Finally getting around to a project idea I've had in my head for the past couple of years. Spent some time in the Mississippi Delta last week with Air Tractors(crop duster) and their pilots. Looking forward to finishing the edits this week.

While I love using my 90/f2 Summicron, it definitely takes some practice focusing on an object moving at speeds up to 185 mph and within 10ft of you sometimes :)

Enjoy. - Chris
 
Interesting and great idea next would be aerial firefighting that incidently developed from crop dusting the first aerial firefighter/air tanker pilots were crop duster pilots.
 
always like your work, chris --- we need to meet up in clarksdale or memphis sometime --- let me know if you're ever passing thru the delta

Yep. And many more commercial pilots now getting into aerial application due to the higher salaries vs commercial airlines.

There's also a fighter version of the Leland Snow Air Tractor.
