Ayres S-2R Thrush Crop Duster at Work

Update 2013-11-04 I originally identified this aircraft incorrectly as an Air Tractor.
It is an Ayres S-2R Thrush crop duster at work in the Imperial Valley on October 26 2013. This S-2R is doing his last few main passes and then his end passes to finish up the ends of the field and then heads for the strip. This was taken in the western part of the Valley. The video starts out looking due south at the Sierra de Los Cucapah mountains south of Mexicali, Mexico and Mount Signal sitting with its foot on the Mexican border. At the south end of the Sierra de Los Cucapah sits the dormant volcano Cerro Prieto (not visible in video) which was the location of the 7.2 Easter Sunday earthquake in 2010. Mount Signal is also called El Cerro Centinela and Wi'Shspa.
