- 9/21/20What a great Restaurant!David R.I always enjoy the food at the Airways Inn Restaurant. They have a great aviation themed décor and a very diverse menu. The Crab cakes are amazing and the service is FAST.
- 1/3/20Great AirportZachary S.
- 10/18/16PETER D.An excellent choice for the DC area, transit from here to the city is easy. I've stopped both by air and car (to have lunch at the café) and folks have been pleasant and helpful every time. Worth a look if heading for Baltimore or Washington.
- 4/5/23John W.
- 2/25/15BERNARD F.STOPPED IN TO PICK UP AND DROP OFF SOME PASSENGERS. NO APPROACH FREQUENCY SO BE PREPARED TO GET DROPPED FROM FLIGHT FOLLOWING AND HAVE TO CONTACT TOWER DIRECTLY. NICE AIRPORT AND THE TOWER IS VERY HELPFUL.
