[QUOTE="James, post: 119764, member: 2"] BTW not trying to say that flying those tankers is easy, because it sure as heck isn't. Not sure what the spool up time is on those engines but I'm pretty sure it a lot more then the crop duster planes. :shocked: Plus with the higher speeds needed, you'd better plan your route out well in advance. The crop dusters fly a lot closer to the ground and other objects though. Plus I doubt that you'll see a tanker (or air racers) fly under the low voltage wires you see beside the road. A lot of those planes have wire cutters (sharp piece of metal) on all the leading edges for a reason. :lol: :shocked: :cripple: [/QUOTE]
