yzchopper Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Does anyone know of any operators in the Northwest that uses the R44 for cropdusting? What model of R44 do they use? I've seen and used mainly the Hiller 12E, 206A/B and Bell 47. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandace Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 This isn't the Northwest but I know an operator here in Wisconsin that has two R44's for ag work. One is an Astro and the other a Raven 2. Kandace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzchopper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have heard of and seen a few videos of those using R44's around that area. I was just curious if there were any in the Northwest. Thanks I do appreciate the reply. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzchopper Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well looks like I may end up flying ag work this summer using the Alouette II instead of the R44. Thanks for the reply Kandace. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sweeet! Take some pics and vids, the Alouette II is suppose to be pretty much the best ag ship made!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzchopper Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 If all pans out and I do fly the Alouette II you bet I will get photos and video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Lift Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I just got a job with an operator in New England that flies 44's in the cranberry bogs. Spraying and lifting work! Seems like it works pretty well for it. Season starts in the next two weeks, I'm excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam32 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 If all pans out and I do fly the Alouette II you bet I will get photos and video. Actually, I'm curious who has an Alouette that has its airworthiness cert still...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
