Beutiful New Airport BUT
Not maned no office no bathroom beware
Friendly ATC
As a newish pilot, I always appreciate a non-class B personality in the controllers.
FBO Services
It was very cold, but FBO crew was helpful in arranging our rental car and hangar storage.
DJ's 50's and 60's Diner
Exit the back of the FBO and walk down to the road, hang a left and just on the other side of John Deere is a cool little diner called DJ's 50's and 60's Diner. Great diner destination! Very nice flight in, highly recommend!
Great place for learning to fly
Four airports with 25 miles. Definatly a place for power off landings.
re: My Hometown Airport
Very interesting post, as I too watched aircraft as a young child right here. It saddened me to see this airport dwindle in the 90's. I now run Appalachian Inspection and Maintenance on this airfield, along side Elkins Aviation (flight school) and Advanced Avionics. This airport is once again coming alive!
signage
Flew here again a couple weeks ago. Nothing has changed really - great terminal is still deserted. What a waste of $$. Maybe they should have spent some of the cash on signage. Noticed this time - there is not ONE runway or taxi sign on the airport. Even with a map from the AOPA database in Foreflight it was confusing finding runway 5 start. Paint is worn off as well so watch out crossing runways with no signs or markings.
Good lunch run
Great restaurant. Friendly staff.
Executive Air
These folks were really great. they made my hotel and car reservations for me. Car was brought up front - ground crew was right there tying plane down and topping off. Nice place andI would definitely come back.
Worth a trip
really nice terminal. Empty and a shame. Nice folks - very helpful - rental car was there waiting for me - fueled me right up. Interesting mountain departure
My Hometown Airport
I looked up in the sky from here as a young boy and learned how to identify aircraft using GOC and CAP manuals. American Airlines served here through my childhood and finally Lake Central Airlines who hired me in 1963 for a 35 & 1/2 year ride through USAIRWAYS where I retired in 1999.
I thought when LCA hired me that I would get to work in my hometown, but it was not to be. My career was to start at KPMH and end at KCMH. Most of my time was at KCVG.

West Virginia International Yeager Airport is a public airport 3 miles east of downtown Charleston, in unincorporated Kanawha County, West Virginia, United States.
