Key Takeaways:

The Olympic Flight Museum at Olympia Regional Airport (KOLM) is easier to spot now thanks to the hard work of Adam Riter, an Eagle Scout candidate from Washington state. 

Riter spent a cold and rainy Saturday in January putting up signs he built at the museum, which is located on the east side of the airport. The museum is housed in a beige hangar, and before the signs went up, it was easy to miss when you drove by. Now there is a kiosk-style sign next to the road and two murals on planter boxes on the airside of the hangar.
