Seen on the Ramp

This monster was parked outside of an airport diner last weekend:



I think it's a Thrush. The windows don't look quite right for an Air Tractor. But that's just a wild guess.

You can do a lot more than cropdusting with a Thrush.

It's a Thrush, judging by the gear legs. Air Tractors use a simple spring steel leg, while older Thrushes use the multiple struts this one has. Some of the newer Thrushes are now using a simple spring too just to make it more difficult to tell them apart.

I'm looking at the "saddle" in front of the cockpit. The design is pure Thrush, matches all the current models, where Air Tractor uses a rectangular design. It looks a lot like a 510G, but the extended rear razorback is a bit confusing, plus the light in the leading edge of the right wing doesn't show on their current gallery models.

The landing light is so they can fly back to the airport after the sun sets.

Want one!! Add a couple of machine guns and a pylon or three and it would be an incredible tool.

Understand, Comrade, but just noting that the Thrush web gallery didn't seem to show a model with that light...seems a weird omission, especially on an aircraft that is generally in the business of being flown for hire, and thus required to have the light.
