Folks,
There was a recent supplement in Flight magazine covering the whole history of this company, and effectively tracing Brazilian aviation right back to Santos Dumont.
Contrary to a popular view, they did not "start" by building various Piper under license, but that program was very successful, with something above 2400 various Piper models built.
Their sprayer/duster must be one of the longest aircraft in continuous production of all time.
Tootle pip!!
