Fly Safe Campaign

Maintain Accident Awareness

Don't become a statistic!

Make avoiding wire strike accidents a top priority in your 2024 Season!

As activity increases throughout the country, now is a good time to focus on safety. A top concern must be avoiding wire strike accidents. Wire strikes caused 28% of the ag aviation accidents in 2023, and eight pilots lost their lives last year after hitting a wire. Throughout your 2024 season, no matter how busy you get, you cannot allow anything to take your focus off wires and other obstacles in the fields you treat.
