Ya know, Beechcraft isn’t exactly a poster child of an all-American company. It’s owned by a Canadian group, and the T-6 Texan is actually a Swiss design, the PC-9, built under licence.

Not completely true.

Hawker Beechcraft is 49% owned by Oynx (who also own Spirit Aerosystems)

49% owned by Goldman Sachs

and 2% owned by executives.

So that would mean a slight majority is US owned.

But hey...the other 49% is Canadian....who are pretty much our Northern proxy anyway....
