1977 Schweizer Ag Craft Crop Duster in Dorchester Maryland

The Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, located in Horseheads, New York, was incorporated in 1939 by three Schweizer brothers, who built their first glider in 1930.

Primarily a manufacturer of sailplanes, agricultural aircraft and helicopters, Schweizer is now a diversified aerospace company. Previously the oldest privately owned aircraft company in the United States, Schweizer was acquired by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation of Stratford, Connecticut in 2004.

Schweizer produced the Grumman G-164 Ag Cat, a single-engine biplane agricultural aircraft originally developed by Grumman in the 1950s. Production between 1957 and 1981 was under a contract with Grumman.[4][5].

In 1981 Schweizer bought the rights to the design and continued production under the name Schweizer Ag Cat.

In 1995 Schweizer sold the rights to the Ag Cat to Ag-Cat Corp.

I'm a F-16 crewchief in the Alabama Air National Guard. Just thought that was kinda funny coincidence.

Flew a radial Cat that looked almost identical to this one for 4 seasons over in Arkansas a few years back....wish I was still doing it.

This is a great video! Thanks for sharing it. I first saw a Grumman Ag Cat in 1972 and ever since then I have wanted to ride in one! My dream will come true next Spring! I found a man who has one that has all of the spray equipment removed and a two seat cockpit installed where the spray tank was.I have never been so excited in my life! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
