Any tail-dragger operators out there...?
Wondering if anyone knows of any commercial operators still operating any taildraggers for commercail ops in AUS or NZ, and what a/c types they.
|
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.

A few 180/185 operators around NZ. Mt Cook Ski Planes and Canterbury Aviation are the only two I can think of at the moment.
|
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 :rolleyes: |
Southern DC3 (out of NZCH or NZAS typically).

There are a few skydive outfits use Porters around the place. Makarora Air or whatever they call themselves use a 185.

Oberon Air out of Albury has been operating a BirdDog for low level patrol work for quiet a few years now.,.,
Smoothie., :ok: |
could you tell me about specific operators names and a/c whether it be ag or commercial ops cheers!

Why?
Why do you want to know newbie? |
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. |
Curtis Aviation
As mentioned above, Curtis operate a number of tail-draggers as follows:
- C180: Mostly for fire spotting; - Citabria: Flight training/joy flights; - Tiger Moth: Mainly joy flights; - Pitts: Joy flights and aerobatics training; - Harvard: Cross hired for joy flights. |
