Virginia Aviation Ambassadors Program

Separate from the Norfolk International Airport Ambassador Volunteer Program, the Virginia Aviation Ambassadors Program is a Virginia Department of Aviation initiative designed to encourage pilots to fly to all of the airports in Virginia as well as visit aviation museums and attend safety seminars. Pilots and aviation enthusiasts will get to see the valuable assets that are Virginia’s system of airports. As they set and meet goals in their flying and sightseeing, participants will also have fun and learn more about the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Virginia Aviation Ambassadors Program provides Bronze, Silver and Gold level recognition for pilots and passengers who visit (fly or drive) Virginia’s airports and aviation museums, participate in one of DOAV/FAA Safety programs and attend the Virginia Regional Festival of Flight.

Visit local public-use airports and request a Virginia Aviation Ambassador’s Program passport. Each time you visit a Virginia public-use airport, aviation museum, or safety seminar, have your passport stamped in the appropriate block. Norfolk International Airport’s fixed base operator, Signature Flight Support, provides passport stamps for program participants. Signature is located adjacent to Norfolk International Airport at 6101 Burton Station Road, Norfolk, Virginia 23502. Visit Signature’s customer service desk near the rampside entrance to obtain a stamp. Read more about the program and rules on the Virginia Department of Aviation website.
