I'd love to see video of a floatplane doing the same thing on a river.

I believe it's a Let 410
I landed and took off from a logging road north of River's Inlet in a Goose about 10 years ago. The wing tip clearance from the trees at times was no more than 20-25 feet. The road was sign posted as being used by aircraft. It looked similar to this video with the difference being a gravel road.

On #4 I'm not spraying , just goofing off.. the grass at the edge is the runway and the boss had just arrived for a base check, so wanted him to see the airplane reallt close!
Those rotary atomizers are made over there and are a copy of the AU5000. Insecticides could be as low as 2 liters /hectare. (50 to 6o meter swath)
High volume work on fungicide is 20 liters/hectare and we work that at 40 meters swath. You get to cover a lot of ground in one day, I have sprayed up to 3000 hectares in one day.
