It's not a compartment. Behind the seat is a sheetmetal wall with tubing on the inner side.... There is baracks that house our 4 point harness... The barack for the shoulder harness runs through there.
In different airplane set up there will be our GPS usually in the baggage area but I have seen some behind the pilot area too... |

So in Thrushes that area is just where the "base" of your harness is fitted. Interesting. The piper Pawnee just seem to have have space there for personal effects, water bottles etc. Wonder if their harness is very different! Cheers, ###Ultra Long Hauler### |
Quick comment. The Thrush in your picture has bracing wires above and below the tailplane. The Air Tractor has just bracing struts below.
The accident aircraft has struts below. Is it a Thrush with an airframe mod, perhaps....? :-) |

brace wire info
The bracing wires top and bottom were off the earlier model aircraft which had a fabric tailplane. The later model aircraft was metal covered and only had the V struts underneath the horizontal stabiliser.
As both the Thrush and Air Tractor were designed by the same guy you would expect them to look similar. One quick tell tale sign is to look at the vent set up or bulge on the top of the hopper. The Thrush has them on the right hand side halfway down the tank and is quite pronounced. The Air Tractor's "bump" is located centrally in front of the windscreen and is of a smaller nature. |

On paper they are here, but I always end up looking at Thrushes, anywhere I go. Will try some other air strips soon……..will post pics if I catch the two side by side. Cheers, ###Ultra Long Hauler### |
RESURRECTION ALARM! More mysteries………..
I came across some unknown crop dusters that I consider to up load to 1 or 2 photo websites…………but I need a positive I.D first! Googling the Registration# did not yield anything. Here we go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3820316/Scre...2010.42.29.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3820316/Scre...2010.42.48.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3820316/Scre...2010.43.06.jpg Anybody?

It looks like a Snow S-2C 600 Thrush Commander?

Especially the flying one, 6Y-JEV looks like a lot like it! The landing gear is slightly different, but still……….I think I will submit the pics as such! Cheers mate, ###Ultra Long Hauler### |
