Wow that is a real testament to the tank like build by Air Tractor. They actually make a military surveillance version (two seater in tandem). I'm sure this will only gain the military's confidence in their build. Always do a flyover to an unfinished field you are not familiar with whether you are an AG pilot or GA pilot. For reasons just as he mentioned: your sectional many not show new obstacles erected since the last publication.
