Crop Duster

I just came across this plane working hard on a Sunday morning, winds were light.

C&C welcome.

Thanks for all the comments.

I appreciate the ID Jim, thanks.

Wow, nicely done. I wish they done that where I live!

Very cool capture. You gotta have some big ones to fly those things! He is lower then the trees, lower then the surrounding power lines, and lower then you.

Wish it was posted a bit larger. like the angle and timing of this. Nice shot!

Thanks Andy.
I changed the OP to a larger pic. Too bad the sky in the b/g is so blown out, some time in PP could fix that I suppose.

The sky being blown isn't too noticeable. The main focus is what catches my attention.

This guy really had a challange with those power lines. See pic below.

This picture isn't as nice, but it shows the wires in close porximity, he really had to pull up after each run; the wires came across his flight path.

Nothing new to alot of those pilots, I can remember watching them at our farm and most of the time our guy just went under them. Only time he really had to bank & crank was when he was headed towards the house.

Very Dangerous Job, but great shots!
