There is an ad in TAP that just came out and it states that the season will be 1500 ac. per day for 50 days straight. The work is in Iowa and this will be in an R-44. That works out to 75,000 acres in a piston helicopter in about 7 weeks. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Might have to sell my business now and go do that!

Something sounds a bit fishy though. Like we're not taking into account commodity price changes or weather effects between now and then. And weather effects then. It'd be funny to ask for the pilot pay up front as a guarantee for that amount of flying!

If it's no B.S. someone's gonna be rich and tired at the end of the summer. I think 1500 acres a day for 7 weeks in and R44 would make a guy tired.
