Dusting in Africa

[bushbum]

Hey, I am looking for some information for a friend of mine regarding fixed wing crop dusting / aerial application. What is the market like down there for pilots, and are there many operators. If Anyone has an info on companies who would hire a Canadian spray pilot, please let me know.

This person has +500 hours spray experience.

Thanks.

There's Orsmond and Boland who are both big operators as well as a number of smaller guys who you can try. I'll see if I can find some contact details to post on the forum but you might try those two names in a net search. Other options are in Zambia and neighbouring countries but Mozambique and Zim are a little slow as far as I know.

Good luck...
