My dad was a commercial airline pilot. He built up his hours in the late fifties, early sixties crop dusting. I think it made him a very hands on pilot. He used to drive co-pilots crazy because he flew the plane. It wasn't just wheels up slap on the auto pilot. He brought to altitude, and took it down. Thanks for the video, it was fun seeing it from this perspective. And next time you guys come through southern Minnesota from Oshkosh, there's a great little grass strip airport nearby, KSYN, I'd be more than happy to cart you guys around to get you to the hotel, food, or whatever.
Job well done! Halfway through my 8th season here in Yakima, WA, still amazes me when I climb up into the seat every morning that we get to do this for a living. Keep up the good work and stay focused!
This is my neck of the woods too. We were in the King Air, departing from PSC to the north and saw a yellow crop duster below us. Might have been Scott. It’s cool watching from above but not nearly as cool as this video.
My father-in-law flew crop dusters in southern and central California for years. He was a C-47 pilot during the war and flew the hump over the Himalayas. I loved going flying with him, he had an Aeronca Champ for years then sold it and flew a Stearman 75 the last few years of his life. God damn, he was a great pilot and a great guy. I miss him a lot.
A crop duster pilot checked my brother out in a Stearman. Brother Bud used to tell the story saying on his 1st trip around the pattern he made a standard take-off and began his climb out to pattern altitude. As he climbed through 400 ft Bube (pronounced Boobee) took the stick and yelled through the intercom “Don’t go so high, Bud, I get a nose bleed if you get any higher!)
Hello from New Zealand great shot's friend. Reminds me hearing dust crop over our top of the farm house I was staying in. We even used Dc 3 as crop dusters' in around our hills in New Zealand not now.
Thought of you this weekend. I was at Coralville lake in Iowa, north of Iowa city, and outside the Marina there is an OLD Piper Cub in Ag-Cat Yellow with floats on it for lake use. Grass growing around it, wish I had taken a picture. Neat video today! That plane and you are One. You're very good at your job! Glad you got your plane back! Safe flying!
Light turbine-powered heavily-loaded craft, flying low on specific flight paths to satisfy a customer -- so fundamentally risky and cool as hell. I promise not to mimic, but I am certainly inspired!
Hey Scott!! Me again,, you sure took my little advice up a couple notches for sure!! I loved this video of you doing what you like!! P. I. C. in total command!! Thanks for taking us with you once more my aviator friend!! Your flying skills are awesome and getting better every day by every hour in that wonderful bird!!! Peace be with you and your plane!! As always Scott!!; Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,, G -Man
Fantastic videos. I watch the spray planes on corn driving out of my way at times to get closer. Your runs seem very long compared to quarter section fields, but it could be the perspective. Great work in capturing the reality of this profession. Any way to get a view going forward?
An Ag Cat is a very agile aircraft. You need every bit of it's capability flying the way you do. Never seen so many ups and downs. It is like a roller coaster.
The military flies training missions regularly in the canyons around the Palouse. There have been collisions with crop dusters in the past. Several times I've been driving trucks or tractors with nobody around for miles when one of these guys "destroys" me as a practice target. Fly safe!
You are a dead set fucking legend. Thank you so much for sharing your day in the life of a crop duster. Because I kid you not this isnt what I thought crop dusting was. You are dead set balls to the wall one fuckup from death at all times and I love it. Thank you.
Great video! Well Done. What is your camera+mount? Wonderful steady high quality all the way around. Even the audio is decent considering the level of engine and wind noise.
I have always been fascinated with spray planes, at 46 yrs old now I feel I could do it safely, back when I was 20 I would have crashed a few times from being reckless.
I worked for a crop duster for 5 years as an A&P. He hired a new pilot flying ag for the 1st time. After a for weeks he said to me " I have to back up to get my pay check, anything that is this fun you shouldn't be paid to do"
I'm pretty sure they use a GPS system now. When I was younger we actually stood out in the field with big yellow flags and then once the plane passed over us we would just jump over a few rows to let him know his reference point for the backtrack.
You missed a bit ;-) Just kidding, that's some seat of the pants flying right there, you have my total respect. I was in awe at the level of concentration you keep even after seeing the "short" video, after this one I need to go have a lay down!
Too cool! Thanks for the ride-along! Are you guys still out in the Midwest? Every time lately when I drive by the strip behind Colfax all of the planes are on the ground.
Love it! Thank you, Plamer! Lunch on me & a paid Kit Fox flight w/my 7yr old daughter once you get a chance! Palouse Hills spraying, most awesome footage thusfar, by far! Your starts and cutoffs are on-point, the rest just makes me a little jealous. 😄
Hey Scott, I ust to fly an old 1340 Cat up here in Canada, just wondering why you are doing right hand turns? Also what GPS do you use Satloc or Ag-Nav? Steve

Just can't imagine the amount of concentration need to follow terrain like that so closely. Great vid.

wow, that looks like tough flying - constant concentration!
That’s some intense flying! I’m exhausted from just watching. Thanks for the ride.
Job well done! Halfway through my 8th season here in Yakima, WA, still amazes me when I climb up into the seat every morning that we get to do this for a living. Keep up the good work and stay focused!
Kinda like your own Han Solo shooting across the Eastern Washington plains?

