Lots of reasons to spray at night. Usually little or no wind to create a drift hazard. Some harmful insects come out at night while beneficials like bees go dormant. Don't want to harm bees. That aircraft has special light package for night spraying. Notice how he turns them off while turning so he won't blind himself because of night moisture in the air (fog). That pilot is both brave and skilled. You MUST know your surrounds and field layout to spray at night.
I was thinking the same about wind dying down at night. The bee issue is something I had not thought about and is a definite plus. There's something about seeing someone pilot a plane cropdusting that is captivating and fascinating and I cannot stay indoors when I hear that familiar sound as my neighbors field of sorghum used for a maze gets its annual aerial bombarding. The pilot I'm told is in his 70s and he can fly. That air tractor sounds awesome when he makes his turns over my house.
Great video, but as a pilot,,,, No freaking way! As the saying goes,,,, There are old pilots and bold pilots, BUT there are NO OLD bold pilots”! Man be safe and rethink this for your Families sake! You are in a profession that is already challenging. Doing this after a long day invites disaster! Blessings 🤠🛩
