I did my spraying with a R-2600.....900 gal tank.....TBM-3E
HE WAS FLYING WITH ANY SECURITY OR PROTECTION BODY; LIKE TODAY RULES ARE MAKE IT.
Great video... I saw in the comments section of the video that the pilot is John Walton. Which is amazing because in 1971 I doubt anyone in Anguilla MS would suspect he'd be a multi billionaire by 2005 when he died. I'm not positive it's him, but it looks like him and here's a line from an obituary I found: "Throughout his life, Walton pursued a variety of business interests, including crop dusting in the 1970s and boat building in the 1980s and 1990s, and was a noted philanthropist."
It sounds like this is the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Here's a link to an article in Wikipedia. He had quite a life - - decorated Vietnam vet, aviation career, died with his boots on.

Unfortunately, two dusters have died in separate incidents in West Tennessee during the month of August. NTSB is investigating both.