The way you must fly ... Now I understand why Dusty Crop-hopper was afraid of heights
Ha ha that’s awesome.

I'd love to see this with a 360 camera! Thanks for sharing!
Wow I wish I could fly like that. For now, I try to be excited about ground school.
Great video Scott. Seeing pilots at work & play is awesome
Thanks for the video. Looks like work. Bet you don't have any problem falling asleep after a day of that kind of flying.
The precision of the application is too much fun!!! A tank sprayer on wings.. You gotta love it!!!
You are now a legendary u tuber. Nobody else could attach a go pro to a prop and get that kind of footage.
Thanks for the ride,Scott.
That was bad ass! Love the way the plane growls.
best office, best views :) Thanks Scott, was fun to fly along!
Great precision flying! Please post more videos like this, somehow watching it was oddly satisfying.
No houses, trees, or power lines that I noticed. I imagine you enjoyed that part of it.
Your ability to maintain AGL is incredible
Love the change in sound when you push the nose down!
Wow. I'm speechless. That's some serious piloting skills.
Wow! For a second I thought this was a preview for a sequel to the Blade Runner Remake. The flying and the sound is awesome!
Hello from New Zealand great shot's friend. Reminds me hearing dust crop over our top of the farm house I was staying in. We even used Dc 3 as crop dusters' in around our hills in New Zealand not now.
Thank you - another great video showing how 'dusters' do their job. Watched one fly around here in N.W. IL the other day. Be safe and take care. Spin
Boy oh boy glad to see you got a nice safe job. Look for another canyon flying movie with music , take care and be safe.
Nothing between you but a blade of grass! Very cool

Safe flying!
There is a decent sized operator at the Washington airport if you ever wanted to get an up close look at the planes.
@@gasfiltered Thank You!!
Wow Scott, just wow. Be safe!
Very cool - thanks for the ride!
great video, keep it in the sky and the camera rolling
Uncut WOW, keep it coming Scott
Coolest thing since Star Wars Podracing. It'd be great to hear/see more about how your guidance system works.
Dusting was around a long time before pod racing.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. They were pod racing thousands of years ago. But I’ll bet they got the idea from crop dusters.
I’m just next door in Pullman! Love watching you work!
Go Cougs!
this is some serious flying liked
how do you fit yourself and your giant balls into that tiny cab? :) always been amazed by what you guys can do with a plane
@Tommy Hammernots his nuts run along the ground Flint Stone style.
Just WOW! .thanks for taking us along
That looks like some fun flying!!!
Pretty darn cool. My morning zen before heading out the door for work.
That looks like way too much fun Scott!
Light turbine-powered heavily-loaded craft, flying low on specific flight paths to satisfy a customer -- so fundamentally risky and cool as hell. I promise not to mimic, but I am certainly inspired!
Just got through watching you wingsuit hanging on to Draco's wingtip ... AWESOME!!!
Great Video Scott!
You look like a fighter pilot in there!
Luke.. use the force. 👨🚀
@@blueman5924 pfffff that field is no bigger than a womp rat.
I dare Scott Palmer to wear a Stormtrooper mask from Star Wars whilst dusting.
Hey Scott!!
Me again,, you sure took my little advice up a couple notches for sure!!
I loved this video of you doing what you like!!
P. I. C. in total command!!
Thanks for taking us with you once more my aviator friend!!
Your flying skills are awesome and getting better every day by every hour in that wonderful bird!!!
Peace be with you and your plane!! As always Scott!!;
Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,,
G -Man
Another awesome video Scott! Man that was some great footage!! Again...now the two best crop dusting vids I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more!!
Solid flying in some crazy terrain
What a cool video!!! You're a stud!!
Crop dusting over hills. . . . .go figure!!! Such concentration!
Saw you also skydive and yuppp we have like 40 mutual friends. What a small community.
Fantastic videos. I watch the spray planes on corn driving out of my way at times to get closer. Your runs seem very long compared to quarter section fields, but it could be the perspective. Great work in capturing the reality of this profession. Any way to get a view going forward?
Sure is pretty challenging - no chance for loss of attention! Great to watch. :)
An Ag Cat is a very agile aircraft. You need every bit of it's capability flying the way you do. Never seen so many ups and downs. It is like a roller coaster.
Why do I love this so much???
cHICK pEAS RULE! Thanks for sharing. You make it look easy, but you got tha skillz.
+Don Garrett just over here making some Humus
Great way to make a living...it looks like so much fun that you should have to pay to do that. Thanks for sharing this.
Dude, is it fun at all or is it just draining because your so focused? Intense look brother, great video and flying!
The military flies training missions regularly in the canyons around the Palouse. There have been collisions with crop dusters in the past. Several times I've been driving trucks or tractors with nobody around for miles when one of these guys "destroys" me as a practice target. Fly safe!
Looks like fun!
It's a feel thang....nice humpy ride.
That's so cool!
You are a dead set fucking legend. Thank you so much for sharing your day in the life of a crop duster. Because I kid you not this isnt what I thought crop dusting was. You are dead set balls to the wall one fuckup from death at all times and I love it. Thank you.
Wow! That's awesome. Than you for sharing this.
How effin big are these farms. Its just crazy
I’ll bet it takes some getting used to getting out of the Ag and into the KitFox. Cool Thx for the neat video.
+Stringman1950 it’s always a bit strange when you step from one plane to another after many hours in it.
OMG THAT'S SO BAD ASS!!!!!
Hello from eastern Iowa!
Great stuff
Loves aviation, watches you fly insanely close to the ground... Then notices you are a skydiver also lmao.
The first person view is the best, do you have a whole video of that?
Is that even considered work? That seems like way too much fun!
Great video! Well Done. What is your camera+mount? Wonderful steady high quality all the way around. Even the audio is decent considering the level of engine and wind noise.
I have always been fascinated with spray planes, at 46 yrs old now I feel I could do it safely, back when I was 20 I would have crashed a few times from being reckless.
Awesomeness!!!!

