Make NAAA’s Auction Awesome Again! Support NAAA with an Auction Donation!

The 2020 Ag Aviation Expo Live & Silent Auctions are looking for auction donations; can we count on you? Join us Dec. 7–10 in Savannah, Georgia, as we celebrate the end of 2020! Help us make this year’s auction an unmitigated success and use it to spotlight your company to the aerial application industry! Companies that donate to the NAAA auctions have an opportunity to get their company name, brand, and positive image in front of attendees on-site and through thousands of readers of Agricultural Aviation magazine!


The Live and Silent Auctions support NAAA programs and services to aerial applicators. The earlier you inform us of your auction donation, the more advertising you will receive on the NAAA website and in NAAA publications. Support NAAA and the aerial application industry by donating an auction item!

Click here to download a donation form or email all of your donation details to lbarber@agaviation.org. Big-ticket items are reserved for the Live Auction, with smaller items are allocated for the Silent Auction. A few final determinations are made onsite once all the offerings have been inventoried. Please include the value of your item.

Thank you to Pratt & Whitney Canada for already committing to donating yet another PT6-34AG engine to this year’s NAAA Live Auction. Potential buyers need to supply a letter of credit to NAAA. The value of the engine is $535,661. The engine build specification (BS) is 1334, used on the Air Tractor, Thrush and Turbine Conversions STC. The winning bidder is required to pay $20,000 down onsite and remainder of payment is due within 30 days. We appreciate Pratt & Whitney Canada’s continued support and generosity to NAAA and the aerial application industry. NAAA appreciates the generosity of every company and person who donates an auction item to our Live and Silent auctions.

The 2020 Ag Aviation Expo features the premiere trade show for agricultural aviation, great networking opportunities and a great lineup of speakers and events! It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran operator, a fledging ag pilot, or an allied supplier to the ag aviation industry, you won’t find a better venue than NAAA’s Ag Aviation Expo to help you achieve your professional goals and business objectives.
