About KAAA
Built By Kansas Operators, For Kansas Operators
Twenty-two spray operators started this association in 1958. Nearly seventy years later, we’re still doing what they set out to do.
Since 1958
It Started With Twenty-Two Operators In Liberal
On January 7, 1958, twenty-two Kansas spray operators met in Liberal and organized the Kansas Aerial Applicators Association. Officers were elected by ballot that day, and three weeks later the board met in Garden City to enact the bylaws. In March 1975, the name changed to what it is today: the Kansas Agricultural Aviation Association.
Our Membership
Everyone With A Stake In Kansas Ag Aviation
KAAA is made up of operators and pilots who fly aerial application for a living, along with the companies that manufacture and distribute the equipment and materials they depend on. If your work touches aerial application in Kansas, there’s a place for you here.
Why We Exist
Safe, Accurate Application. Every Acre.
KAAA exists to foster and promote the safe and accurate aerial application of crop protection products. That shows up as recertification training at the convention, a watchful eye on legislation in Topeka and Washington, and a network of operators who share what they learn.
