Public understanding of agricultural aviation can lag behind reality. For those within the industry, aerial application is a vital, precise, and environmentally responsible part of modern agriculture, but that message doesn’t always reach the public. Misconceptions can create unnecessary tension and even safety concerns for pilots in the field. However, many members are working to change that perception of the industry.

NAAA received notification that a member answered a call from a scammer stating that they were calling to collect money on behalf of NAAA. THIS IS A SCAM; DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING OVER THE PHONE FOR NAAA UNLESS YOU’RE CALLING OUR OFFICE DIRECTLY AT 202-546-5722.

The 11th Annual Ag Aviation Golf Tournament at the Red Apple Inn in Heber Springs, Arkansas, last month, was a tremendous success! Special thanks to former NAAA President Brenda Watts, who served as the association’s 50th president in 2016, for her outstanding organization and leadership in making the event such a success.
