Christen Industries

Christen Industries was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Hollister, California and Afton, Wyoming.

[3] In 1982, the company acquired Aerotek, moved to Afton, Wyoming and continued production of the Pitts Special alongside the Christen Eagle II kits.

[4][5] The company then designed and manufactured the Christen Husky A-1 utility aircraft.

In 1990, the company was the subject of a lawsuit claiming that the design of their aircraft was responsible for the death of a pilot.

[6] Christen Industries was, in turn, bought by Aviat Aircraft, Inc. in 1991, who continued both product lines.
