Absolutely outstanding post Harley D.
Spot on.
One other point about ag flying; I always felt it was more about the ag bit than the flying bit....ie understanding farming and the farmers needs and using the aircraft as another agricultural tool like a combine harvester or tractor.
I also believe the skills aquired in this field are no burden whatsoever to carry into any other aspect of aviation, including airline flying where I now earn my steak n chips.
Cheers
