Chopper landing on my Co. road.

Here is a picture of a chopper refilling his tanks sitting on my road. They are spraying the field just south of me. He's a damn good pilot as flying 2 ft above the beans & missing the high voltage lines & trees on each end.

Seems better than using a airplane

So true here in Indiana most farmers are now using the choppers as the downdraft from the blades push that chemical down into whatever they are spraying. beans or corn. The picture was taken by my G.S. he was in his car about 100 ft. behind them till he took off & he could get down the road.

I look for them to spray my corn sometime in the near future. If I can I'll try to get pictures of it spraying. Took me by surprise till I heard the noise. I have another farmer take care of it. I'm too old to mess with that stuff anymore.

We are center east il and they use a plane here buzzes over the small town as he turns to make another run. I knew one crop duster years ago that hooked the powering as he flow under and flipped his plane upside down on the country road and he was lucky not a scratcb

The chopper didn't have to go way up like the airplanes do to turn, he just turns & goes back in the other direction. Then to do both ends he does have to miss high lines & trees. so he's low spraying then goes way high to miss them & turn.
