Havoc at the Hangar: Wrestling Dual at the Ag Aviation Hangar Makes Headlines

Nebraskaland Aviation owners Tye and Aimee Marquardt, NAAA operator members, hosted “Havoc at the Hangar” in Holdrege, NE, on Friday, December 13, to help the local high school wrestling team with a unique, cutting-edge format and to promote positive awareness of the aerial application industry. As dedicated supporters of Holdrege High School Dusters athletics and with a son on the wrestling team, the Marquardts embraced coach’s idea of having a match in their hangar. This led to Nebraska’s first-ever wrestling dual held in an ag aircraft hangar. The event featured a purple and black wrestling mat beneath low lights—just like traditional duals—set up next to the Air Tractor 602, used by Nebraskaland Aviation for crop spraying throughout the season. The event, which now they hope to become an annual tradition, captured the attention of local media and is generating excitement across the state.
