Flying seed---look at the seed trail behind the plane.
These dudes are awesome pilots.
Seems pretty close to the ground to me.
How seed is loaded into each plane---the bag on the lift contains 2,000 pounds of seed.

A BANNER DAY
Had a great day today spreading seed for fire rehab. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like. We had two planes each of which flew about 2,000 pounds of seed a trip. Flew over 25,000 pounds of seed today. This is turning out to be an awesome project. Now we just gotta beat the snow.

I have seen those kind of planes many times here in the California central valley. I would never have imagined that they can carry so much weight.
Maybe that is why they are so close to the ground. :0)
Looney---they are generaly used as spray planes for spraying crops. I am pretty happy to have both of them for flying the seed.
Looks like a pretty cool project!
