History

Aviat Aircraft Cessna 152

The company was founded in 1991 based on the history of the Call Aircraft Company and the product lines of the Pitts and Christen companies.[2][3] In 1995, the company was purchased by Stuart Horn and renamed Aviat Aircraft Incorporated.[4][5]

In 1999, Aviat purchased the rights to the Globe Swift with the intent on bringing the example back into production. A lawsuit between LoPresti's use of the design for the LoPresti Fury delayed entry of both aircraft from the market.[6]

The company also produces the Aviat 150 and Aviat 152. These are overhauled, rebuilt and painted Cessna 150 and Cessna 152s.[7]
