Aerial Spraying Acrobatics! Photos by Bob Kelly

Flying an aerial spray plane is dangerous work! The pilots make it look so easy, but there is much to think about particularly as you pull up and cross over wires and poles going over 100 mph! It was a fun challenge for this photographer, and all ended well.... for the pilot, the photographer, and ultimately also for the more productive corn crop when it is harvested.
Making the approach
Laying down the spray
Oops....it is not as bad as this looks!
You bet I am pulling UP on the stick!
Up and over!
Now a big wide turn and do it all over again!
