Who We Are
Banner Tow USA is an independently owned and operated company that was established in 1985, dba CT Sky Signs. We hangar a fleet of six Piper Pawnee airplanes, a Maule M7-235, a Cessna C172 and a Cessna L-19 Birddog, all of which are meticulously maintained and banner-tow capable. In addition, we utilize a pristine WW II training aircraft, the AT-6 Texan, for our skywriting services. We have a minimum of four experienced pilots on hand during the core banner tow season to accommodate any of your aerial advertising and messaging needs. Banner Tow USA takes pride in offering you exceptional and personalized service. We are proud to have loyal, long-term business relationships with some highly recognizable and successful companies.

VERIFIABLE.
Upon request we provide live, Global Positioning Satellite tracking or e-mailed GPS plots for confirmation of routes your aerial ads were towed.
CAPABLE.
Design and assembly of your letter banner is done in-house by our trained ground crew using the highest quality materials. Corporate billboards are produced through an exclusive relationship by an experienced, best-in-business vendor using the latest technology.
RELIABLE.
Because we hire only highly qualified pilots and have an FAA trained and certified mechanic in-house, our fleet is meticulously maintained and cancellation due to pilot error or aircraft maintenance is extremely unlikely.
QUALIFIED.
Our pilots are instrument-rated and our planes are instrument-equipped. This enables us to fly through poor weather to arrive at advertising locations unreachable by many of our competitors.
All pilots undergo a rigorous training program, as well as recurrent training.
