Anybody ever seen this video? Not me of course as I do not work in Indiana. I've never seen these types of Ag turns utilized. Anybody else fly like this? Seems to be more stress on the aircraft than necessary for the work. I'm probably way wrong about that, I was taught to be as easy on the aircraft as possible, especially when loaded and turning. Only be as aggressive as necessary to clear the biggest obstacle and nothing more. I was also taught to gain as much altitude as your entry airspeed will allow before sliding back the other way. This video seems to be the exact opposite as I was taught. Cool video either way.

YouTube - helicopter crop dusting.
