GARFIELD, WA- The Managing Director, Rob boschen, of AG AIR-WORK GROUP in Stawell, Victoria Australia contacted Doran Rogers at Cascade Aircraft Conversions in Febuary of 2006 asking for information on the Walter conversion for one their S2R Thrush's. Their company operates 10 aircraft and have 7 satellite airports that they operate. The state of Victoria has been in a drought for at least 10 years, so crop spraying isn't as good as they would like, but with the well diversified area that they cover, they are able to maintain a pretty good average. In January of 2006 a lightning fire caused 46% of the Grampians National Forest to burn. Putting two of their A.T. 802's to work wasn't a problem because the fire was just off the end of the runway at Stawell. Some of the crops that they spray are Rice, Wheat, & Cotton. They also spray and fertilize the Gum tree plantations that are harvested for paper pulp. In August of 2006, Doran & Sandy Rogers flew to Australia to help the Ag Airwork mates put the new conversion on one of the Thrush aircraft. The conversion was air freighted to Melbourne, all complete and ready to bolt on the firewall except for attaching the prop, blades, and spinner, the instrument panel, and other necessary attachments. No worries, the crate that Cascade built with the conversion weighte 2,800 lbs. but this insured that the conversion arrived in great shape. The group in Australia was a great crew to work with and we would go back there again. It was a really beautiful countryand the people are wonderful. --- Sandy Rogers
