Four statesOne allianceSince 2008
The pilots who keep the Northwest growing.
Bringing ag pilots, operators and allied industry together for annual recertification, training and trade — across Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana.
What the alliance does
One show. Every credit you need.
The PNWAAA was established to bring Northwest aerial applicators together for an annual recertification. Directors from each state sit on the board, so the show reflects what operators in this region actually need.
Trade show
Aircraft, dispersal equipment, GPS, insurance and chemistry — the people who supply this industry, in one hall.
Representation
Board members from Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana, plus allied industry directors.
Recognition
Operator of the Year and Industry Appreciation awards, plus the Fallen Pilot silent auction.
The work
As diverse as the landscape we fly over.
Whether protecting Columbia Basin cherries, Okanogan Valley apples, Idaho potatoes or Montana wheat, Pacific Northwest aerial applicators are there to assist ag producers. We also fight fires, harvest Christmas trees, aid the timber industry in the production of lumber, and help rehabilitate public lands devastated by fire.
Today’s aerial applicator is a professional from many perspectives — operating modern turbine aircraft and helicopters equipped with precision GPS and the latest aircraft-specific dispersal apparatus. We are committed to the highest level of safety and professionalism where application quality, good environmental stewardship and cutting-edge equipment are concerned.
25%
of all crop protection — and nearly 100% of forest protection — is applied by air.
