The Arocet AT-9 Stalker was a turboprop-engine tactical training aircraft developed in the United States in the late 1980s. It was a low-wing monoplane of composite construction with retractable tricycle undercarriage. The AT-9 was based on the Glasair III homebuilt aircraft, but added a turboprop engine and underwing weapons stations. The single prototype (registration N253LC) was the only example built, and was destroyed in a fatal crash on 23 May 1989.
