Go green: Get prizes for landing at grass strips

June Pilot Passport challenge awards points for check-ins at grass strips

Have fun exploring grass strips and check in on the AOPA app’s Pilot Passport feature to earn points toward a free $25 AOPA Pilot Gear gift certificate and our eightieth anniversary Freedom to Fly book.

Check in through the AOPA app’s Pilot Passport whenever you land at a grass strip and earn points! The grass runway at Triple Tree Aerodrome in South Carolina is one of our favorites! It’s maintained to the precision of golf course greens. Photo by Chris Rose.

The top three participants who check in at the most grass strip airports through Pilot Passport in June will win!

Each month, we feature a different challenge to get you flying more. Plus, you’ll have the chance to earn great prizes just for participating!

Congratulations to our latest challenge winners, J. Ethan Moyer, Keith Carlton, and Billy Watkins Jr., for checking in at the most airports in April and to Dustin Unger, J. Ethan Moyer, and Max Kieffer for sharing the most check-ins via social media in May.

Don’t miss out on the fun! Download the AOPA app for your Android or iOS device if you haven’t already and check in through Pilot Passport each time you land at an airport or attend an aviation event. You can earn badges for landing at airports in your state, on different types of runways, at seaplane bases, and in different classes of airspace, and by attending different fly-ins and airshows.
