He said "No. I do the work in the plane while I am in a holding pattern with the autopilot on for 4 hours at a time!"
As for how dangerous the flying is, I'm figuring there is more of a threat on the ground (food poisoning and indirect fire
) than airborne.
Thomas - can you share what type of flying that you are doing for Dynamic?

USMC,
I currently work in the Aerial Application division of Dynamic. Basically 90% of my flying is 500'AGL and below of populated area's, at night, wearing NVG's doing adulticide control of mosquito's. Fun flying, but dangerous... more so than being in the sandbox IMO
