John Deere

[IP076]

Just wondering what kind of aircraft John Deere operates in their flight department?

I've done a search and all I found was two old posts about a GV and hiring, and a few with a "you might be a redneck pilot if" theme.

Are they only based in MLI or do they have an airplane elsewhere?

2- C650's
1- GV

The GV and Challenger are both gone. They have a Citation X and maybe 1 or 2 C650's.

...another odd flight department. They had one of the best chief pilots in the business, Scott Lucas, but they threw him under the bus for no discernable reason ( as opposed to Coke, who got rid of Don for good reason).

JD had 2 C650's on the ramp here at CMI last fall for the Farm Progress Show.

I saw one of John Deere's Citations on the ramp in Fargo a few days ago painted white with John Deere green trim, yuk. IPO76, if I had a dollar every time I heard "two November Delta" on the radio I'd of retired long ago. Must be a UND grad.

Stay away! Stay FAR away! They are a country club group of pilots that you do NOT want to be a part of. Very disfunctional group.
