This year 2008, marks our 20th consecutive year of aircraft operations! Ken Squires was the
first individual in Louisiana to establish, maintain and prove the concept of stand-alone
helicopter crop operations in Louisiana to be viable enough that such an operation could
financially sustain itself. Ken is the first to admit that it was not easy, but he believed in the
concept of higher quality crop work for farmers possible with helicopters and he stuck with it,
through thick and thin, feast and famine.
Now there are approximately 6 helicopter crop-duster operations in Louisiana, some are
ex-student pilots taught by Ken Squires himself.
Ken believes so strongly in the concept of crop-work by helicopter that he has assisted many
airplane crop-duster pilots and owner operators thereof with custom training courses to convert
to helicopters.
