Major construction project underway as of 2019. New terminal building going in at mid-field, north side of runway. Will be very nice when completed. Currently the activity has minimal impact on airfield operations.

This place is short and skinny. On top of that, it sits in a valley. It's a neat place but you better know your plane. I actually landed here in bad weather and I had no problem, but I can imagine pilots running long and ending up on the golf course.

Following your successful landing, go around the creek and get a meal at the Copper Kettle.

Great Airport

This was a small airport with a 1900 foot runway that served farms just outside of Dulles, VA. The Smith family sold the land back in 2007/2008 and it is now part of a subdivision that sits across from John Champe High School.

Seriously some of the best home cooking, all you can eat food around. Even more so at a nice airport with great service. $8 all you can eat; what could be better! Great GA 100 dollar "hamburger" flight!

Charlottesville Airport

This is a nice airport for the Jet Set. Landmark Aviation has

friendly service people.....

However, the security issues make it not a really good place

for making friends, learning to fly, and the way things used

to be in aviation.

Other airports around are somewhat better for these purposes

such as Orange, Gordonsville, Eagles Nest (Waynesboro)

Least favorite airport in Virginia

🔗 Thu, 28 Jul 2011
— @greenbaron at Manassas Regional Airport/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.

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.

Easy stop over

— @evorbach at 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.

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.

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.

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.
