Kerry owns Westrac the WA CATERPILLAR dealer.

Most WA traffic is mining related.

There is a lot of light and seriously heavy earthmoving gear in the mining industry.

Cat have serious competitors in Komatsu, Liehbherr, etc, etc.

Mining types would prefer jets to turboprop.

It would not hurt Kerry/Westrac if he was to upgrade the services.