That looks fun.
Pretty cool stuff Scott !
Can you actually see what you've dusted on the ground as a reference or are you doing that another way?
I'm pretty sure they use a GPS system now. When I was younger we actually stood out in the field with big yellow flags and then once the plane passed over us we would just jump over a few rows to let him know his reference point for the backtrack.
Pilot I know has gps, covers entire area to be treated with very little over spray and less waist
They use a thing called “satloc”. It’s a LED bar in front of the cockpit that essentially tells you where to point the plane
And just like that I want to go be a crop duster now!
Very cool! I'll bet you used to bullseye womp rats in your T-16 back home.
Nicely done Scott. I'm watching from up in Spokane.
Wow nice!!! I'm from Brazil, I really like your videos!
Future ag pilot here too!
You might be in Iowa, but that is the Palouse country with Steptoe Butte on some of your turns.
You missed a bit ;-)
Just kidding, that's some seat of the pants flying right there, you have my total respect.
I was in awe at the level of concentration you keep even after seeing the "short" video, after this one I need to go have a lay down!
I dream of flying like that. Instead heading to Scotland at 45k ft.
Can you get life insurance doing that, makes the flying cowboys look tame!
Too cool! Thanks for the ride-along! Are you guys still out in the Midwest? Every time lately when I drive by the strip behind Colfax all of the planes are on the ground.
weee haaa , it's so wired to see the ruder true the turn coordination from behind it feel weird but awesome thanks Scott for sharing
Wow, tons of elevator movement!. I'll bet the front view is extra exciting, too. Thanks, gutsy guy! Is all of your locating done by GPS?
love the footage and the perspective. How did you get the stabilized footage? I like the movement of the plane. Thanks
Have a long straw for your coffee cup? LOL Is the KF relaxing after that all day, or ready for a 915T??
foooookin' ell man..... I think your prop shaved some o that fungus! That pendulum effect is really cool, how does your camera capture that?
That terrain following flying looks fun. So are you using Google maps for your guidance?
Bad ass scotty
Looks like your getting ready to work the other end of the CAS Kill Chain!
Nice 👍
Ya missed a spot riiiiight over there.
Love it! Thank you, Plamer! Lunch on me & a paid Kit Fox flight w/my 7yr old daughter once you get a chance! Palouse Hills spraying, most awesome footage thusfar, by far! Your starts and cutoffs are on-point, the rest just makes me a little jealous. 😄
Looks fun
Hey Scott, I ust to fly an old 1340 Cat up here in Canada, just wondering why you are doing right hand turns? Also what GPS do you use Satloc or Ag-Nav?
Steve
There’s a mom joke in this video title. But seriously thanks for sharing.
This is a skill job should be in circus doing fancy flying it is remarkable I like it.
