Flew in on Friday evening, Nov. 4. Karen, from FBO, greeted us with a smile and a complimentary van ride to our motel. At drop off, we met Aunt Cindy (Karen's Aunt) and she too was Virginia friendly. Local restaurants were in walking distance as well as the caverns. Airport picked us up at Caverns, took us back to motel for our luggage for departure. Had a great time.

Sat morning trip was great with the best service anywhere. Trans to local area and the cave was easy and fun. Will come back for a longer trip as there is a lot to see and do.

Gorgeous scenery in the vicinity of the airport! As soon as I landed the FBO hailed me and asked if I needed fuel. Looks like I'll be coming back soon to bring family and friends to the caverns!

Flew in to visit the caverns. Upon touchdown received directions to parking and asked if needed fuel. We were met by John in a van to give us a ride into town/attractions. A quick call and John picked us up. Service was outstanding, views gorgeous, fuel the cheapest around. Made for a nice weekend getaway with my co-pilot.

No one around Sat morning, but bldg open w/ phone and # to call. Rwy/ramp in fair/good condition. Fantastic view of mountains in distance west! Old facilities, but clean. Cheap fuel.
