NAAA Support Committee Events at Ag Aviation Expo
We look forward to seeing you at the 2026 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo in Savannah, GA, Nov. 16-18. The NAAA Support Committee has organized several fun events at the Ag Aviation Expo for spouses/significant others, family members, and office crew. Support committee events are designed for anyone in a support role in the industry, such as office staff, working loaders, and family members.
Monday, Nov. 16: Sip, Savor & Socialize (Reservations required) 11:30 a.m.– 2:30 p.m. Join us at the Pirates’ House, one of Savannah’s most iconic and historic restaurants, for a delicious Southern lunch buffet. After lunch, sit back and enjoy a 90-minute guided shuttle tour through the charming streets of historic Savannah. Take in the city’s stunning architecture, moss-draped oak trees, and rich history as you explore one of the South’s most beautiful destinations. Limited spots remain. A $25 fee applies. Reserve your spot while registering for the Ag Aviation Expo by emailing information@agaviation.org. Sponsored by GarrCo Products Inc.
Wednesday, Nov. 18: Athena Project Presentation (no RSVP required) 9:30–11:00 a.m. This year’s Athena Project presentation, “Cleared for Take-Off” — Building a Successful Season, will provide practical guidance to help aerial application businesses prepare for the upcoming season. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge to enhance operational readiness and position their businesses for success. The program covers information beneficial to anyone working in the industry and their family members.
Developed by Athena presenters and committee members, this program offers valuable information for everyone involved in agricultural aviation. Whether you’re a spouse, office team member, or part of the crew, you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, and practical advice for supporting and strengthening our industry. All are invited. Sponsored by Chuck Holzwarth Flying Service.
Wednesday, Nov. 18: NAAREF Relationship Drift (no RSVP required) 3:00–5:00 p.m. The Relationship Drift Session will look at how personal relationships affect pilot decision-making and safety. Men and women should attend this session together, including couples and office crew. This is similar in format to the popular Compaass Rose program, but instead of better facilitating relationships between inexperienced pilots and more experienced operators, the new session is designed to facilitate relationships between operators/pilots and their spouses or significant others and office crew. All are invited! Sponsored by Rotorcraft Repair & Manufacturing LLC.
