Visited Shannon Airport for a couple hours on Jan 23 in a corporate turboprop. Fantastic airport with very friendly staff. While waiting for my passengers, I had quick and tasty lunch at the cafe attached to the FBO, and I even had an opportunity to take a guided tour of the awesome museum on the field. Don't miss this! In fact, it's well worth making a special trip to the airport to see, whether you fly, drive, or walk in!! There are some very unique aircraft on display here, and very interesting history to each one that gets tied in very neatly to the location. And there was no doubt about the guide's enthusiasm about the museum. Really a great general aviation airport!

PA-46 stay for a few days at this hidden gem of northern VA. KEZF has a wonderful on site restaurant, terrific GA friendly airport staff, and Enterprise rental a few minutes away. What is not to like!! KEZF is the way a GA airport should be run! Although KEZF is a little further from DC, and Baltimore, the difference in services and costs are worth the drive.

Love going into Shannon. Warm hospitality, great food in the café (try the Cuban --- as the owner says, "the best Cuban sandwich north of Havana"), very reasonable fuel prices and the added benefit of the air museum makes it a super place to stop for lunch and a browse around the museum. The new airport manager is really on top of things and has a number of plans to make it an even better stop. One can even shave a few bucks off of the proverbial $100 hamburger by stopping in.

Thinks keep getting better at Shannon. The newly opened on field museum is a gem. Great facilities, a grass "cross wind" runway, great food, cheap gas, friendly locals = wonderful airfield.

Wouldn't have flown in except for IFR check ride, but will go back. Very nice lounge and restaurant, free WiFi, self and full serve fuel, and 24-hour bathroom w/ code. Friendly folks and runway in excellent shape. Occasional skydivers, announced on CTAF. Family friendly events.
