wow this has been my dream since i was 3 yrs old and i am finally old enough to start thinking about training(14yrs). i would appreciate some suggestions on how to get in to this awsome industry
@poptartpencil You will need to get your commercial pilots licence, an ag rating and a pesticides licence. This will cost between $50,000 and $70,000. You will need to do 100 hours work under supervision. this means finding an operator who is willing to do this. most of this will be done as working as a ground crew. after this you will have to do a further 1000 hours in a piston engine aircraft before you are qualified to fly a turbine powered aircraft.
were abouts is this at? looks a litle bit like here in western australia.i'm only a 15 year old kid but i've always loved planes. you sould have a look at Dave Herberts hat cam. His youtube name is NightFlyer. it works realy well and it's well out of the way.
Nice vid, my dad used to fly these and ag trucks out of Wagin in WA in the 80's and 90's. He used to take me up in the tractor, it is an amazing aircraft. Thanx for posting!

Love the video, you guys got it together!! Noticed a slight crosswind, but yall handled it great!! Love it. AT-502 or 602??

@flyboyzach07 i would imagine a 502, because a 602 has a 5 blade prop and this plane has 3 blades.
