James, I believe all three C-54s at Falcon were outfitted with spray gear.  One of them still had the overwing spray apparatus thingies attached.

"You don't become a professional simply by earning certificates, adding ratings, or getting a paycheck for flying. Rather, professionalism is a mindset. It comes from having the attitude, the ethics, and the discipline to do the right thing — every time, all the time, regardless of who's watching."

Pet Airlines charter on final at KFFZ today. 


Apparently this is a fairly regular service - they even have a terminal set up in the main building of the old Champlain Museum.
