Dirt Cheap. Williams has five solid prospects waiting to sign up for his $175,000 anachronism, dozens of inquiries from prospective customers here and abroad. Dirt cheap to operate and maintain, the Bushmaster 2000 may well be used for years to come for short-haul cargo and passenger services, specialized operations such as crop spraying, fire fighting, timber dusting, exploratory and rescue work...

When the next generation of cargo planes begin arriving in 1970-including the Boeing 747, which will haul 2½ times the 45-ton capacity of the 707 freighter-passenger operations may well take the back seat...
