Fly Washington Passport Program
The $100 Burger
Pilots want to fly their planes. Sometimes that means springing the fuel for a cheeseburger at the nearest airport. In the Pacific Northwest we have the unique ability to “elevate” that experience with some of the most scenic flying and destinations just a hop across the Sound. Here’s a few local restaurants located at the airport– Check out the complete list of airport based restaurants at flywashington.org.
The Fly Washington Passport Program encourages pilots and aviation enthusiasts to explore Washington’s public-use airports.
Beyond motivating pilots to fly, this program supports general aviation airports, area businesses, tourism, and provides flight planning, safety, and educational opportunities. The program relies on the voluntary participation of Washington’s public-use airports, pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and sponsors. The objective for this program is to increase aviation economic activity and enhance general aviation visibility.
Participants, using an official Fly Washington Passport Program booklet, collect “passport stamps” at enrolled public-use airports. Any licensed pilot from any state, and their passengers, may participate. Participants will earn levels of recognition and prizes as they explore the airports of Washington State.
