Where are the GA-8 Airvans?

[huntsman]

I figured these Airvan jobbies would take the world by storm. Where are they operating? I heard that there's one out Kununurra way, but where else?
They keep advertising them, and they were supposed to be doing freight in Tassie, but I've heard not much at all.
Where are they?

Trevor Wright has one at William Creek.

and Air Ngukurr don't operate one anymore, we leased the Wrightsair owned one for a few months earlier this year.

There's another one operating down in Indonesia. VH-BJY was sent to Satmarindo around March this year. It stopped by asian aerospace enroute.

GAs are good quality aircraft. They're all hand built!

Aligator has 2, while Slingair has 1.

From what I hear, they are not much fun for pilots, and they tend to make the punters airsick.

Who decides to build an aeroplane of that size without rudder trim anyway???

Dave, getting amongst it yet?

Sorry about missing that beer, but I was on a tight schedule.
