As Olney, Texas-based Air Tractor wraps up its 50th anniversary year, the company reflects on its history of innovation, hard work, and community support, honoring the contributions of employees, dealers, suppliers, and partners. The company released its 50th-anniversary documentary on YouTube last week.
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.
After two decades of NAAA advocacy, FAA proposes requirements for marking and logging locations of meteorological towers (METs). Specifically, this proposal applies to all existing, altered and new METs, with heights from 50 feet to 200 feet. The proposal is presently available for public comment in support of or in opposition of the proposed rule until January 17, 2025. NAAA is urging aerial applicators and state and regional ag aviation associations nationwide to comment in favor of this proposed rule.
As the year comes to an end, we hope you will consider a donation to support the National Agricultural Aviation Research & Education Foundation (NAAREF) programs, which includes PAASS and Operation S.A.F.E. NAAREF programs were designed and are succeeding in promoting safety and environmental professionalism to the aerial application industry.
Thank you for your support as a 2024 member of NAAA. We request your continued support by renewing your NAAA membership for 2025 today. While you have been busy aiding farmers to produce a safe, affordable, and abundant supply of food, fiber, and bioenergy, NAAA has been busy making sure low-altitude airspace is safe for your aerial application business to operate, as well as ensuring that you have the pesticide products you need to do your job.
