Had two large external pylon tanks that looked like part of the spray system and lots of stainless tubing running all over the place. The Pilot seemed a bit irritated we were checking out his ride and appeared to young to have been a Nam Fac Driver. He also was packing and paid for his fuel with a US Gov. credit card. Anyone have a clue what this is all about? | Sounds like something the DEA would use to spray marijuana in the border regions of Mexico, but they usually hire contract pilots with ag planes to do that. I would love to fly an OV-10
