Past, Present & Beyond
Alpine Airwork commenced operations in 1994 after taking over from ‘Alpine Aviation’ which was and still is located in a small town called Benambra in the Victorian High Country.
Alpine Aviation had been running since the 1960’s and were the pioneers of firebombing in Australia; which on February 6th 2017 celebrated 50 years of firebombing.
Alpine Airwork also took over from Alpine Aviation in servicing farmers for all their Aerial Agricultural requirements from the Victorian High Country to South Gippsland and beyond.
Alpine Airwork also got further into Fire Suppression and Fire Spotting with the purchase of a Dromader M18 Fire Bomber and a Maule Fixed Wing Aircraft configured for fire detection work. Later on purchasing a Cessna 172 XP which replaced the Maule.
