Those prospects will definitely be there for those who chasethem Cecil. There are definitely fewer aircraft as the average hopper size is now much larger than it was even five years ago. There are very few new pilots training and the average age is over 50. There is a very bright future for a young starter to get into an 800 gallon machine very quickly. That's a good prospect I reckon.

The fertiliser work has been fading for many years and it's a given that the writing is on the wall there. The future is in the larger machines treating high value crops and flying fires during bad seasons such as the one we are now entering.
