Sure are. Most Ag opperators use tail draggers. Cessna Agwagon, Air Tractor,Grummin Ag Cat, PZL Dromadere to name a few. The Department of Enviroment and Conservation (DEC) in WA have a fleet of American Champion Scouts for fire survallance.
Pay's have a couple of C185s as company run-abouts, Pratt in Kingaroy has 3 I think.
All the glider tugs I know of (Kingaroy, Warkworth, Camden) are Pawnees.
There is a BLANK in BLANK with a C185 and a PPL that he flies on Charter

Why can't he ask a question? It's up to others to decide whether to answer him or not.
And who says he's a noob? He may only have 2 posts, but he's been a member since October 2009.
Who made you King of Question Time?

Take a chill pill VT and have a lie down.
I am not denying anyone the right to ask a question. Surely I can ask a question as well?
Just want to know why, is that a crime? It might actually be helpful for up a creek if more background information is given.

Nothing wrong with asking questions. But why does he need to be labelled a "newbie" - with the obvious intonation that goes with it - for asking?
Maybe he's a tailwheel pilot looking for work.
Maybe he's been a member of these boards for a good amount of time who's used that time to read - and learn - rather than contribute his own posts.
Anyone who spends any amount time on bulletin boards knows the term "noob/newbie" can be implied as derogatory - that's what I took issue with, not with your right to ask the question.
I'll leave it at that.
