Excellent breakfast at gas station, walking distance from FBO.
Great Little Airport!
Stopped in there on Saturday 9/26/15 for a BBQ they were having which we were told about at the Gettysburg Airport pancake breakfast. Everyone there was so nice and friendly. It felt like someone was having a BBQ in their backyard and Oh, by the way, we have an airport here too. They were even giving free plane rides.
Looks like a great place to have a house and have your plane in your own hangar at home.

Maryland Air (FBO)
Maryland Air is the FBO in the terminal building just NW of the approach end of Rwy 22. Visited 7/12-15/2010 in a C-182. They proved very helpful, friendly and courteous in providing rental car, a/c parking and directions. I'd use them again.
Kay's Restaurant
Very good. Seems to get a fair local non-airport trade in addition to itinerant pilots. The soft drinks are served in large mason jars, and the lemonade was delicious and welcome on a hot day. I had the ham-and-cheese club sandwich w/ fries. The tomato was fresh local produce; a good value at $6.50.
Another data anomaly
Not marked at closed in the FAA data, shown on the Baltimore-Washington TAC but not on the Washington Sectional.
Access severely restricted by ADIZ
This airport is one of the "DC-3", along with Hyde Field [W32] and Hyde Field [W32]. It lies inside the inner Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) of the Washington DC ADIZ, and access is allowed only to pilots who have been pre-screened and obtained a special Personal Identification Number (PIN). This is in addition to the normal ADIZ procedures. As a result, it won't usually make sense for non-local pilots to try to use this airport.

This airport closed in November 2022 and is slated to be turned into a residential development. What a waste.
