Supporting our community

Cancer Awareness

N38990 emerges from the paint shop with a renewed purpose and a striking new appearance. Following the successful dedication of N80842 to Childhood Cancer Awareness in 2023, Augusta Aviation continues its mission to raise awareness for often overlooked and deadly cancers. This time, N38990 takes on the mantle of Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness (NET). This cause hits close to home as our company president has been battling this disease since 2008. The zebra-patterned ribbon adorning N38990 serves as a poignant reminder to healthcare professionals to consider less obvious diagnoses, as NET is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked until it reaches an advanced stage. Through our aircraft dedications, we aim to shed light on the importance of early detection and treatment. As November marks NET Awareness Month, Augusta Aviation remains committed to leveraging our resources to support and educate our community.
