don't forget about chemicals and alcohol abuse

Yeah that's what I noticed. Not much crop dusting.

have another doob hit

That is truly old school!

Loved The Pawnee 2 Sessons 1000+ Hrs

The pawnee is a sweet little plane, fun to fly.

what I thought to. well i was younger 1993, but my first time up I noticed the gap between me and the ground kept getting bigger and bigger at that point I fully had meltdown , freaked ! awful it was , had no clue my balls where still on the runway ! and in 93 I discovered my biggest fear was heights and redheads , love them but do fear !

Tuning about 2k rpm. Typical, not slow really.

its a turboprop, so its not lacking in power, id say its service ceiling would be determined by the pilot needing oxygen as it has no pressurized cabin, so below 15000ft id say.

It was for show. You could tell the hopper was empty just based on how fast he lifted off the runway.

🤣🤣🤣

What you are seeing here is actually a calibration of the aircraft spray pattern. The aircraft is loaded with water and fluorescent dye. On the two passes if you look very close you will see multiple small markers in a line and then a string that collects data on the aircrafts droplet size and deposition density. Two passes are made and they are averaged to collect data on the aircraft’s nozzle setup. The time between passes is to reset the sensor equipment. The equipment is set up on an orientation to the wind to minimize side movement for testing and is not in line with the runway. Perhaps the video title should be “aircraft spray equipment calibration runs”.

@@KSOYflight I’ve learned something new, thanks.

I thought you were kidding, but nope! Disappointing for sure.

@@KSOYflight yeah I was a little lost. Thanks for the information. Makes sense.

What's holding you back?

And quieter, and easier to start, and more fun to fly, and (in most cases) more powerful, and nicer looking on the aircraft.... Once you go turbine, it's impossible to go back.

Horse shit. My dad sprayed for just shy of 40 years. Not one..... not one ailment due to exposure.

@@Jenufir he was lucky.

@@user-cd9gk7lj9p Not lucky, just common sense. Most ag pilots are smart, and paid attention to the chemical training they had to go through to use RUPs. Most ag pilots are 60 and older. They don't achieve 30, 40, or 50 year careers by being irresponsible.

@@Jenufir true,

I flew these aircraft for 15 years. Never once met anyone that died or knew someone that died from chronic exposure. Pilots and loaders will face exponentially higher exposure rates over a career over the general public, with zero elevated problems. You're spouting a myth.

Then half the planet would starve. You sound like an elitist that hates the impoverished.
