airport yeah

you hurting for rent Steve oh I'm

hurting for everything Mr Clampett my

planes and pieces and we work out of

advise of a retired airport General

where are you going we're going to

oversee Steve's crap does an airplane it

does crops with an airplane yeah you see

grounding you fly real low over a field

Steve I was playing to it she don't

understand Aeronautics like I you see

Granny airplanes got a fan up front

called a propeller spins around and

makes a big win understand

foreign

well anyway Steve flies low over the

fields and the Wind Blows the dust off

the crops that's what you call Crop dust

beautiful General

Mr Clampett if you like the idea of

buying out Uncle Joe I'm sure he'll be

amenable

I don't want to get him right

and as I think he'd like it and we could

call the new company Clampett Elliott

Enterprises wait a minute

I want it on that after all this here is

my pasture airport it's fine with me me

too Sam Drucker says that everything is

here man touches turns to gold well I

guess it's just a question of making the

financial Arrangements well why don't I
