@alphaforce6998 8 месяцев назад

@@HarmlessFarmerAndyDetwiler How would he be exposed to these chemicals? Explain that. You are spraying them out of the back of the plane; is that mist going to do a reach around and come back into the cockpit? Or do you deliberately vape them before takeoff? And who said that these chemicals are intended to kill; as you have shown on your multiple accounts, they are more likely intended to lower IQ to serviceable levels.

@Bill123058 10 дней назад

@@alphaforce6998 I used to spray. here's an explanation for all you armchair aviators. when you lay down a swath, you turn around and often times fly at least partially, right through it. do that day after day, year after year, even wearing a mask, it will get in your system. then loading the plane. there are always spills, sprays and just being around the chemicals long term. it will get in your system. 🤡

This is pretty awesome, a couple years ago I flew out of that same airport, same spot and everything, with a different ag operator. I'm pretty sure that same pilot and ground crew was working there as well, Fisher Ag if I recall...they were competitors but a good bunch of guys. I was there spraying for maybe a week just helping out during the busy season and never thought I'd see that airport again, crazy to randomly run across it again on an ag plane video!

@johnnyholland8765 9 месяцев назад

I spent 36 years in aerospace manufacturing just retired but mostly military and commercial. Never got into the ag side of aircraft. I think that is an Air Tractor 802. They run the big Pratt Whitney engines rated up to around 1200 hp. They are the Cadillac of spray planes and I think the biggest spray plane flying. That isn't the standard prop. I think it could be an aftermarket upgrade. Anyone correct me if I am wrong as I said not too familiar with the ag planes. Kylie your Dad was a man among men and I think he would loved to have seen you sitting in that seat. Thank you for continuing what he started...

@Skinflaps_Meatslapper 9 месяцев назад

Interesting that you brought that up, as we have a pair of them inside the hopper to do the same thing. Once we've sprayed out the product, we flip a switch and fresh water gets pumped through them and rinses the hopper out (sometimes I'll jostle the controls a bit to get everything rinsed), then we spray that last little bit out on spots where we need to dress up the field or go over a less than perfect pass. There's very little residual left in the hopper when we land, that assures all the product goes to the customer's field where it should be.

Way back in '85 & '86, I was a mixer/loader/truck driver for a father and two sons team in Ankeny, Iowa. They had two of those Pipers and one Ag-Cat biplane (that was a beast!). It was a great job and great pay for the time and that helped offset my expenses for flight training as well. Many times, I would be parked out on a gravel 4-way intersection and they boys would land right on the gravel road and pull up and while I would mix 'n load, they'd grab a sandwich and while fueling, I was also their windshield cleaner and boy there were many-many bug splats to clean as you can imagine!
