Great, now they're also chemtrailing us from dronies :x
Yea, sure, it was TOTALLY "a rival drone company that lost the bid interfered to overwhelm the drones nav system!", surely it had absolutely NOTHING to do with The Squid and our impending doom... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Keep in mind the two things may not be mutually exclusive. The rival drone company could be owned by the squid. :shock:

Is it me or does it look like the airplane just took off from the highway? Otherwise it sure as heck wasn't maintaining "An altitude of at least 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft" from the outset.

The fact that we're measuring takeoff roll distance from a taco stand to a bakery should tell you all you need to know about how well thought out this was.
Watching the videos I suddenly remembered when "we" feared that would happen with all aeroplanies on Y2K...

Who on Earth put a street light pole and a suspended traffic light next to an active neighborhood road?

Well duh! Any properly-trained pilot knows you're supposed to start measuring at the gas station.

Gentlemen: we (I actually mean YOU) don’t know what you are talking about.

That is not_a spray plane.

That is an another antique flown by old people who shouldn’t be flying.

You will never know the joy of standing on the edge of a field with a handful of weeds and getting sprayed with herbicide…I LIVED IT.

Go back to your flight simulator and find an Ag Tractor 802 if you want to play spray pilot…use the Stearman if you want to be in a parade or fly upside down and backwards in a swimming pool.

Spray booms or fertilizer diffusers are key items to identify crop dusters. While there’s something to yellow paint, 1. Biplanes and radial engines have largely given away to single wings and PT-6 engines…also, Cessna makes a spray aeroplanie that is usually white.

You’re welcome.

3WEie, paraphrased:
Stearmans are yellow just like poisonous, deadly sprayplanies, but they're completely harmless.
Batesian mimicry?

And DC-3 s are still used in passenger service.

Also, that is an Ag Cat and not_a Stearman.

(I acknowledge that Stearmans .we’re used for applications in the early days).

Please go back to MSFS and leave pesticide and fertilizer application to the professionals.
