About Thrush Aircraft:

The company's storied heritage began when North American Rockwell purchased the product line of Snow Aeronautical. Rockwell then put its world-class engineering and manufacturing skills to work, and the results were nothing short of amazing.

The first Rockwell ag plane was test flown in 1966. Even though it only carried a 400-gallon hopper, the aircraft contributed to the long, colorful history of crop dusting, and helped lead the transition to larger hoppers and more powerful engines.

In March 1970, Rockwell moved the entire product line from Olney, Texas to Albany, Georgia. By late 1973, the original 400 was in such demand that Rockwell increased the production rate to one airplane per day, which was unprecedented at the time. Later, in the 1970s, Rockwell sold production rights for their agricultural aircraft to Ayres Corporation and success continued for several years. Eventually, however, that success began to wane and new product development slowed. The company grew quiet.

Twenty-six years later, a forward-thinking businessman from Atlanta purchased the assets of the then defunct Ayres Corporation, renamed the company Thrush Aircraft. A strong growth cycle ensured – including the introduction of several innovations in both the agricultural and aerial firefighting markets. In the fall of 2019, leadership of the company transitioned to a new team led by industry veteran Mark McDonald. Bringing some 75 years of combined aviation experience to the company. Mr. McDonald and his partners have set their sights on increasing the company's capability and capacity even more, and positioning the Thrush brand for continued long-term grown and success.

With a well-rounded management team now in place, a solid product line, and a wealth of experience in all areas of manufacturing and support, Thrush Aircraft is now set for an even brighter future ahead.
