This guy is a crop duster, and this is how they fill the tanks.

I've seen and photographed this same operation here in Jersey, and your pic definately conveys the impressiveness of the task. Quite a bit of skill involved, but they'll probably say it's just another day.

I've never seen a helicopter used for crop dusting. Here they just use planes. How do they fill up on the top of a truck

Great catches Azzaro

Bet you spent some time cleaning the dust off your camera afterwards.

Thanks Mary K. for the comment...

BYA. There is a hatch in the top of the truck.

Thought there would have to be something at the top of the truck. Neat how they do it.

The second photo looks like you can see into/through the back doors...then when I look at your first photo it looks like there isn't any back doors. Was there?

Your really caught some good images here Azzaro

The sides and top were made like a cage...... For ventilation I would guess ...azzaro

That makes sense....I'd think you'd need to ventilate something like that. Sure looks neat in a photo. Hope you grabbed a bunch of them

. The horse picture made me laugh. "What is THAT thing?!" "I dunno, Wilber, but we better get the hell outta here!!!"

Love to watch these guys work whenever I get the chance. We don't have
many choppers doing that work or any that I can recall seeing local. The
planes yes.

Neat captures.
I wonder if they worry about the livestock with their flyovers.

Thanks for looking in, Michael..... These horses were pretty calm until that pass where the chopper was headed towards their coral....When they come over my place it never seems to bother my horse...... :Dazzaro
