Rather than clutter the Photo a Day thread I thought this year I'd make one to house all the pics form this year's spray run.
Job is a lot smaller this year, only about 6,000 acres on 108 tracts. Historically we've done between 10,000 and 12,000 acres. Today we got 8 tracts for about 450 acres.  N420AT ORAOC003 First Load by FredMan, on Flickr

Today's theme is wide angle. Everything today was shot with the Tokina 11-20.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What are the company requirements for hours/time in turbine? Spray work (at least the 3-4 companies I'm familiar with) are closely held small firms. Personal relationships are everything. |

Found out something very interesting the other day. This helo, N420AT, was built in 1974. It entered service in the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (Ministero delle Politiche Agricole, Alimentari e Forestali or MiPAAF) in forestry usage. It got shipped in another aircraft to the US 5 or 6 years ago when our guy got it, had about 500 hours on it when it arrived stateside.

Weather has been killing us. It's either been raining or the blowing wind since Sunday afternoon.
