Final Approach
Well.. We got close to being caught up today but the wind picked up 14G20, so we shut down and took the rest of the day off. whew.. It's been a LOOOONG two weeks. Get to work at 5:30-6am and leave the hangar at 9-10pm every night. So far, we've done over 60,000 acres with more coming down the line. It's starting to look like we might have a bug run in August (fingers crossed) which will keep the big yellow birds flying in Iowa till mid August.
Here are a few pics I've taken so far. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to put my camera in the truck when I leave in the morning, so these pics are just low-quality picture phone pics. More sure to come.
Pic #1 & #2: One of our 402's flying over the hangar and rinsing out onto the field behind the hangar.
Pic #3 & #4: Our 502 sitting in the grass as a t-storm brews in the background. Luckily we only got rain long enough to give us time to sit down for lunch then we went back to work.
Pic #5: Two of our 402's sitting on the ramp when wind picked up sometime this week.
I'm still trying to get a pic of all the planes in one spot. They accidentally were all lined up on the ramp at home base yesterday evening, but we couldn't get the cub out of the hangar to do a fly-over pic. Right now, we're flying 3 - AirTractor 402's, 2 - AirTractor 502's, and 1 - AirTractor 400.
