I understand the concern. I was thinking about at least getting a helmet. As far as a flight suit, too hot for this kind of work. I've never seen a single ag pilot wearing a nomex jump suit. Even the guys in air conditioned air tractors.

Unless you're flying through your swath all day (which usually means you're doing it wrong ) I don't see the need to protect yourself from chemical exposure that doesn't exist.

Anybody have an experience or tips involving maneuvers in spraying row crops?
