Aero Commander (aircraft manufacturer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aero Commander was an aircraft manufacturer, a subsidiary of Rockwell International formed in October 1960 when that company purchased the Aero Design and Engineering Company of Oklahoma.
Their most well known project was the namesake Aero Commander, a design used most notably as a US presidential transport.
Ag Commander was a brand name used by Aero Commander for their line of agricultural aircraft. Two unrelated aircraft were marketed under this name: the CallAir A-9, sold as the Ag Commander A-9 and B-9, and the Ayres Thrush (aka the Snow S-2), sold as the Ag Commander S-2. Both aircraft were originally the products of smaller manufacturers that Aero Commander had purchased. The Ag Commander brand was dropped when Rockwell dissolved the Aero Commander division around 1970.
