Hello to all of you once again! As always, I hope this edition of the North Dakota Aviation Quarterly finds you doing well. I’m excited to write today about a couple of happenings in the North Dakota Aviation Association (NDAA).

We are also very excited to announce the return of the NDAA Fly-ND Conference to Grand Forks in 2024! There has been a push over the past few years to bring the conference back to Grand Forks, and I’m excited that we’re able to do that! We’ve got a great group helping to put the conference together, with leadership from Ryan Riesinger, Beth Bjerke, Trevor Woods and each of their teams. We already have some very cool events in the works for the conference, so stay tuned for more information!

We’re also excited to announce the 2023 Fly-ND Summerfest, to be held in Bowman, ND, on June 17, 2023. This year’s recipient of the North Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame is Bowman local Rodney Schaff. To honor his induction, we are thrilled to bring this event to Bowman. This is also in conjunction with the Bowman Bottom Line Aviation Poker-Run and Fly-In. We have a number of events in store for this day, so stay tuned for those as well.

Take Care,

Justin Weninger, Chairman

North Dakota Aviation Association
