The Fletcher FU-24 started out as a utility aircraft before becoming a popular agricultural aircraft in New Zealand. Over half a century of development saw it evolve into a turboprop utility aircraft as the PAC 750XL. The Falco 3000 is an agricultural aircraft based on the 750XL as history repeats. ZK-SWA has been adapted for geophysical survey, again like some agricultural FU-24s were in the 1960s. There have been at least five Falco 3000 conversions.
