From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conroy Aircraft was a US aircraft manufacturer founded by Jack Conroy in Goleta, California in 1965 on the sale of Aero Spacelines. The company imitated Aero Spacelines' success with its Guppy aircraft by converting a Canadair CL-44 to carry oversized cargo as the Conroy Skymonster. It then tried to make a name for itself in turboprop conversions to aircraft such as the Cessna Skymaster (as the Stolifter), Douglas DC-3 (as the Turbo Three), and Grumman Albatross (as the Turbo Albatross), but none of these progressed past the prototype stage.
