The Piper PA-25 Pawnee is a single-seat agricultural aircraft that Piper built between 1959 and 1981. It grew out of the AG-3, a design Texas A&M University developed with consultant Fred Weick using as many PA-18A and PA-22 parts as possible, and it was renamed the PA-25 when Weick joined Piper at Vero Beach. Production started at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania in May 1959 and ended there in March 1981 after 5,167 aircraft. Successive Pawnee B, C and D models added bigger hoppers and engines, and the type is still widely used for crop spraying and for towing gliders and banners. The design rights were sold to Latino Americana de Aviación of Argentina in 1988.
