On March 26, Air Tractor sold their 4,000th airplane - an Air Tractor 502XP (a single-seat agricultural aircraft).
“After 49 years of continuous production of airplanes, all of us here are really pleased to celebrate this moment,” said Jim Hirsch, Air Tractor president.
“Only eight years ago we built our 3,000th airplane, now we just surpassed number 4,000. This year we find ourselves in the fortunate position to have historically strong demand for our aircraft. While we are subject to agricultural market ups and downs, our manufacturing continues year after year on a rising trend line.”
