41st Annual Montana Aviation Conference
The 41st Annual Montana Aviation Conference, hosted by the Aviation Organizations of Montana (AOM), touched down in Billings February 26 to 28, 2026, at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center. Montana’s premier aviation gathering once again brought together pilots, mechanics, airport sponsors, industry partners, and aviation enthusiasts for three full days of learning, networking, and celebration.
This year’s program featured a packed exhibit hall, keynote luncheons and banquets, and multiple concurrent sessions covering safety, medicine, regulations, backcountry flying, search and rescue, and stories from across Montana’s aviation community. The conference also continued its strong emphasis on workforce development, with more than $63,000 in Montana aviation scholarships presented to students, pilots, and mechanics during the awards luncheon. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) presented five Wright Brothers Master Pilot Awards and one Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Awards celebrating 50 years of flying or being an aircraft mechanic!
