Mid-Continent Aircraft Corp. was founded in 1949 by Richard “Dick” Reade and has served the agricultural aviation industry from its base of operations in Hayti, Missouri, for over 75 years. What began as an aerial application service for farmers and ranchers in the U.S. and Canada has grown into a diversified aviation corporation serving both general and agricultural aviation markets worldwide. Today the company is led by Dennie Stokes and Chris Cobb, continuing the legacy Dick Reade established.

Mid-Continent is a full-service aviation center offering aircraft sales (Thrush, Air Tractor, Cessna, Beechcraft, and other piston and turbine platforms), a fully staffed maintenance shop, worldwide parts sales, and an aviation insurance division. The company also continues to provide aerial application services directly to growers, large paper companies, and government agencies. Mid-Continent operates its Louisiana parts and insurance division under the Landry Aero name from Morse, LA.

As an authorized Satloc dealer, Mid-Continent Aircraft provides sales, installation, and support for Satloc GPS guidance systems and related avionics. Their central location in Southeast Missouri, combined with extensive parts inventory and maintenance capabilities, makes them a convenient one-stop resource for ag aviation operators across the mid-South region.
