The company was founded in 1991 based on the history of the Call Aircraft Company and the product lines of the Pitts and Christen companies.[2][3] In 1995, the company was purchased by Stuart Horn and renamed Aviat Aircraft Incorporated.[4][5]
In 1999, Aviat purchased the rights to the Globe Swift with the intent on bringing the example back into production. A lawsuit between LoPresti's use of the design for the LoPresti Fury delayed entry of both aircraft from the market.[6]
