A Gibbs Food Inc. project near Quarryville showed near 90 percent aphid kill, attracting more growers. A proposed base would be Gettysburg with an investment around $40 000. pilots Richard Case and others conducted spraying during a weeklong field test with helicopters from New England Helicopter Service.
