Interesting video- I live in Cheyenne and a friend of mine sent me a link to the video. The Twin Comanche in your video is my personal plane, the damage on the nose, like the King Air- is ice damage from ice being slung off the props while "slogging through the clag". The C340 next to the Twin Comanche is my "work airplane", a corporate aircraft that I have the pleasure of flying. The corporate aircraft we had before the 340 was a Piper Seneca II and the heater didn't work in that airplane. I know all about flying around so cold you can't feel your nose, fingers or toes- I feel your pain man! Glad you made it back safely. Wish I'd have known you were here- would have been fun to have a beer and hangar fly for a bit!
Silver Nitrate flares are used for cloud seeding. Provides a nucleus for condensation so the cloud rains out before it turns into hail. Also the prop device pads with the dents are replaceable so don't feel too bad for the king air :)
Cloud Seeding. Cloud Seeding is - at least in some regions - primarily used to prevent hailfall. The generators emit tiny cristals which attract moisture. So many tiny hailstones form instead of few big ones. Those tiny hailstones melt while falling zu the ground and turn into rain. The main purpose is to provide a large amount of condensation nuclei, because water needs something to cling to when condensing. Greetings from Vienna!
Hey Scott be happy you were covering ground a lot faster than in your Kitfox... and using fuel at ten times the rate of the Kitfox. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Oh this covid thing has brought my plane build to a halt...
Enjoy the ag videos! Hope you get to fly 602 or 802 Airtractor. I got to be a passenger in a 602 a few times. Yes single seat and yes illegal. Statue of limits is up. But so awesome!
Hey Scott, just wanted to reach out and let you know I love the channel, good vibes! I'm finally getting back into aviation after a twenty year hiatus thanks to you and the boys, looking forward to flying with you all sooner than later. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey Scott we been watching you fly all morning. My son has been out taking pictures and video of you guy's. Glad the weather has been good for you guy's. Can't wait to see you some new videos.
That curled tip on that prop is what the called a Q-tip. The idea was to stop a vortex off of the tips to reduced noise. Kind of like winglets. It is also to improve efficiency a bit.
This vid randomly came across my feed. I used to drive a delivery route for Napa from Coeur d’Alene to Lewiston and back everyday. Watching you guys crop dust was about the only entertainment I had in that whole trip haha.
Great vid. I could imagine crossing those mountains above the clouds in a c210 or a TBM and looking over and there’s a dam duster up here with us 😎. Don’t see a duster up there much. I think i got to about 2500 agl in the c188.
Shoulda made the hour trek down to Denver. Front Range (CFO), Centennial (APA), and Broomfield (BJC) all saw minimal snow if it was over this last week. Nonetheless, great travels. Clear air and blue skies!
Palouse bound? Hope to see Bravé in the air! PUW has a brand new runway as of last fall, not sure if that matters to ya, but it's something semi-exciting in the area.
I recently got my tailwheel endorsement out of Terre haute and I coulda swore I seen that plane sitting out there! I told my instructor that the brave looked really familiar. Now I know! Awesome xc ride along! Love the videos!
I did a 950mile ferry last spring in an old C188, the first leg was 287 miles over nothing but forest in northern Canada, I saw the first house 2hr30 after take off haha I'll stick to my AT402 lol
No idea what AG flying is like, but this makes me think the fuel tanks are the size of thimbles to make sure you have extra usable weight for product? Great content!
I fly Ag thermal survey planes in Washington and Idaho. If you’re ever around RLD, MWH or TWF Idaho I’ll be keeping a lookout for you to say hello! Safe flight🤙🏻
That king air in the hanger tour. It belongs to a company out of Fargo ND. I am a line tech at the Fargo Jet Center and that aircraft is owned by our sister company weather modification international inc. a cloud seeding company.
G'DAY from Australia. I heard you say you are following I 80... is that the same as IFR aka I Follow Roads? Had a fly in a piper Pawnee once with the pilot ... hour flight and a little squeeze back in the 1960s.
I was ding my initial training in Tomahawks in the 80’s. Just before a solo flight I found a small panel missing from the bottom of the airplane. When I told my instructor he tossed me a roll of duct tape!
Scott, I must say your plane ferrying looked gruesome. When I was watching you video I was imagining just how cold it must have been. How did you keep your fingers and toes from being frost bitten? And why doesn't that plane have a heater? Best of luck to you and yours. Be safe
I’ve never flown before but would like to. It looks really cool. Do you ever spray in the Shelley-Firth area there in Idaho? Just north of Pocatello? Curious if your one of the planes I’ve seen.
Cloud seeding is for increasing the amount of rain that falls from a cloud by the use of silver iodide flares. Water needs something to condense on like dust or smoke so the S I helps condensed more water from the clouds. Many countries use them especially when they’re in a drought. Only 1 or two companies make those rigs any more.
Scott- do you have 12V in that Brave? If so, you could suit up in motorcycle winter gear. I have a jacket liner, gloves, toe warmers, and even leg warmers. If you have about 5 or 6 amps, it's enough to stay really toasty. Thanks for the video!!
Brave is the synonym of courageous in french (my language). But it is the same spelling telling the same thing in english or french. Great video! Living de AG life! Thanks for sharing.
Im a former helicopter pilot and used to fly Ag work in 206 and 205 platforms and to this day was some of the most fun flying I’ve ever done. Getting paid to chase birds, fly frost patrol and spray all while low level, nap of the earth beats turning a heading bug in the corporate world any day.
Interesting video as always Scott, you know its cold in the cockpit when you can see your breath.. Duck Tape has to be an Ag Pilots best friend, especially when the hopper truck driver gets to close to your Tail Plane when loading $£?!*
Scott, I was stuck in Cheyenne for 3 days at the end of June a few years ago.... I was bringing my new Rans S7 back from Bristol, Tennessee. That was not a lot of fun AND there was NO Social Distancing. Sometime, I'll share the rest of the trip info. You might find in Funny! Now, About the music selection for this video............................ Can you lose it? Thanks for the Cross Country, glad I wasn't paying the fuel bill...... Weav
It holds paper streamers. The pilot ejects one at a time with a buttom in the cockpit to mark a pass in the field so the pilot knows where he left off or wind check. They usually use smoke too but smoke dissipates quickly, marks a last pass just as they pull up, that makes it easy coming around and lining up a pass right next to a previous one.
Flags are handy In the Palouse where your borders aren’t well defined or you can’t see one end of the field from the other because there’s ten hills in the way
Boise to Terre Haute to pick up an airplane that was taken there from Iowa....there's a bag visible through the window with a Great Falls, MT bag tag on it. So confused...
We travel a lot and sometime forget to remove bag tags. Turbines inc in Indiana is who owns the STC on the engine swap for the Brave. Which just happened to be 300 miles away from Iowa when we had the loss of power event.
@@ScottPalmerair My mistake, I thought it was Dworshack! I didn't see the KEEP YOUR FORESTS GREEN markers. Hit me up if you ever have to land Twin Falls, and lunch is on me!
Cloud seeding... Freezing nuclei. A tiny particle that promotes condensation and ultimately a water drop dense enough to precipitate. Could be ice or water. Localized humidity must be high enough i.e. a cloud. Seeding helps the rain process form but is no guarantee that it will produce rain or that the rain will occur where you wish.
@ C Denton: mostly correct. It's condensation nuclei. I used to fly for that company (Weather Modifications, inc.). The flairs used (both on the wing and underneath) disperse silver iodide crystals (very close in chemical composition to ice crystals). The type of seeding you're doing (either on near top or at base of clouds) determines if you use the wing flairs or the belly flairs but generally both are intended to get taking in updrafts to attract water molocules. When they get heavy enough they fall to the ground as rain. You are correct in the sense that there's no way to determine how much more rain you'll help produce.
Hey Scott if you don't mind me asking when did you leave to go get the Brave. I believe we seen the blue and white plane at the landing strip by steakhouse (Moscow) bout 2 or 3 weeks maybe. With everything going on the days blend together.

