Norwest Air Charters was based in Smithton in the 60's and 70's. They operated Cessna 180's and wrote off at least one or two per year. Their strip's were pretty difficult.
Back in those days, C180 endorsements were lumped into a group, C180/182/185. They use to advertise for pilots and employ low experienced pilots with a C182 endorsement. Then the owner would check them out in the180 and them turn them loose in and out of these horrendous strips. With the weather experienced around that area, it usually wasn't long before a 180 was upended. They also never had the rear seat fitted, they use to use old aircraft tyres to sit people on, so they could carry more passengers!
