Fleet of Eight Aircraft Ensures Reliable, On Time Acquisition
Midwest Aerial owns a fleet of eight (8) aircraft which gives us the capacity to fly several projects simultaneously or assign multiple aircraft to a single project. This fleet also gives us redundancy, enabling us to assign a back-up aircraft to a project in cases where the primary aircraft is grounded for maintenance.
Our fleet includes three single-engine Cessna 206s, two twin-engine Piper Aztecs, a twin-engine AeroCommander 500s, and two twin-engine Cessna 310Rs. We typically deploy the twins for large format digital imaging projects with our Z/I Imaging DMC II cameras due to their faster speeds and heavier payload capacity.
