Runways at Willard Field (73S) in Tekoa,WA. Photo source: WSDOT.   Welcome, Willard Field!   The Fly Washington Passport Program has another new participating airport! Tekoa Municipal Airport/Willard Field (73S) is city-owned with 2,261 foot runways, self serve fuel facilities, and a lighted heliport. The airport also has powerplant and airframe repair and maintenance available. The Fly Washington Passport stamp will be in a gray mailbox on the right side of the shed next to the credit card reader. Airport management expects to install it in the next couple of days! If you arrive before then, take a photo of yourself with your passport and the airport clearly identified in the background, and include that when you send in your booklet for validation. You can always view an interactive map with pins showing stamp locations and download the latest list of participating airports from our website.
