FSX Fletcher FU-24 Running a 550hp V8 engine. Approximately 100 Fu-24/ Fu-24A/ Fu24--950/ Fu-24-954s are currently active in New Zealand. The variety of powerplants and the 1052kg (2320lb) hopper capacity means the aircraft continues to be popular with operators. A number of aircraft have been exported (Australia, Canada, Iraq, Malaysia, Samoa, Turkey, and elsewhere). Some aircraft were also supplied to Bangladesh in the early 1970's as part of a Government aid program. As well as agricultural use, the aircraft has been used for frieght and passenger work (5 seats in place of the hopper), and even proposed as a COIN aircraft.
