Before rockwell sold to ayres, it was called a thrush. Came as a 300, 301 and 401. designed by a texan bloke named Snow.
I have flown the 301, and we only ever called it a thrush.

wigga,

Your photo is YUSL - to quote a high profile Liberal politician, there is a rock solid, iron clad guarantee on that one!

Cheers.

Hi all,

I only just realised that this post has been going for just over a year, one of the quickest years in my life and there has been some great photos and guessing games going on, keep them coming,

have fun. JB

Best thread on all of PPRUNE in my opinion.

Thanks for starting it.

J:ok:

Flown a Thrush when it was callled a Snow

Mr Pratt 1340 an NO BLOODY FLAPS :ooh:

Hey Tinny........ ya big girls blouse. :} what do ya need flaps for with three acres of wing and that great big roundy out front, with Full fine on that great big paddle prop?. :E

Remember the Bull Thrush-big brother motor bilong 1430r
x airforce chappie in Emerald used to drop one every now and then.

This is a snow, which became both the airtractor and the thrush. No such thing as thrush 301, though. Airtractor models were/are 301 through to 802. Thrush models all started with S2. The Rockwell Thrush Commander, later the Ayres Turbo thrush, started at 400gal hopper with p&W 1340, and have grown in size since.

This is a bull thrush, had the Wright 1820 in it, 500 gal hopper. Only 2 left in oz, the rest have been converted to turbines.:8

The AT301 was the one I was referring to. was always called a thrush by the bloke I was flying it for......and thus I also called it one. the other one he had was a tad bigger with a few better options, and it also was reffered to as a thrush. I'll dig out the Photos.

OK, upon further investigation, the 301 was manufactured by AIR TRACTOR INC, and the others were indeed S2R's manufactured by AYRES CORPORATION.

Haughtney...yup! ILSDME...back seat of a twinstar (pre-bbq) as someone said on another thread!!

Another one of my flights around a big red rock. Taken at sunset, shadow starting to get a bit bigger.

Sshhhhhhhhhhh TQ!

I reckon the bay just to the north of Coral Bay.

Is it in a baron?

James Russell, I hope you're not referring to The Rock when you mean flying into Alice Springs at sunset, because Ayers Rock is quite a long way from Alice, :ok:.
