Welcome to Columbia Aviation Association!

As we head into 2026, CAA is starting the year on solid ground and with great momentum. Last year was about getting things back on track—refocusing on what brings us together. Along the way, members showed up in force for social events, capped by a fantastic Holiday Party filled with great food, music, and plenty of dancing. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and board members, we’re entering the new year with a strong foundation and a clear runway ahead.

Looking forward, 2026 is shaping up to be even better. With a new board, energized committees, and an expanded lineup of flyouts—from easy day trips to multi-day adventures—there’s no shortage of ways to get involved. The year ahead is full of opportunity, and we’re excited to keep moving forward—together.

Steve Brenneke, CAA President 2026
