Be patient. Gather evidence, and skeptics of the “aerial spraying of something” will come around. At least now we have identified a previously unknown fleet of “tankers” without booms that could be getting used for it.

Note that the patent shows a two-deck aircraft that looks like an old, shorter model 747. https://patents.google.com/patent/US7819362B2/en

I was wondering where all those aircraft went. I was assuming they had all been scrapped. It appears they may have been structurally refurbished and re-purposed. This same process is used when a commercial aircraft is converted into a tanker or when a special purpose transport aircraft is created for hauling pieces of other aircraft such as was done for the Boeing 787.

The company responsible for 787 part transport aircraft (747 LCF) was Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corp, based out of Taiwan or Singapore, I believe. I wonder if they are connected? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Dreamlifter
