Are you sure that it is not a Thrush with the 800 shaft hp Pratt turbine -used for drug interdiction in recon flights as it has long range fuel tanks, I have seen several of these -made into this configuration for there ''WAR ON DRUG'S '' ? If it isn't it looks identical -I would be willing to bet on this, if anyone can show some proof or know's for sure, I do know for a fact that they have a new line of the Thrush's made especially for this type of roll in the lawless area's of Columbia -and they tell me that it is a good platform for this type application -way better then a P 51 and just as effective
This Aircraft Costa easy a good 1.-5 mill or more w /all those goodies -just the armament probably is a $500 k extra cost, I would like to give it a spin, I would bet it could do about a 3500 ft per min climb rate, along with some great handling w/that short expensive and huge Rutter
Wow super cool
👍
An Air Tractor equipped with a FLIR pod and some GBUs? what is this sorcery?
What's that?
Looks like the crop duster from the Disney/Pixar movie "Planes"!
It's an Air Tractor 802 military version. It's a converted aerial applicator.
I've never seen a two seat version though. Must be for the guided weapon system. That's too cool!
Turbine Air Tractor!!! Never have seen one set up like this! That's a freaking crop duster, I'm impressed.
Merci beaucoup bonne soirée
Crazy plane but I'll bet it's great fun to fly…
I have only seen planes like this used for crop dusting . That is crazy armament for a small plane .
Tume for our planes to fly again
Beautiful post. Good evening my dear friend. Thanks ✈ 🌷
Those things will carry quite a bit.
Isn't this the same as the crop duster in the annimated film plane?
I WANT ONE – that is all I know and I think it is the plane that the PLANES character was based on as he was a crop duster..
