💡 Local Tip
Because the field sits at about 2,132 feet elevation, check density altitude on warm days—small aircraft performance can be noticeably reduced. Also verify after-hours access and fuel procedures with the FBO before a late arrival.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown Blacksburg and Virginia Tech via Airport Road and VA-114/US-460; a car or rideshare is the most practical option. Rideshare and taxi availability can be limited, especially late at night, so arrange a pickup in advance. If you need a rental car, confirm availability before arrival or plan to pick one up in Blacksburg or at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport.
