glad to see you got a nice safe job. Look for another canyon flying movie with music , take care and be safe.

Love the change in sound when you push the nose down!

That looks like some fun flying!!!

Light turbine-powered heavily-loaded craft, flying low on specific flight paths to satisfy a customer -- so fundamentally risky and cool as hell. I promise not to mimic, but I am certainly inspired!

Great precision flying! Please post more videos like this, somehow watching it was oddly satisfying.

Thought of you this weekend. I was at Coralville lake in Iowa, north of Iowa city, and outside the Marina there is an OLD Piper Cub in Ag-Cat Yellow with floats on it for lake use. Grass growing around it, wish I had taken a picture. Neat video today! That plane and you are One. You're very good at your job! Glad you got your plane back! Safe flying!

Great Video Scott!

Very cool - thanks for the ride!

Wow. I'm speechless. That's some serious piloting skills.

Below and forward 👍👍👍

OMG THAT'S SO BAD ASS!!!!!

The military flies training missions regularly in the canyons around the Palouse. There have been collisions with crop dusters in the past. Several times I've been driving trucks or tractors with nobody around for miles when one of these guys "destroys" me as a practice target. Fly safe!

I’m just next door in Pullman! Love watching you work!

What a cool video!!! You're a stud!!

Hey Scott!! Me again,, you sure took my little advice up a couple notches for sure!! I loved this video of you doing what you like!! P. I. C. in total command!! Thanks for taking us with you once more my aviator friend!! Your flying skills are awesome and getting better every day by every hour in that wonderful bird!!! Peace be with you and your plane!! As always Scott!!; Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,, G -Man

You are a dead set fucking legend. Thank you so much for sharing your day in the life of a crop duster. Because I kid you not this isnt what I thought crop dusting was. You are dead set balls to the wall one fuckup from death at all times and I love it. Thank you.

Just got through watching you wingsuit hanging on to Draco's wingtip ... AWESOME!!!

Another awesome video Scott! Man that was some great footage!! Again...now the two best crop dusting vids I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more!!

I worked for a crop duster for 5 years as an A&P. He hired a new pilot flying ag for the 1st time. After a for weeks he said to me " I have to back up to get my pay check, anything that is this fun you shouldn't be paid to do"

Crop dusting over hills. . . . .go figure!!! Such concentration!

this is some serious flying liked

I dream of flying like that. Instead heading to Scotland at 45k ft.

Pretty darn cool. My morning zen before heading out the door for work.

Looks like fun!

Uncut WOW, keep it coming Scott

Great stuff

Just WOW! .thanks for taking us along

Ya missed a spot riiiiight over there.

That looks like way too much fun Scott!

Sure is pretty challenging - no chance for loss of attention! Great to watch. :)

That's so cool!

Wow Scott, just wow. Be safe!

Great way to make a living...it looks like so much fun that you should have to pay to do that. Thanks for sharing this.

Solid flying in some crazy terrain

I have always been fascinated with spray planes, at 46 yrs old now I feel I could do it safely, back when I was 20 I would have crashed a few times from being reckless.

Piece of cake

cHICK pEAS RULE! Thanks for sharing. You make it look easy, but you got tha skillz.

Bad ass scotty

It's a feel thang....nice humpy ride.

Why do I love this so much???

Hello from eastern Iowa!

Nice 👍

This is a skill job should be in circus doing fancy flying it is remarkable I like it.

I’ll bet it takes some getting used to getting out of the Ag and into the KitFox. Cool Thx for the neat video.

Nicely done Scott. I'm watching from up in Spokane.

Fantastic videos. I watch the spray planes on corn driving out of my way at times to get closer. Your runs seem very long compared to quarter section fields, but it could be the perspective. Great work in capturing the reality of this profession. Any way to get a view going forward?

You might be in Iowa, but that is the Palouse country with Steptoe Butte on some of your turns.

Awesomeness!!!!

weee haaa , it's so wired to see the ruder true the turn coordination from behind it feel weird but awesome thanks Scott for sharing

Wow! That's awesome. Than you for sharing this.

Ace.

Can you get life insurance doing that, makes the flying cowboys look tame!

And just like that I want to go be a crop duster now!

Crop dusters are real pilots. Thats what I call technical flying. Its like being a fighter pilot and stunt pilot rolled into one. Not to mention AG pilots are also called to fight fires sometimes.

Dude, is it fun at all or is it just draining because your so focused? Intense look brother, great video and flying!

terain following radar together with some form of connecting autopilot like the military uses for their spec ops stuff would make this a lot safer

Is that even considered work? That seems like way too much fun!

Very cool! I'll bet you used to bullseye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

Wow nice!!! I'm from Brazil, I really like your videos! Future ag pilot here too!

You missed a bit ;-) Just kidding, that's some seat of the pants flying right there, you have my total respect. I was in awe at the level of concentration you keep even after seeing the "short" video, after this one I need to go have a lay down!

Loves aviation, watches you fly insanely close to the ground... Then notices you are a skydiver also lmao.

How effin big are these farms. Its just crazy

That looks fun.

how do you fit yourself and your giant balls into that tiny cab? :) always been amazed by what you guys can do with a plane

Just goes to show you dont need a supersonic jet when a crop duster can get you the same thrill for a lot less cash....and one also gets paid for it... Thank You😉✈️

Hell son, you should be a HOG driver, teach those airforce boys something about low level flying!!!!!!!!!. Love those rolling hills

Looks like your getting ready to work the other end of the CAS Kill Chain!

The first person view is the best, do you have a whole video of that?

Love it! Thank you, Plamer! Lunch on me & a paid Kit Fox flight w/my 7yr old daughter once you get a chance! Palouse Hills spraying, most awesome footage thusfar, by far! Your starts and cutoffs are on-point, the rest just makes me a little jealous. 😄

Giggity

Hey Scott, :-) I "Might" ......-Repeat-....."Might" have been able to do that 20+ years ago but these days I have trouble holding my attention on any one thing for more than a few minutes, this kind of flying "Demands 110% Attention" for however big the job is and that has to be your #1 priority!! Of course I might have failed at being comfortable flying that close to terrain, especially where there are power lines and trees! I'll never know at this stage of my life but that's OK. :-) Great "Uncut" video for sure! Not sure it would hold my attention as a viewer on every video (even aside from my short attention span these days), it's always nice (as a viewer) to listen to your commentary, you're a good speaker!! I totally understand that this one was done as a request. Having said that, I'm sure there are quite a few aspiring ag pilots that could watch this all day :-) As another commenter said, it would be nice to see how your GPS, light bar and other things works such as how you setup for turns to line up for the next swath, if you ever use flaps to tighten the turns, etc. It makes me feel good to see you evolve from a STOL pilot to making a career doing what you love to do. All the best, Joe

Very dangerous job, I worked for a crop duster years ago. I'm sure with the aircraft having a turbine, the aircraft have become much more reliable. They use to say....If the crash doesn't kill you, the chemical will.

I grew up on a Farm in Mississippi and I'm very familiar with crop dusting. I notice that y'all dont use flaggers anymore...LOL. In the '70's, once you turned 12...if you were bored on a dusting day...they would send you out to flag...with a sandwich and a can of soda. Lord how the times have changed.
