Kiwi Ag pilots loved em cause they has a cigarette lighter and a heater, also a landing light for sneaking home late
I know of one fella would come home, clean up, and roar off again into the night to visit his popsie about a 100 miles away. One night the unthinkable happened. It stopped.
He switched on his light just in time to see a big Jersey cow filling the windscreen.
The farm lights come on , farmer gets shotgun and rounds up young fella climbing over fence.
"Aha, hands up yer bastard, yer the one been rustling me cows!"
"No mate I just landed me plane in yer paddock"
Much more comedy with cops being called etc..
Another fella borrowed a C180 to visit his popsie at night . Perfect landing on unlit airfield followed by a smooth roll through into a storm drain.
Exit NZ very quick smart.
There wasnt a month go by it seemed something was happening with a 185.
A lot perished in them and they got an unfair reputation in Ag circles as "The Widowmaker"
