Orange County Airport

at Orange County Airport

From Darrell Klein on 25-Jun-2008

Stopped in to OMH for fuel 6-24-08. SS fuel was as advertised on AirNav. The parking area in front of the pumps is not level and care needs to be taken while fueling if Maximum capacity is the goal. This is a nice little airport with friendly people and it is easy to find. Its position outside the Washington Class Bravo makes it a good fuel stop for north/south travel. We will use OMH again when in the area.

I called ahead and was told to "just pull up out front" when I arrived. I tried to raise someone on Unicom, but nobody responded. So I "pulled up out front" but nobody came out to direct me to parking. I went to the office, and a nice gentleman walked out only to tell me that I had to start back up and move the airplane from where I parked it. Upon attempting to start my left engine, the housing for the mixture cable broke out in the engine nacelle, not allowing me to start up. A very nice lady helped me locate a mechanic in Culpepper, and he dropped what he was doing to come down and fix the broken housing. They let me keep the airplane where it was parked, but seemed a little upset that I couldn't move it for a few hours. I was there for about six hours in total, and saw not one other airplane move on the field all day. The mechanic was able to quickly fix the problem and I was on my way. In general, other than the parking situation, the people seemed very nice.

On a trip to Skydive Orange I had was part of a very pleasant experience. Parking of my aircraft was not available near Skydive Orange as construction of a new terminal was well underway. I had asked the folks at the FBO how to walk over to where we needed to go and they said it was about 1.5 miles; however they would be very happy to drive us over there and gave us their number to call when we were ready to return to our plane and they would come pick us up. Not that's service.... Good job guys

We made a brief visit here to refuel and pick up another plane. You couldn't ask for a nicer facility. The mechanic offered us hot dogs off of his grill. Everyone was very courteous, even their 3-legged dog, Mercedes, who kept us company while we ate. Ditto on the reasonable fuel prices, too.

Nice airport with newly surfaced runway and brand new taxiway. FBO folks are top notch. Best price on 100LL in the Washington, DC area (other than Potomac, which is a fuel club, and which is located in the FRZ).

Stopped here twice Oct 21 for fuel. Excellent service. Learned FBO is run by County Gov't now. Friendly, professional staff. And you get to watch the skydivers landing on north side of field, too.

Stopped on 7/16 for a VA passport stamp. Friendly group and the fuel price can't be beat - $4.04.

Sadly, the airport has decided to discontinue the bulk fuel purchase system. You can no longer buy 100 gallons for a discount. Some of us locals are protesting that decision, so hopefully this will be only temporary.
