Flying Sites

1) Warrenton Airpark

Warrenton Airpark (WAP) is the primary flying site for the USUA Club 1 PPG Group. It is a privately owned airfield on the outskirts of Warrenton, Virginia. It is just a beautiful place to fly, with a gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance and the lush green Virginia country-side for miles around. WAP is owned by Tom Richards. He has been a great supporter of us PPG pilots, and has enabled us to make the airpark our "homebase" (for lack of a better word!) We do pay a nominal fee to fly there - $100 each per year, which is a bargain for such a beautiful site so close to DC. As you can imagine, maintaining such an airpark takes a lot of work. We encourage pilots to volunteer for lawn mowing and to participate in various work parties held throughout the year.
