Snow Aeronautical
Snow Aeronautical was an American aircraft manufacturer established in 1956 in Olney, Texas by Leland Snow to manufacture and market agricultural aircraft of his design.
History
Leland Snow, a graduate of the aeronautical engineering program at Texas A&M University, had designed and flown his S-1 in 1953. Originally working at Harlingen, Texas, he moved to Olney, Texas in 1958 where production of the S-2 began. The British aviation company of Britten-Norman acted as distributors for Snow's aircraft and later took a 17% equity stake in the company. In 1965 Snow Aeronautical was purchased by the Aero Commander division of North American Rockwell, who refined and marketed the S-2 design as the Rockwell S2R Thrush Commander.
