Second Annual Tylor Johnson Golf Tournament Raises Funds for Pilot Safety

The second annual Tylor Johnson Golf Tournament was held on Monday bringing together the Grand Forks, North Dakota and aerial application communities to honor Tylor Johnson’s legacy and advance the mission of keeping pilots safe. The Johnson family raised money through the golf tournament and a silent auction.

Tylor Johnson was a third-generation aerial applicator whose life was cut short in 2023 after his airplane struck a guy wire. It was a harsh reminder of the dangers aerial applicators face daily. In the wake of this tragedy, the Tylor Johnson Legacy Foundation was established to honor Tylor’s memory, advocate for increased safety measures that protect other pilots, and continue his legacy of care and commitment to the community.

You can help keep Tylor’s legacy alive by donating to the Tylor Johnson Legacy Foundation. When you donate $40 or more, you will receive an exclusive Safer Skies t-shirt as a thank you for your support. All proceeds go directly to initiatives that protect aerial applicators and you can help build safer skies and carry forward a lasting legacy in Tylor Johnson’s name.
