Soaring Across Generations

It all started in 1973

…with a Cessna 188 we purchased for $23,000. Our application was primarily insecticide (90%) and fungicide (10%).

Since we took our first swath in 1973, we have been here to empower crop and land managers with the tools, technology and aerial solutions they need to get the job done right. Each season and weather pattern comes with a new set of challenges that can be solved with our crew on your team. We invite you to learn more about our aerial application services.
