Weatherly Aviation Company was an American agricultural aircraft manufacturer formed on 28 March 1961 in California. The company was formed by John C. Weatherley to modify surplus Fairchild M-62 Cornell military training aircraft for agricultural tasks.[1]
The prototype conversion was designated the WM-62C and over the next five years the company converted 19 aircraft.[1] When it became impossible to find any more Cornells to convert, Weatherley designed his own aircraft, the Weatherley 201.[1] Two prototypes were built and the type entered production in 1968.[1] An improved version, the Weatherly 620, was built from 1979; it had a higher gross weight that allowed it carry a larger chemical hopper for spraying.[1]
