en.Wedoany.com Reported - Air Tractor has delivered its 5,000th aircraft, an AT-502B produced at its Olney, Texas facility. The aircraft, serial number 502B-3619, was purchased by Brazilian customer Dorilino Prediger through a dealer and will join his aerial application fleet in Sorriso, Mato Grosso, which already includes three other Air Tractor aircraft.

Jim Hirsch, President of Air Tractor, stated that this achievement reflects the collective efforts of the employees who build the aircraft, the operators who use them, and the dealers who support customers worldwide. He began by mentioning the early radial engine models AT-300 and AT-301, noting that the product line has now expanded to eight turboprop models, and customers have consistently maintained confidence in both the aircraft and the company.

On May 28, Air Tractor held an event at its Olney headquarters to celebrate the delivery, which included speeches, lunch, facility tours, and photo opportunities with the aircraft. Public officials, community leaders, community representatives, and executives from Pratt & Whitney Canada attended the event.

The aircraft will ferry from Texas to Brazil, with stops including Cresson, Texas; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; St. George's, Grenada; Manaus, Brazil; and Cuiabá, Brazil, before arriving in Sorriso.