It is silver iodide.
45 years ago silver nitrate was used in Africa, commonly contributing to fist sized hailstones which destroyed everything in their path.
I have to believe that an uncomfortable tone in a plane is way better than an uncomfortable time at a desk. I am envious. Thanks for sharing.
“This thing is held together with duck tape and prayers” best thing I’ve heard all day
In the Australian Aif Force we called that instant airframe
The “q tip” propellers on the twin Comanche do reduce noise, but the main advantage to them is landing on grass fields to avoid prop strikes.

7:01 looks like Omaha, NE and their plant close to I-35 and the Missouri River? That’s just south of I-80...
Actually, I would bet on Grand Island... that would be the Platte and they are just north of I-80
I fly out of Pullman mostly. See you up there sometime!

Looks like quite an adventure! Makes my 182 seem like a luxury. I need some adventure!
Did enjoy this, beautiful flight, I kept saying, "get a little higher! :)..thanks for sharing!
I know I'm late but those "flares" are actually sticks of silver iodide and when it's burned into the air it makes the water condense.
I love those Costco socks too!
I worked aviation weather in cheyenne for several years I left just a few months before this was shot. This is pretty on brand for CYS.
Thanks Scott. Enjoyed the ride!

The blessing was he was not doing it in his Kitfox. As I remember the Kitfoxs cruises around 90 miles an hour.

6 degrees F = -14C, plus chill factor.....brutal.
I've probably seen you fly over my house. I'm about 2 miles off 125, south of prescott.
Good stuff. That looked like a fun trip, I would have tagged along.
To bad there isn’t a turbine repair closer to home base. Thanks for sharing Scott.

so, you're flying low to stay warm, but the engine is most efficient at higher altitude. Bad time of year to go cross country :D
So do you have safety measures for engine failure over the precarious parts of the trip? Where would you dump it, the high ground or in the ravine?
Love your videos gad bless you
