Passion for Aircraft and Gyrocopter Building
At KJ & DM Traeger Holdings P/L, aircraft building and repair have been more than just a business — they are a lifelong passion. Over the years, we have amassed a remarkable collection of over 10 aircraft and 6 gyrocopters. This journey began with a deep love for aviation, and now, after decades of experience, we are ready to pass on this legacy.

KJ & DM TRAEGER HOLDINGS P/L
As a 74-year-old aviation enthusiast, I have reached a point where maintaining and flying all these beautiful machines has become difficult. Despite my love for flying, it’s time to step back and let go of the collection I’ve spent a lifetime building. This decision has not been easy, but it’s essential to allow others to enjoy the fruits of this labor and passion.
