In pic seven, why is sitting so tail low? Load or just up on front oleo? Nice pics by the way.

the third one for me, the shot of him climbing away with the tractor and fence sets it. Im sure photshop shadow highlight thingme will make it pop more. What a brilliant place to work.

I have been coping some of my slides across to digital this one probably taken in the late 90's.  |

Not a photo, but Cresco-related.
I see an ad in today's DomPost for a Cresco pilot for Griffin Ag-air based in Hawke's Bay.
So that's what Griffin's loader is doing parked outside Robin Langslow's hangar at Otane? If that's the case, what lives in the hangar on Waipuk airfield?
Is Robin still flying?

I think the industry will really struggle to find pilots in the future, both here and Aussie. Lot of the older experienced guys retired or getting ready to.

Not a Cresco, an old pic of Fletcher ZK-BIP that landed on Lord Howe Island near the local sports oval in 1968, runway wasn't built until 1974. The aeroplane had fuel issues and it was either somewhere on the island or ditching into the lagoon!  |

kwieldraayer - WOW. I love a loader driver with a camera, but those truly are something else. Is there any chance I could get hi-res copies of some of those, please?

Yes up until now the short fall has been off set with larger capacity aircraft. There is now only one dual Fletcher in NZ and an Ag rating is around $80k Thats assuming you already have the CPL with some hrs |
