We look forward to even more airports participating this year. Encourage your pilots, staff, and airport users to join in. Click here to download a printable poster. Last year's winner, Auburn Municipal Airport (S50), is issuing a friendly challenge to all other airports to top their total food weight of 10,547.6 pounds. All food must be for human consumption--dog or cat food does not count. Water, flour, rice, and canned goods are all acceptable. Cash is accepted and is calculated with the formula of $1.71 equaling 1 pound of food.
Contact Marjy Leggett at director@wama.us if you would like to participate.

This list is not complete and we ask that if you have suggestions or recommendations for restaurants at or serving your airport, please feel free to send your suggestions or recommendations to Warren Hendrickson, at: wbhendrickson@comcast.net.
