Comment by @willymopit on Williamsburg Jamestown Airport, United States:

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.

[KHEF] "Least favorite airport in Virginia" by greenbaron

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:38:02 -0400

Comment by @greenbaron on Manassas Regional Harry P. Davis field, United States:

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.

Comment by @Komatoast on Dinwiddie County Airport, United States:

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.

[K0VG] "re: Pork ????" by Anonymous Flier

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Lee County Airport, United States:

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.

[KRMN] "Easy stop over" by evorbach

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:31:52 -0400

Comment by @evorbach on Stafford Regional Airport, United States:

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.

[KDAA] "Tower" by Anonymous Flier

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:16:29 -0400

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Davison Army Air Field, United States:

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.

Comment by @Komatoast on Norfolk International Airport, United States:

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

Comment by @Komatoast on Tangier Island Airport, United States:

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.

[KPVG] "BlueSkies Grille" by Komatoast

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:45:35 -0500

Comment by @Komatoast on Hampton Roads Executive Airport, United States:

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.

[KFCI] "Lunch Buffet" by Komatoast

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:39:34 -0500

Comment by @Komatoast on Chesterfield County Airport, United States:

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.

[00VA] "Wrong location, wrong id?" by ptomblin

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 11:52:37 -0500

Comment by @ptomblin on Vaughan Airport, United States:

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

Comment by @Fluky on Manassas Regional Harry P. Davis field, United States:

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.

[K8W2] "New Market" by Soulie

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 23:20:35 -0400

Comment by @Soulie on New Market Airport, United States:

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.
