Hi there, my old boss has that 402, very pleased with it. Only about 5 402s and 502s here. We do very little aerial spraying in nz. Our main trade is spreading soild fert and lime on to very hilly farms that can't be done with trucks. NZ and Aussie I think are only countries that do this.We fly off airstrips that are usually downhill ie down a ridge so that we can take off down and get speed up fast and we land up the strip.Great for slowing down.Once you get the hang of it its easier than landing on the flat!
Mainly fu24 Fletchers 1 tonne loads, turbine fu24 1.3 tonne and Crescos 2 tonne do the bulk of the work.Plus some Ga200 fatman.Agwagons are nearly finished here as too small.
I fly Fu24, not good to fly and ugly as but they can really get through the work.Can send photo if you want.
