jg,
it is onions with peas in the foreground (seed crops) the chemical was "Bee Scent" a pheromone / attractant that smells like lemon Pledge. Kinda weird climbing out of a spray plane that smells like it just came from a car wash :lol:

Great pictures Rob! I am familiar with your flying, I spent two years at McElhaney Cattle and lived over in Roll. I used to go out at night and watch 'em spray, love watching the flames coming out the stacks of those radials in the dark. Did my primary training at YUM.

Hi Jim,
I fly out of Roll and lived in Roll when I first got here, live on the south side of the hwy now. I spray McElhaneys stuff regularly. Not many round motors left here, but I know what you mean about the flames and the sound...

On another note I have some dirt on a strip near you (Timberon) and am thinking of getting more... Maybe I can shoot you a PM and discuss that area a bit.

Rob,

I had a travel trailer parked in the trailer park across from the school. I wasn't there much, either working or flying most of the time.

South of the hwy from Tacna?

I have 2.1 hrs. in Doug Henry's M4. Is he still flying?
