rotornut67 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ok, since I have "zero" experience in Ag flying other that watching it done a few times, what the heck was he spraying? Didn't look like much product being sprayed, and I couldn't tell from the video what the crop was. Just wondering. Cool vid none the less. Wouldn't mind doing some of that kind of flying someday if for no other reason just to say I've done it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotormandan Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hey, I flew that ship. Those guys taught me to spray and transitioned be to turbines in that 1 and their b3. They must've given it a paint job. Here's a picture of what it looked like a few years ago. I just pulled this off the internet. Those booms are for ULV(Ultra Low Volume) work. I know he's been doing testing for a chemical company the last few years. Those are apple in Eastern WA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormandan Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 In case you're still wondering, I talked to that pilot the other day. Those are cherries from early this summer. They spray malathion for fruit fly. There are many ways to spray ULV but they are using beco's to spray with. That video is in Orondo, WA. The company is JR Helicopters out of Yakima, WA.
