Jim Cottingham bought Petty Flying Service, an aerial application firm that started as part of the American Dusting Company, from Virgil Petty in 1973. Located in Munday, Texas, 75 miles north of Abilene, the business had two airplanes, airport, office, loading facility and hangar. Jim built the operation up to one turbine Air Tractor and four Cessnas that were used on the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Program.
Today the business is run by his son, Ryan. Ryan is the pilot as well as the owner. We still have the main base in Munday, with a satellite base in Seymour. The business now has one turbine Air Tractor 602. The plane is equipped with the latest GPS guidance technology, including moving map and flow control. With this equipment we are capable of making variable rate applications, brush sculpturing, and automatic boom control. Petty Flying Service also has an on-staff entomologist that consults on all aspects of row crop production. We also offer various degrees of precision farming, mapping services and custom brush application. We are the only business in the area to offer these services.
