Who is Kelsy Reynolds on 'Tough as Nails'? Crop duster has A+ in aerial spray license exam

The third season of Tough as Nails is on the way and fans are eagerly waiting to learn more about the new contestants. One of the toughest competitors is Kelsy Reynolds, who is an owner-operator of a helicopter crop dusting business.

Although it looks like a cool job, flying a helicopter low and fast over terrain can be quite dangerous. And that is exactly what Reynolds does every day. While explaining what a typical day is like for her, she said:

“During spray season, I work from sun up to sun down, fill the helicopter with oil and fuel in morning and then make sure my maps and chemicals are set to have a productive day of helping farmers get their fields sprayed in a timely matter. Sitting in a helicopter for long days is worth it at the end of spray season!”

Her experience and skills are indeed praiseworthy and it would be interesting to see how she uses her professional skills on Tough as Nails.

Reynolds has an A+ in aerial spray license exam

In Reynolds’ bio on the network’s site, she described herself as a positive, energetic and fun person. The Tough as Nails contestant states that getting an A+ in her aerial spray license exam was a true sign from God that made her believe that she is on the right path.

Reynolds looks petite, but Tough as Nails host Phil Keoghan thinks people might be making a big mistake if they underestimate her for that, asserting that she is a lot tougher than she looks.

Addressing her looks, the 30-year-old crop duster said:

“I am competing for myself and all small females out there who think they are not mighty enough! You are all mighty!!”
