Last week, the Mississippi Agricultural Aviation Association (MAAA) witnessed Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves sign The Mississippi Aviation Safety Act, which requires existing and newly constructed towers to be registered with the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) database and also the MAAA.

The Snow Aeronautical model S-2A, built in 1959, was one of the earliest ag airplanes designed and built by Leland Snow, the late founder of Air Tractor, Inc. Last week, the S-2A arrived at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum, where it will live permanently in the National Agricultural Aviation Museum exhibit. The S-2A will be stored until the museum is ready to place the aircraft in the museum’s agricultural aviation exhibit area.
