Pattern testing 2026 was a success! Thank you to everyone that came out to tune up your pattern or just came to hang out! A huge thank you to Carson & Megan Corr for their time and expertise! We also thank Scott and crew from McGriff insurance, Mark and crew from Wind-Fall, Josh from Spee-D-Mix, Rebecca with KAAA and Jeff from Tony’s for getting things setup, and the North Star crew kept airplanes loaded. This was a great event and we wish everyone a great and safe spray season!

We are still here with Thrush Aircraft as well. We fully believe this move is a great thing for the future of Thrush Aircraft and their ability to continue the long standing relationships and form the new ones!

Greetings to all from 300 Old Pretoria Rd, Albany Ga (aka Thrush Aircraft ). I am Kevin Pierce, VP of Sales Support and Services at Thrush and have been with the company for almost 18 years.

As you can imagine, we have had a lot of comments and questions about today's exciting news. Yes, Air Tractor has purchased Thrush Aircraft. Yes, we are keeping our jobs and continuing to build, deliver and support new Thrush Aircraft to customers around the globe and yes, we are expecting this to be a good thing for the industry, the employees of both companies and all of our current and future Thrush operators.

As always, our Dealer Network, Service Centers and our Factory support team and myself, will be here to continue taking care of each and every one of you and we appreciate your enthusiasm, your continued support and trust in our product and people.

Thank you for your time and attention and God Bless you all!
