@bigroybr69 I'm from Muscle Shoals and about to begin flight training for a private certificate. I would love to do this one day. Is there still a demand for ag pilots in this area?

[bigroybr69]

@fernanties this ag service that i videoed is the only one that i know of in this area. as big as the ground rigs have gotten there is not as much spraying with planes these days. plus as farmers we have a few areas near muscle shoals that we cant get sprayed with a plane because of people panicing when they see a plane spraying near their homes. where are you going to start your flight training? I would love to learn myself.

@bigroybr69 Yea, it seems to be becoming more and more rare to see ag planes in this area. I'm starting flight training in August at Wallace State Community College (near Cullman). But there are several instructors that teach out of Muscle Shoals Regional. Whether your interested in getting your license, or would just like to get an introductory flight lesson to see if you want to pursue it further, Shoals Flight Center's website has several instructors availiable.
