SEAPLANE PILOTS WITH A COMMON GOAL
The mission of the Washington Seaplane Pilots Association is to protect and grow seaplane access to Washington waters, promote safe and responsible operations, foster communications among owners, operators, service providers and the community, and to facilitate events sharing the joy of seaplane flying in Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Please join us.
THANK YOU to all who came by to say hello at the the Washington Aviation Association Expo! See you all next year!

“The WSPA was founded by Richard Woodin in the 1970s. It was founded with the express purpose of fighting the impending closure of the Alpine Lakes in the Cascades to seaplanes for environmental reasons.”
