This is usually first on my list of places to go when I need an excuse to fly and am looking for lunch. Always have different lunch specials, and always great!

Got my PPL in Manassas (under the original ADIZ) but I call HWY (formerly w66) my homebase. Great little airport.... all it needs is self serve fuel.

Sorry to say, but this is my least favorite airport in VA, and there's only three now that I haven't hit yet. The controllers were inattentive, unresponsive, and kind of rude. When asked which rwy I wanted on arrival, I said 34L. Got cleared for 34R. Later, Clearance Del left me idling in the heat for at least 5 minutes, claiming to be looking for my flight plan, which was in the system, and the estimated departure time I'd filed was right on the money. I was glad to get out of there, and I won't be back. I feel sorry for VFR pilots who have to fly up there in that SFRA mess.

Sorry to report that the absolute best place to fly in and grab a good meal in the DC area has closed. The new FBO, APP, bought out there lease and is planning to make the space into offices. We'll miis this palace.

This is one of my favorite airport cafe places to go. Great food and service at reasonable prices. Family owned and operated for breakfast Saturday mornings, lunch and dinner Tuesday thru Friday! Closed Sunday and Mondays. Located on second floor above Volo FBO; east side of airport. Link to website is: http://www.hoppysrestaurant.com/

If traveling from New England to Florida... recommend you stop here if you need fuel. One of the most competitive fuel prices I found -- and immediate service.

Great little place to eat right next to the terminal -- Suggest Sunday brunch... good selection. Lot's of local flavor. Open most days for breakfast and lunch. Highly suggested. TSS

It's really just getting started finally, the brand new terminal building just opened, and they got the AWOS installed as well. It has been there for a few years though.

Really nice airport. Too bad it is deserted... looks like a pork project gone bad.

Nice air strip - looks like they may have either just built this, or they expanded it recently. FBO is a trailer, but very welcoming. Line crew (Kyle) was right there on the line with my rental car and tied the plane down. Very friendly and helpful. Hertz rental car had the car there on time, but it was dirty inside and out and was actually pretty tired for a rental - 38,000 on a rental is a lot - sounded like they were losing a wheel bearing in front - very loud - so not any kudos for them. Very convenient for me since I have business in both DC and Richmond - right in the middle and outside the SFRA - which is why I think there were some serious jets parked as well.

I fly traffic survey through Ft Belvoir everyday and the controllers in the tower are top-notch professionals who do a great job inspite of the often congested airspace they watch. Friendly and helpful, Davison controllers are the best in the ADIZ.

Stopped here at Landmark Aviation -- staff were extremely friendly. Free crew car available if you call ahead. Fuel a little pricey...

Channel Marker restaurant a great place for lunch or dinner... fly in -- take one of the golf carts into town for a great day of eating and sightseeing. Fuel not available.

Hungry for lunch... mingle with the pilots and enjoy this family style eatery right on the airport. Park your aircraft at the terminal -- walk inside and order the the daily special. Best lunch desserts around. Fuel is cheap too.

Fly in... enjoy lunch at the neat terminal cafe... $8 all-you-can-eat. Sit outside and watch aircraft circle in the pattern. Worth the trip.

Good eats right on the airport... sit out and watch the air traffic while enjoying your meal. Decent prices -- highly recommended...

FAA uses VA78 for White Oak Farm.

The FAA uses 00VA for a different airport. And looking at the satellite picture, it's hard to believe that this is a heliport.

Not in any recent FAA dataset.

This is a very good small, local airport. Friendly staff and a great diner on the field. Very scenic approach with the river as well. Highly recommend.

Be alert for deer on the runway here.

This is a newly-built airport which opened in 2007, to replace nearby Tappahannock Municipal Airport (W79).

This airport closed in 2007, when it was replaced by newly-built Tappahannock-Essex County Airport (KXSA).

Home base for me (Fluky is the gate where most from KHEF leave the ADIZ). Use Dulles Aviation Inc. FBO at west ramp. New restaurant at east ramp but I have not tried them yet.

No ATIS/AWOS,and the wind sock is hard to see from the air. Caution for rising terrain around the runway. Otherwise just a sleepy rural airport.
