The path to Darren Davison’s career in the air began with his feet planted firmly on terra firma, amid the craggy ranges of Central Otago.
It takes a certain type of mind and mettle to oversee a dynamic helicopter operation specialising in traditional services – let alone one that’s also pioneering progressive new initiatives.
He watched the fixed-wing top dressers fly overhead one month, and, by the next, Ben Robinson booked his first flying lesson, and was sitting in the cockpit himself.
Aviation runs in Matt Kerr’s blood. While his love of aircraft started with watching his Dad run a Piper Cub BPA up and down the South Island’s West Coast, fixed wings ultimately lost out to helicopters.
