NAAA thanks the many companies that support ag pilots and their operations, as well as the industry as a whole, through donating items for the Live and Silent Auctions at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo. The money raised from these items supports NAAA programs and we’re still seeking additional items to make this auction a record breaker!

The Silent Auction, in booth #441, will be open on the NAAA Trade Show floor during Trade Show hours and until 3 p.m. (staggered closing of silent auction items begins at 2 p.m.) on Wednesday, Dec. 5. NEW THIS YEAR! text bidding for the Silent Auction. Beginning Sunday, Dec. 2 at 12 p.m. PT, text NAAA to 71760 from your mobile device and follow the directions to bid. Text bidding allows you to set an auto bid (let the system bid for you up to a certain amount) while you walk the NAAA Trade Show Floor and attend sessions. The system will also text you when you've been outbid. For questions onsite, please visit the Silent Auction booth #441. For questions in advance of the show, email naaaexpo@agaviation.org. Bid early and often!
