History
Rockwell International originally built the facility in 1965 and operated it until it was purchased by Ayres Corporation on 23 November 1977. In July 2001 Ayres filed for bankruptcy and the rights to the S-2 aircraft were passed to Quality Aerospace.[2] On 30 July 2003 Quality Aerospace transferred the type certificates of the S-2 to Thrush Aircraft.[3]
The company entered bankruptcy protection in September 2019 for the second time, intending to restructure and emerge in a better financial position. The company laid-off 113 employees as part of the process.[4]
