Never seen one in real life, but it makes sense...tractors are known for being big...

Oh, and as for that being ugly...some of us like ugly aircraft.  Graceless, ugly as sin, but in the air, it's a thing of beauty...it's doing what it was meant to do...

I don't think it is ugly... Air Tractors are big by the way, this pic is a good illustration of it's size: http://cpeng.bpe.agr.hokudai.ac.jp/~tkataoka/texas/t-image/july/dvim0002.jpg Where did you get that Dromader?

I have & they are a bigger aeroplane than the Air Tractor's. Out here a lot of them are used for firebombing duties as well as cropdusting. These things are very agile & very solidly built. Thats one thing that I've noted of former Soviet Bloc aircraft is their simple, well designed and ruggedness.

And yeah the 1000HP radial sounds really nice! :)
