Some photo's from Ag Pilots..
Just been looking at some of the photo's from the fling wing boys posted on the Rotorheads forum - some good stuff there.
Couldn't help but think there must be some mighty fine Ag photo's around somewhere. What do you think? Reckon you can give them a run for their money?
Might also add some kudos to Super Troup's effort to get a dedicated Ag forum going.
Wish I could kick it off, but as I'm not in the game, its going have to be some one else. So come on people, have a search through those files and see what you can come up with.....

Here's a link to help out with posting photo's, and I think there is a list of sites that will also host them as well.
Give it a go blokes (and blokesses?) Look forward to the results.
Ps good onya Cracker

..........Clever or?
I know a 502 has the tail up when it has a good turn of speed, but to me the tail is sitting a bit high. Also the spray is too high on the tail, if a 502 has the tail up high then it would be doing 120+ kts? if thats the case then the spray would be going very flat. With the water being a bit choppy (so they tell me) it either starts to bog down or gets very rough, this water looks too choppy.
Photoshopped?

Super Cec,
I have seen it done in an 802 - I was watching from the air but it looks genuine enough

..........Sking
Horatio, I've seen it done in most machinery before Turbines became popular, they would just make it easier, a bit more weight to cut through the chop. 
Normally the spray is a lot lower at the back, the bull**** about sking cleaning the Aircraft is just that bull****.

I remember seeing a doco on TV years ago, sometime in the 80's me thinks, of some Ag flying in Sudan.
I think one of the main players was a guy called Max Lacey, but anyway, there was a lot of skiing going on in round engine Thrush's and the likes - and from what I can recall, there didn't seem to be too much spray involved, the wheels where just skimming along.
Must throw at least a little bit of water up onto the underside. Anyway, regardless of whether maxspeeds skiing 502 is photoshopped or not, still a blardy good photo.
Any more....??

Cecil,
Why would you doubt a fellow airman?
I hope those arn't the specs you fly in...
Get off your chuff and post some photos instead of knocking others that do.
I will be as soon as I can beat some life into this
scanner.
