Our deepest condolences are with the family of Rick Boardman, who lost his life yesterday in a tragic accident.

Rick Boardman was more than a respected ag aviation operator—he was a trusted friend, mentor, and dedicated advocate for the agricultural aviation industry.

Through his years of service, Rick generously shared his knowledge, guidance, and passion with countless pilots and operators, leaving a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him. Especially his employees, friends and customers.

As a past President and valued board member of the Nebraska Aviation Trades Association Board of Directors, he devoted his time and leadership to strengthening our industry and supporting its future. Rick’s legacy will live on through the friendships he built, the lives he influenced, and the aviation community he cared for so deeply.
