Auerbach, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head, folded the newspaper neatly, crossed his fingers and asked, "Do you want to buy a plane?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "I thought about it, now that the scale of the fishing ground has expanded, and the fishing boats are too inefficient in spreading bait, it's time to buy a farm plane." ”

"I don't know much about this, except that most of the planes used in the fishing grounds are Polish M-18B dromedary agricultural planes, which were also used by Dick Marine Vegetation to sow seaweed seeds," Auerbach said. ”

It seemed that Auerbach couldn't build a yì for himself, so Qin Shiou said I'll go check it on the Internet when I go back.

Auerbach laughed and said, "Why bother going online, don't you have a black gold centurion?" I think Amex should have a special service staff for a big customer like you, ask them, and they will give you a satisfactory answer. If they want to buy an airplane, they can also buy it faster. ”

"So powerful?" Qin Shiou said suspiciously, after breakfast, he estimated that the special service personnel hired by the Yuntong Company for the black gold centurion card holder went to work, so he called the phone number left by Brandon for him.

After the phone rang three times, a sweet voice appeared in Qin Shiou's microphone: "Hello, dear customer Mr. Qin, I am your special service staff Jennifer Albie, I am happy to serve you, do you need anything?" ”

This voice is very good, no worse than the so-called female anchor of the radio station, Qin Shiou coughed and said, "That's right, Jennifer, I'm Qin Shiou." I want to buy an agricultural plane, preferably within half a million Canadian dollars. Can you introduce me to a few? ”

When his voice fell, Jennifer said, "Okay. Mr. Qin, please wait a moment, check your email in five minutes, and I will send you the appropriate information. ”

Sure enough, five minutes later, Qin Shiou refreshed his mailbox, and a new email from Yuntong Company appeared.

When he opened it, it listed more than two dozen aircraft names, followed by price, model, pros and cons, customer experience, and more. Very detailed. In addition, Jennifer also made a key mark on the models with better market feedback, and the service is very thoughtful.

The first to come out is the Polish PLM18-B dromedary agricultural aircraft, which has the best user feedback and is considered one of the most cost-effective agricultural aircraft, with a minimum price of $150,000 in Canada.

In addition, several popular agricultural aircraft include GA-200 Fatman, EMB-202 Tepanema, Z137T Agricultural Vortex, Pinnacle, and Air Tractor aircraft.

Qin Shiou looked at the profiles of these planes one by one, although they were only agricultural planes, he still watched them with relish.

The GA-200 Fatman is from Gippsland Airlines Pty Ltd in Australia. The fuselage is made of all-metal SAE4130 germinium molybdenum steel pipe welded structure, with an empty weight of 770kg, a maximum take-off weight of 1770kg, and a cruising speed of 374 km/h.

The EMB-202 Tepanema aircraft was designed by Embraer. The fuselage is an all-metal 4130 steel pipe welded structure, with an empty weight of 1020 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 1580 kg. The speed is 230 km/h.

The Z137T Agricultural Vortex is from the Czech Sport Aircraft Company and has a metal-skinned steel structure. The empty weight is 1250kg, the take-off weight is 2520kg. The cruising speed is 228 km / h.

The pinnacle is from New Zealand's Pacific Aerospace Company, the fuselage is made of aluminum-titanium alloy skin PDC plastic plate, the empty weight is 1315kg, the maximum take-off weight is 3742kg, and the speed is 274 kilometers per hour.

The remaining one is a very distinctive air tractor, this aircraft is very famous in North America, is the flagship aircraft produced by the United States Air Tractor Co., Ltd., the fuselage material is a simple 4130 steel structure, rough and powerful, the empty weight is two tons, the maximum take-off weight is 4 tons 3, and the speed is 253 kilometers per hour.

These planes are not expensive, the most expensive air tractor is around $500,000, and the other aircraft are less than $300,000.

Don't look at the only five types of aircraft here, in fact, each aircraft has more than ten seed models, such as air tractors, there are AT-301 original, AT-401/401A improved, AT-400/402 improved two, AT-501AT-502 enhanced, AT-503/503A new and AT-802/AT-802U ultimate.

These aircraft are the most representative in their respective fields, either simple and easy to use such as the Polish dromedary, or fast as the GA-200 Fatman, or the most fuel-efficient EMB-202 Tepanema, in short, each aircraft has its own advantages.

Qin Shiou studied it and couldn't decide, it seems that it is best to buy a dromedary, because this kind of aircraft is not only cheap and easy to use, but also has accessories, although it is a Polish-made aircraft, but there is a production line in Canada.

However, after some comparison, Qin Shiou still decided to buy an air tractor, and he wanted an AT-802 civilian model.

Finalized in September 1995, the AT-802 was larger than previous models and was the first two-seater designed by an air tractor airline for special tasks such as fire fighting, spraying chemicals in mountain forests, high-volume sowing and fertilization, and counter-narcotics.

The aircraft is equipped with an 820 kW, 1,115 shaft horsepower Platt Whitney Canada PT6A-45R turboprop engine that drives a pair of Hartzel five-blade reversible metal propellers with constant pitch.

The empty weight of the AT-802 is a terrifying 3200 kg, that is, more than three tons, while its carrying capacity is more powerful, with a maximum take-off weight of 6600 kg, a speed of 280 km / h, and a limit speed of 360 km / h.

The reason why Qin Shiou made up his mind to buy this kind of aircraft was because he saw a piece of news when he was searching for these models: The US Southern Command purchased a series of AT-802 armed and improved AT-802U to carry out anti-guerrilla, anti-riot, anti-narcotics, anti-smuggling, and anti-terrorist missions in South America.

Qin Shiou studied the news, and learned from a forum that the AT-802 was originally developed as a military aircraft, and it is very suitable for armed modification, as long as it is modified to the state of monitoring missions, it can be equipped with optical, optoelectronics, infrared thermal imaging, night vision, synthetic aperture radar pods and other equipment.

If it is modified to an armed attack state, it can carry 8,000 pounds of bombs, can be mounted with laser, radio and television, infrared weapon fire control pods, mounted with 2 GAU-193 tube 12.7mm Gatling machine guns, 2 BPW "border protection weapons" precision-guided glide bombs, 4 Hellfire missiles, 16 Lockheed Martin drag laser-guided rockets or M2607 tube uncontrolled rocket nests, MK82-250 pounds laser-guided bombs 2 pieces......

If it is modified to install protective equipment, it can install armor for the cockpit and engine, can install cockpit bulletproof glass, self-sealing fuel tank, optional AAR-47/ALE-47 self-defense system, helmet sight, and additional fuselage fuel tank......

In that case, what is there to hesitate about? If you don't buy this kind of mass murder, then what to buy? (To be continued......)
