Really Interesting Old School Crop Dusting Video

Postby Deltamud77 » Wed Jul 16, 2014 2:18 pm

Very random post, but I ran across this video and thought I'd share. Any guy that lived in or around the Delta in the 70s and 80s or before will appreciate this I believe.

That's a pretty cool video. My dad grew up in the Delta with a guy whose family did that and I think he still does it. Remember going over there when I was real little and seeing the planes but never knew what they were for. Cool to see how they did it back then. Found it pretty funny with the guy talking about how sick he got a few weeks before messing with those chemicals while he's filling up with no gloves, mask, etc. :lol:

I'd be awesome for someone to create a comprehensive documentary on Ag Flying in the MS Delta from the beginning until now. There are a lot of characters to be chronicled (Bugga Bottom for one) and the history of the Delta could be told from the perspective of these pilots.
