« on: February 11, 2010, 10:17:14 PM »
I want one of these, I know it is slow, and a turbo prop, but a 10 hour loiter time.  The Maintance would be cheap adn it would be relitavely cheap to operate.

True , but did you look at the Load out?  It is a gunship.  It is not my dads Airtractor.

I saw a photo of an Airtratcor skiing along the surface of a dam when I was out west in the cotton growing districts about 15 years ago. I tried googleing it after seeing this article and dont seem to find anything on the net. By skiing I mean he was full throttle skiing his wheels across the surface of a massive dam. If anyone else has seen this photo or has a copy please post it.  :cheers:

If they really want to sell it as a combat aircraft, they need to slap a camo paint job on it.   :rock

Well, at least there's no question about the plane's ability to support chemical warfare.
