💡 Local Tip
Call ahead to the FBO for after-hours fuel and gate access; KOKV can be quiet in the evening, and having a contact helps avoid delays. Also, afternoon mountain winds can make the pattern bumpy, so morning arrivals often give the smoothest ride.

The airport is easiest to reach by car, with a short drive from downtown Winchester via US-11/Valley Pike or I-81. Rental cars, taxis, and rideshare options may be limited, so arrange ground transportation in advance through the FBO. On-site parking is available for visitors and transient pilots.
