Hampton Roads Executive Airport
The Main Entrance West Hangar Site will include three (3) new 12,000SF corporate aircraft hangars, each will be 120’ wide x 100’ deep with 100’W x 24’H one-piece hydraulic hangar doors facing a brand new ramp/apron which will connect to freshly paved taxiways. Each building will include a 14’ W x 16’H motor operated overhead/garage door, a “storefront” glass double door, and multiple single-doors for ease of access. Located immediately on the west side of the Airport’s main entrance, a new service road will provide drive access to the front side of each hangar as well as dedicated parking and automatic vehicle gate access to the ramp. Site work began on August 26, 2024 and is expected to be finished in April of 2025. The Airport is working to have public electric aircraft charging stations installed as part of this new hangar site with support from the Virginia Department of Aviation.
The South Terminal Apron Rehab project will provide new asphalt, drainage, pavement markings, and tie-downs for the apron and taxiways extending south from the Airport’s terminal apron. The construction elements include erosion control, pavement milling, full depth reclamation, grade correction, paving operations, site stabilization, and pavement marking operations. The South Terminal Apron Rehab project will provide brand new asphalt for the taxiways to and from the Main Entrance West Hangar Site as well as brand new asphalt for the Airport’s terminal apron where transient aircraft park as well improved drainage and new tie-downs. This project began on August 5, 2024 and is expected to be completed in November of 2024.
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport, although that end is what we have all ostensibly been striving to attain.
