Ag Flying in Ontario

I am looking for information on Ag flying in Ontario. How many operators are in Ontario, aircraft used etc. I am interested in flying as an Ag pilot, but wish to locate in Ontario. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I know of two...

General Airspray out of Lucan, Ontario flys 6 Ag-Cats (mainly forestry herbicide work) and 4 PA18A's (Supercubs) for recon and winter/spring seeding (also forestry).

There is another outfit and I can't think of their name...but St. Thomas, Ontario and M-18's seem to ring a bell.

The other operator is Hick and Lawrence in St. Thomas. They do forestry as well as crops.

Good luck

Actually...it's not Hicks and Lawrence...they sold their spray planes a couple of years ago...I think the other company down the St. Thomas way is Martindales but I'm not sure.

Yes it is the Martaindales Bob is the owner (i think), they operate about 12 M18s, some Ag Cats, thrushes and ag trucks. they do operate out of St Thomas ONT. If you get on there,see if they still have C-FYSU.

good luck
