In 2017, the Wisconsin Airport Management Association (WAMA) and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) teamed up to launch the “Fly Wisconsin Airport Passport Program.” The program rewards pilots and passengers for flying into Wisconsin airports, attending FAA safety seminars, and visiting Wisconsin’s aviation attractions. Participation in the program is free and open to all pilots and passengers from any state or country.
So far more than 2,300 people have registered to participate in the program. As of the end of 2022, 33 aviators have completed the entire program and earned the coveted leather jacket. Many more pilots have earned the flight bag and t-shirt. A full list of award winners from the last three years can be found to the right.
