    there's one missing forgot to screw down oil filler on a C152. went for short flight and had to clean fueslage with paper towels - covered in oil all cleaned up for a cpl flight test which I passed ! - immediately before flight test the local flight instructor said 'you'll never get it' (great words of encouragement)

    on 2 separate occasions I have been lucky to sit in the right hand seat while aerial topdressing (nz). On the second occasion the relaxed pilot (ag pilots usually are) allowed me top fly it back to the airfield - a distance of say 20 miles - and to finals the DC3 topdressers were single pilot operation and carried 5 tons of phosphate from provincial airfields Provincial airfields saved the cost of transporting the fertilizer to an isolated farm strip - I don't know if that was sound economics

    go get 'em jackc - see if you can get the highway rig up to 120 km/h - might as well do some speeding as well pack the spare tyre full of illicit substances and make a packet when you get there as well that s a 'well, well' (.................. said in a pensive tone)

    ........ if we are grounded till say august 2020 ? (a guess) then RAA will have to allow some mechanism where owners can all go and 'run up' these planes once and a while its a bit like all the other closed facilities - they need to be maintained for their eventual reuse ?

    Yes Mactuk (and others) ............... the majority of us are rec pilots - armchair commercial pilots if you like - we like flying and we particularly like viewpoints from those that have used their commercial pilots license in anger ............... all good subject matter to us / me Please keep sharing I find it ironic that ag pilots are mentored and trained and presumably fly in their level of experience (with plenty of willing replacements waiting), but, in some instances the inference is a charter pilot flies in to the blue yonder (also with plenty of willing replacements waiting) - seems that maybe each type of flying (ag & charter) does it differently ?

    ooohhhhhhhhhhh the irony !

    somatogravic illusion. An optical illusion that can result in spatial disorientation. A rapid acceleration during takeoff can create an illusion of being in a nose-up attitude. ... See also oculogravic illusion. When head is level or when aircraft is flying at constant speed, sensing hairs are erect.
