About the A-9
The Callair A-9 is a single-engine agricultural aircraft featuring a braced low-wing layout and mixed construction. It suits specialized crop-dusting and utility roles, accommodating a single pilot behind a chemical hopper.
Derived from previous light utility designs by the Call Aircraft Company, the type entered production following corporate acquisitions. Manufacture of the aircraft subsequently transitioned through several corporate owners and international joint ventures before ending production.
