ABOUT OUR SPRAY COMPANY

OUR OPERATION

About Us

Our operation is based near the town of Fannystelle, MB. It is collocated on a private farm. The operation has a full infrastructure with a main hangar and office area. There is also a partially graveled/grassed runway, 2650 feet in length.


Presidio Aerial Inc. is a Transport Canada registered commercial company.  We are fully insured with a clean record and continually keep up-to-date with all major agriculture issues and technology.


We spray only those chemicals that are registered for aerial use.  We do herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide.  We do not offer chemical resale.


We currently operate one AT 301 and two Cessna 188s.  Having three aircraft has given us the flexibility that when an aircraft needs to be in the hangar for routine maintenance or inspections, we can continue operations.

OUR PILOTS

Colin Craddock

Pilot & Owner

Colin has accumulated over 23,000 hours of various flying, during the last 42 years. He has been involved in agriculture most of his life and started aerial spraying in the early 1980s. He flew for the Canadian military for almost twenty seven years (full time/part-time), and works for a major airline flying the Airbus 320, during the periods when spray operations subside.


As owner/operator, Colin believes in upholding the highest professional standards in all aspects of aerial work. Also as a farm owner himself, he understands the high costs associated with various crops and believes in maximizing the most value for the farmer.


Colin is a longtime Winnipeg resident, with strong ties to Manitoba. He has three children and has been blessed to be married to his wife Monica for over thirty six years.
