rotormandan Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I know I've seen some folk on here the over the last couple of years. I grew up in Chelan, WA. I've been in San Diego and NC for the past few years and I just moved back. I'm just wondering if any of you are still here and what kind of flying are you doing?

rotormandan Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I flew cherries in Brewster this last summer. Been to Hungry Belly in Chelan quite a few times. Yummy! It sure is pretty up there. Z That's great. The Belly was my first (legal) job when I was 14. It was called Dagwoods then. Who did you fly with in Brewster doing cherries? I'm hoping to find my way into an ag operation this year. Edited March 13, 2009 by rotormandan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking to get into some drying and even possibly some Ag work, you could always put in a resume with Golden Wings Aviation located on the Brewster airport. They are always looking for S55 pilots to train for cherries. They also do spraying in the S55's, and if everything lines up, they may be willing to at least provide a bit of training. No guarantees though. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met some nice folks and saw some neat machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
