Default Re: tell a Model A related story

Hi Jemelton. the answer to your question is coming. The aeroplane in your picture is an Airtractor. I can identify it by the high aspect wing and tail plane. The manufacturer paints them yellow with blue trim. This one appears to be white with red trim thus I would assume it has been repainted to comply with fire fighting requirements. It may double as a fire fighter in fire season and an ag plane out of fire season. Or a past owner could have been a fire bombing contractor.
The picture is of an Airtractor from the internet. This one is a sprayer with booms and pump removed. But note the high aspect wing, ie long wings and a short chord, ie distance of wing from leading edge to trailing edge.
