This is the front end of a Rockwell Thrush Cropduster with a Super-doer conversion. That means that its got a 1200HP B17 Engine on it. Yeah, like the B17's from WWII. This plane hauls and delivers 3,000 lbs. loads of fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide over the Palouse hills and valleys.

In the Palouse photo essay.

Also in the story Get off Your Butt!.

    Wow, thanks Jane! I think it can grow on you, too. The energy takes your breath away if you look at it for a minute.
