Save the Date for the Ag Aviation Expo Taking Place Nov. 17-19, 2025 in Reno, Nevada

Join us in Reno, Nevada the full week before Thanksgiving for the 2025 Ag Aviation Expo! Be sure to mark your calendar now for the annual convention taking place November 17-19 at the Atlantis and Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Many people think of Reno, and they think of casinos, but there is much more to this fast-growing city. The Midtown District is home to many local bars with live music, offering local artists’ murals and each offers a unique atmosphere. If you’re a fan of live music and theatre shows, there is something for you, too, as Reno has many entertainment venues offering year-round acts. If food is the key to your happiness, the Atlantis (NAAA’s headquarters hotel) has many award-winning dining options, and you won’t need to leave the hotel. Also, the convention center is connected by a beautiful bridgeway. But, if you want to get out and about, there are many fine dining and casual options; some even offer heated patio dining.

The Flying in the Wire and Obstruction Environment course will take place on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Atlantis. The course will be taught by Utilities/Aviation Specialists Inc., providing mission-specific expertise in specialized applications that require skill sets above those found in most routine transport operations. Both fixed-wing and helicopter pilots will benefit from this course. It gives low-altitude aviators the essential skills needed to operate an aircraft in wire and obstruction environments safely. Learn how to identify signs of wires, why ag aviators hit wires they already knew were there, and how to avoid them going forward. This course may very well save your life – don’t miss it. Pricing and registration will be available in July. Learn more about Utilities/Aviation Specialists Inc. at www.helicoptersafety.com.
