That is great info T-Cart. I always wondered about the big ag planes and their ground handling. They sound significantly better than the handling of some of the vintage airplanes I am familiar with. Sometimes it is hard to judge - many people fill the world with horrow stories about planes that may not be justified.

I would love to go to the AT factory. Leland Snow is quite a story. It would be neat, if I couldn't break into the ag flying business, to at least do something where I could fly these machines. Dream job would be to deliver them, particularly from Olney to overseas buyers. I am also interested in the 802's they send to Columbia and other parts of South America - they paint them black and use them for drug eradication. That has to be sporty at best - all the danger of Ag flying with the added bonus of people shooting at you!

I really think we should encourage Doug to make a place for AG and Air Attack. He does fly for a cropdusting outfit after all!
