The Fly Washington Passport Program, an incentive program encouraging pilots and aviation enthusiasts to explore Washington’s public-use airports, is seeking designers and artists to create a patch representative of each of the six regions including the Olympic Peninsula, southwest, northwest, south central, north central and eastern areas of Washington state.
Participants will use an official Fly Washington Passport Booklet to collect stamps at enrolled public-use airports. Pilots who fly into all of the participating airports within each region will receive the special patch to proudly display on their flight jacket.
The Washington State Department of Transportation is in partnership for the program with the City of Auburn, Auburn Municipal Airport, Washington Airport Management Association, the Washington Pilots Association and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
Participants will use the official Fly Washington Passport Booklet to collect stamps at participating public-use airports.
