The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission launched their Fly Oklahoma mobile app last July and as part of their new challenge feature, they are announcing a new aeronautical challenge, the “Red River Run”.
In celebration of National and Oklahoma Aviation and Aerospace Day on August 19th, pilots are invited to complete the challenge by visiting at least 7 airports listed in the challenge within a 24-hour period and will earn a custom patch from the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission upon completion. Airports listed in the challenge include Hollis, Frederick, Grandfield, Healdton, Ardmore Downtown, Madill, Durant, and Hugo.
This airport challenge will run from August 12-20, 2023. Ardmore Downtown will host an event on Saturday, August 12th for pilots to stop in as part of their trip. Pilots can find more information under the “Challenges” section on the app.
The Fly Oklahoma mobile app allows pilots to explore the Oklahoma Airport System and serves as a digital Airfield Directory (AFD), Recreational Aviation Directory, and a digital passport system which allows pilots to access airport information across the state of Oklahoma, compete to earn various badges upon visiting Oklahoma airports, and stay up to date with aviation events. Download the app on your mobile device and begin your adventure today!
