[edit] New London Airport

New London Airport is located in Forest, Virginia. It is a public airport, but usually involves GA aircraft only. On Sundays during the summer and early fall, the runway is used as a drag strip.

[edit] History

Originally built in 1957 as a 1/4 mile dragstrip, airport operations were added in 1961 and the facility has served a dual-purpose since. Having been under the continued guidance of Rucker Tibbs, the airport changed hands in December 2005.
