Predator 480 Ag Plane - Rare Spraying Photos

Posted by No-Print2829@reddit | WeirdWings | View on Reddit | 11 comments

I found some rare photos of the Predator during spray testing. Your notice that the nozzles come straight out of the wing. The spray boom was embedded in the trailing edge of the wing. You can find More photos in my other post about this airplane. Last photo is a very rare cockpit photo.

I see those guys working some days while I'm driving my car. I can't think of a job where such hard work is required consistently and where you are always right on the edge of disaster. That's not moments of terror with hours of boredom. That's always being right on the edge of death while regularly pulling high G forces. It sounds like the most fun I see in aviation.

Disappointed that it did not turn out to be an agricultural conversion of a Predator drone by a company keen or perhaps desperate to diversify their client base.
