Who's your dad? I am Bob Leverton's grandson and I was probably flagging in that video......how do I contact you?

I think i've driven past that building at the begining of the vid. Is it about 1/2 mi s. of the interstate? A friend and i drove past it and someone said they used to spray out of it. Everything is all built up around it with houses/commercial....not many cotton fields left.

Unbelievable what's on Youtube.
It a picture of the outfit I used to work for in the 80's Country Boy Crop dusting in Tolleson Az.
The Agcat is being flown by either myself, or Lyle Owen ( LTC US Airforce Ret., Phantom pilot extroidinare). I think Lyle and I were the only ones to ever work the airplane.
This AgCat 6749K was later destroyed in a fire after an engine failure when lyle was returning from a spray job.

I love radial engs. because of the noise on the groud. Im a handeler/Wing man, we have 2 turbins and 2 really nice radials and you just cant get done with a radial what you can with a turbin> loud but awesome!!!

in the days whenever AG CAT and Stearman biplanes were THE crop duster planes, they always made me think of WW1 aces or something like that. I loved the radial engine sound.
Thats a super "B" ag cat with the 600 p&w R1340 if i'm not mistaken.
