Mackay Helicopter Operators

Looking for a mate who flys choppers ag-spraying in the Mackay area, but have no idea what the name of the company he works for is. I know he flys a Soloy turbine converted Bell 47, was just wondering if anyone knows what outfits operate that kind of gear up there?
Thanks in advance

I think there is an operator based out of Marian or Mirani west of Mackay. They did have a Soloy B47, but it had an interview with a wire a year or so ago. I believe they also have a Jetranger that does the mossie spraying jobs for the Mackay Regional council.

I cant remeber any names :ugh:, but im pretty sure they are based at a farm somewhere near Eton. I was under the impression the turbine bell 47 was still flying, I think they have a bell 205 too
