    Awesome, no crap music or verbage! Just let that amazing aircraft and our spectacular land tell their own story, underscored by the astonishing skills and bravery of the pilot! Bravo!!

    I grew up with these things.
    They were first launched in the year I was born, and they scared the shit out of me watching the pilots flying.
    Sound so GOOD.

    Awesome footage. These men would have to rate as some of the best pilots in the world.

    Where’s this airstrip? Northland obviously but where?

    Reminds me of James Aviation, working from Oneriri Rd Kaiwaka, in the 60's

    SUCH A MIGHTY PLANE!!!
    Sounds so good.
    Is it a flat-eight?
    Just looked it up, and it is:
    Lycoming IO-720.
    Sounds so effing good!

    Amazing - but it seems there aren't a lot of options should the engine fail.

      They can jettison the load in 3 seconds if they run into trouble, but the odds of landing in one piece are slim

      These guys don't crash a lot, and it's almost never because of engine failure. You might not be able to get back to the original strip (though the things are very overpowered once you dump the load, so even a sick engine will fly), but also they can land in just about any open space of 100m-200m length e.g. a cow paddock.

    love it buttop dressing for what? seems random to me.

      Usually super phosphate or crushed lime or nitrogen pellets straight onto grass (pasture).
