King County International Airport-Boeing Field is opening its doors to the community and general aviation enthusiasts for our fourth annual FOD Walk on Saturday, July 20. FOD stands for "Foreign Object Debris," items that could prove dangerous to aircraft and engines. The purpose of this event is to remove these potentially hazardous objects from the airfield.

There is a limit of 250 participants at the FOD Walk. Participants should arrive and park at the Museum of Flight, 9404 E Marginal Way S., between 7 and 8 a.m. on the day of the event. There will be a mandatory safety briefing at 8:15 a.m., and everyone must be on the buses for the runway no later than 8:30 a.m. Latecomers cannot be accommodated due to the timing of the opening and closing of the airfield. Participants will be given bags and grabbers to remove debris from the runway and adjacent grassy areas. Be aware that this is an outside event in a loud environment, with long distances of walking involved. There will be refreshments provided at the end of the walk at about 10 a.m.
