Cresco Top Dressing - King of Low and Slow!!

Post by Andyph »

Spreading lime - a ton at a time.

The Aircraft is a NZ built Cresco.

Hopefully a bit different

The aircraft lands uphill - stops by the hopper - gets filled up in a few seconds, turns round and takes off down hill. Well oiled machine.

The aircraft is only in the air a couple of minutes and then reloads

you can see the hopper in the background of this pic

Taken from Totara View looking South

Saw it flying locally earlier in the day - saw where it was operating on FR24 and thought I'd take a jolly to see if I could get a good place to watch.
