Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Fun video. With permission from the ag pilot, I followed a few hundred feet above him as he sprayed some fields boxed in by trees. It was neat to watch from a vantage point that you can't get on the ground. For the same reason, the footage from the wing tips on this vid were fun.

Very well made video. Gave me goose bumps since I fly an AgCat! Great perspective from above. Keep them coming!

Here's a picture of my Dad's Thrush next to two Ag Cats(you have to look close to see the second just beyond the close one) back in 1974 at West Point VA. Notice the Automatic Flagman dropping toilet paper--no GPS back then.

Slow, hard to see out of, and a poor spray pattern but man are they cool!!! And tough.
I saw what was left of one in the San Luis valley not long after it hit a high ditch bank on a spray pass. It flipped over, of course. All the recovery guys had to do was chop the control cables and throw the pieces on the trailer. The pilot walked away with a cut on his face from a sliver of glass from a broken instrument.
