Episode 46 of the pilot. The pilot podcast takes off now.

My name is Reed Cahy. I'm an aerial applicator in Columbia, Louisiana, worked for a family business, Cahie

Flying Service.

What is going on, Avi Nation, and welcome back to the pilot a pilot podcast?

My name is Justin and I am your host.

This is episode number 46 and I'm talking with an aerial applicator, Reed,

K.E.

If you're wondering yourself, what on earth is an aerial applicator like I was when I heard him say it.

He is also an agriculture pilot. If you don't know an ag pilot is make sure to listen to the rest of this episode so you can find out exactly what it is like.

In this episode, Reed and I talk about, just like what I said, we find out what it's like

to be an aerial applicator.

We talk about the daily routine, what it's like to actually fly a full day, how many

take-off in landings they do, the type of flying they do, and kind of the process that goes

in the building where they're going to spray, how they're going to spray, and it's very

interesting. It's interesting to see that they're not just going out there flying crazy,

they're taking very calculated risks and they know exactly what they're doing.

I also found it very interesting that most ag pilots or aerial applicators want to be an ag pilot for life. They're in it not just to build

hours but they're not because they love it. They love the type of flying.

They love dealing with the community. They love where they live and they just love ag flying and that is awesome to me. It's awesome to see different

avenues that you can make a career in and I didn't know that ag pilot was one of

them so today here we are talking with Reed about how you can be an ag pilot and you can make a great career out of it.

We also talk about why Reed decided to be a pilot, how Reed had an electrical fire when he was flying around with his dad in another airplane and what he did to land safely and how all that
