Love round engines!! That beauty reminds me of a Dromader. As I retired aircraft mechanic, I recall working on Dromaders, DC 3s, Otters, PBYs, and even a Cessna or two, LOL. Thanks for the video! ❤
Fun fact: In 1980 Weatherly built 2 PT6 powered airplanes. They were designated 620TP. I owned one of them. Flew it for 2 years. This was in the early 90's. Loved the little airplane. Would haul a full hopper just about anytime of the day.
No way! I know about both of those, and I think there is still one flying as of a few years ago. Would love to turbine swap one of these, it would be a workhorse!
Great question! You can fly with the doors off rather than open. You would only want to do this when doing some type of dry work such as seed or fertilizer. It can be hazardous if you’re spraying liquid and you have some type of malfunction in the equipment. There is a pretty good sized air vent in the airplane so it’s warm in there, but there is fresh air coming in as well!
I’m a simple man. I see a radial, I like it.

@@agpilotchick I know the one I had got destroyed in a crash in 1994. I didn't know if the other one was still flying or not.
Really interesting, thank you.
Amazing piloting skills but any lower and don’t think you could call it flying, it would be driving. 😊
Is Johnie still at it?
Thanks for the guided walk-around! Q: On the hot & humid days, can you fly with the doors open, or would that be a hazmat hazard?

I wonder what the fuel consumption is on a plane like that I am thinking at least 60 gal hr. if not more.
It's around 28 ish gallons per hour, but can be more like 33 depending on what power you need to work a specific field.
@@agpilotchick thats a lot better tan I thought.
What type of camera are you using?
This is just my iPhone... that's all I've got haha
I helped build this plane
@4:38 what are the brackets on the wing?
Mounting brackets for a flagger system!
I used to call this airplane Mr weather's B
Ha!!! We had a farmer call it the “Weatherbee” for a while!!
