Ned- as usual, great shots of some pretty aircraft. But in all honestly I've never seen such nice machines here in the states. Now, like all generalizations, I could be wrong. I'm no expert on the ag industry. There could be operators out there who keep their ships in nice shape. It's just that the ones I've seen in my travels run some pretty rough equipment (f/w and rotary) - NOTHING like those in your pics. In this country, ag-flying is less like aviation and more like farming.
