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...

I just took a look at Beckley's aerial view and it appears that there
was an old airport just a couple of miles due west of the existing one.
Maybe it is just two crossed roads, but it looks suspiciously like two
former runways, one which is now a road and the other appears overgrown.

How do you like those hills? A little bit of a change from Iowa, eh?
