Well, it might not be of any use at all but this operator in South Africa used to be very big in agricultural flying and survey.

If they don't do this any more they should at least be able to forward you on to someone who does. The most useful man to whom to speak is probably Captain CC, (no relation) an ex SAA skipper of some deserved renown, who still flies 727s while in his seventies.
Best of luck.

(Ducking down and keeping head as far below parapet as possible here).
There is another aviation forum, an African one, where a lot of really bad cases hang out, speaking abominable dialects and talking about women, beer,religion, sex, and so on. They're a friendly bunch, ask there.Ssshhhh:=

G'day kiwi ag.

Have a look at www.fieldair.com.au

Despite the drought, there are still jobs coming up.

Good luck.

PS why leave NZ? Everyone else is trying to get there.

Good luck in your search very dry here in oz might take a couple of good seasons to pick the work up again. Just wondering how you can have so many ag hours and not have any spraying time. Doesn't the ag ticket in kiwi land cover spraying. Excuse my ignorance never worked over there.:confused:

How do the seasons work over there all spreading by the sounds of it??
