Founded 1958 in Wichita Falls, Texas, Leland Snow became Air Tractor president. Derived from the S2B he had designed and built in the fifties, Snow started design work on a new cropduster. In 1972 he obtained a small business loan, rented a building back in Olney and started to build jigs and tooling for what was to become the Air Tractor AT-300 – a conventional layout crop-duster powered by a Pratt and Whitney R-985-AN1 of 450hp.
