Default New Plan -- Going to Kill Devil Hills

Airports?
-- Newport News/Williamsburg (PHF), Rick Aviation provides good service.
Lodging and restaurants nearby. Three miles to Yorktown, 8 miles to
Williamsburg, 16 miles to Jamestown
-- Williamsburg (JGG), nice small airport, in the middle of the Historic
Triangle. Nice daytime restaurant on the field. Two miles to Williamsburg.
-- Others on 'southside' (Norfolk [airlines] plus smaller Chesapeake
(CPK), Hampton Roads (PVG), & Suffolk (SFQ)

Going south?
-- stop at Ocracoke (W95); it's a regular for lunch
---- 1/2 mile walk to food at Howard's Pub


Thanks for the tips, George.

We're in Beckley, W.V. as I'm typing this -- nice airport, nice town.
Unfortunately the rental car places at the airport close early on
Sundays, so we had to catch a cab into town -- $35 one way! I thought
I was in Chicago all over again...

Weather is lovely, and the flight was beautiful, 4 hours on the dot.
Had great steaks at a local "Outback" clone, and we're aiming for an
early launch to Kitty Hawk...
