- From Gary Mascelli on 11-Nov-2006
- Received airport advisory once turned loose from Norfolk approach and followed the James River for a landing on 31. On roll out was contacted on Unicom and directed to parking. Rental car was ready but I didn’t mention it when I called in, not a problem we had wheels on the bags and made our way to the terminal. Good service, friendly folks. As Ken mentioned "As far as the $9.00 per night parking, it may seem high but the airport is self-supporting and you do not mind spending the money when you see improvements being made." My wife and I agree..... We are also looking forward to our next visit.

- We experienced a blow out upon landing at JGG -- Jean, Larry, Charlie and the rest of the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Kevin, in his newly established maintenance facility, repaired the tire while we dined on some delicious food from Charley's. In no time we were "good to go", as well as SAD to have to say goodbye!! thanks to ALL who helped turn a potentially negative situation into such a POSITIVE!! Suzi -n- Jim Russell Cherokee 5506F SHD

- I've flown my Mooney in twice now this summer with the wife and kids and it is a great stop. Charlie's is a must! Definitely get the rental car through the FBO (cheaper and driven right up to your plane) but if you plan on arriving on the weekend, make sure you call during the weekdays or else they might only have a more expensive rental or none since the place they get the rentals from is closed. Also, watch out for deer at night! Great folks and great service!
- From Kenneth Nicastro on 14-Aug-2006
- What a great place!!! Arrived in KJGG and was greeted over the UNICOM and directed to parking. Had no rental car reservation and they got me a car within 20 minutes. The people are friendly and very helpful. Ate at Charly's and the food was good. Will definitely come back again!! As far as the $9.00 per night parking for my Cessna Skyhawk XP, it may seem high but the airport is self-supporting and you do not mind spending the money when you see improvements being made. Looking forward to my next trip there.
- From Adam Norwitch on 05-Aug-2006
- Great stop! Flew in our Archer II on a leg of our summer trip. They kept the office open past close so we could finish our planning.
- From Bill Heybruck on 24-Jul-2006
- Spent 2 days there for Beech Aero Club Fly-in. Great people and service. Charly's is VERY GOOD CAFE for lunch. Enterprise car was cheaper thru them then via web. Will come back again! Very Hospitable and close to all attractions.
- From Kevin Berry on 30-May-2006
- A very warm welcome on Unicom frequency as soon as I cleared the active. Asked what I needed, directed me to parking spot and hosted our friend (non-pilots) while they awaited our arrival. (Even a small playground for the kids!) Fuel service is prompt, friendly and everyone offered to do more than I usually get at any airport. Restaurant has fine food and sitting on their patio at the edge of the ramp is just the right place for a pilot to eat and enjoy the scenery!
- From Leonard Windham on 13-Mar-2006
- Visited JGG on 3/11 for a visit to area. Excellent service on arriving with assistance obtaining cab and fuel needs handled cheerfully. Upon return to aircraft, I discovered that I left the master switch on. Even though it was after hours, airport operator took time to help me locate a charger, spent 3 hours helping me remove and reassemble cowling and get me on my way. One of the maintenance guys even came to the airport after he heard about the problem and assisted. Will definitely visit again.
- From Jim Frost on 05-Dec-2005
- Nice stop for fuel and food! BEWARE that the fuel price listed on the FBO's web site (not AirNav) is NOT accurate. Fuel was over $1.00/gallon more than advertised. When questioned about this, they said they had lost the password to update their web site!
- From Erik Suter on 21-Sep-2005
- Arrived on a quiet Monday in September in a C-172 and experienced first-rate service. Asked for a cab about 10 minutes out and it was there within minutes of landing. The lineman had the plane tied down before I was through unloading. Nice facilities with an attractive restaurant with outdoor dining. Will be back.
- From Kim on 01-Jun-2005
- This is a great airport and FBO for general aviation flyers with a family. We landed after hours but were met at the plane by the lineman with our rental car and a willingness to help children with their bag. He said they were waiting on another arrival, too. And, as we were leaving, a C-172 landed and headed to the tie down area. All of this service for a couple of guys driving single engine airplanes. The cafe on the field has some of the best food found any place. Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown are a must see for school age children and are within minutes of this airport.
- From Bob Tridle on 16-May-2005
- This continues to be a nice, friendly stop for those visiting historic Williamsburg, Jamestown, or Yorktown. Watch crosswinds (at least from the South) as trees nearby. We stopped here for week of visiting Williamsburg. Attendant brought rental car out to our aircraft and was very helpful. Clearly, these are folks that care about our passion for aviation. This is a private airport, so there are charges, but they are reasonable. This will be our preference in future trips to Williamsburg.
- From Gary Daniel on 23-Feb-2005
- Visited 2/18/05. Service very good, called unicom 10 miles out for cab which was waiting. Had oil leak from loose hose which Kevin Steele from Jamestown Flight Center investigated and fixed while we were in town.
- From John Gastaldo on 22-Feb-2005
- I was there two weeks ago, very helpful. Had a car waiting, directions. Fuel more expensive than indicated. Would go back.
- From Douglas Furst on 20-Dec-2004
- The staff at JGG are very friendly and very helpful. If you are looking for something a little different, take a taxi over to the winery about 5 minutes a way. They have a fantastic tavern with a great menu. They also offer free tours.
- From Dave Stockett on 05-Nov-2004
- I have to echo the comments below. Great little airport with a helpful staff. Taxis to Colonial Williamsburg are very quick in answering the call. About the only thing I didn't like was the "hump" in the middle of the runway. If it's your first time landing here: beware! It appears that you're about run right off the runway! Definitely wakes you up!
- From Mike Vec on 12-Sep-2004
- Very nice staff. I made a car reservation but all cars were taken. They found me a nice one for 1/2 price. Parking is 8.00 a day single.
- From Kathy Queen on 19-Jul-2004
- Nice and friendly airport. You must have a meal at Charly's restaurant on field. Homemade bread and great service (The Ruben on blackbread is awesome)- check the hours because the restaurant is only open from 9am to 3pm on weekdays. No fees if you are just parking for the day. Beware if you arrive in the summer and you land at the swamp end of the airport, Rwy 31. It can be a bit bouncy at the threshold.
- From Charles Lawson on 11-Jul-2004
- Nice little airport and friendly folks in the office. Current posted prices are: $10 landing fee, $10 parking fee for twins, $8 parking fee for singles. Nice place for a fly-in...but do call in advance to warn 'em.
