FAQs About The VHA
List of Services

Where and when are the meetings held? Can anyone attend?List Item 1
Information on upcoming meetings can be found in the "VHA Meetings" tab. Our home base is the Waltrip Williamsburg Airport (KJGG) but not all meetings always take place there.
Meetings are open to the public, membership not required! Feel free to show up on your own, or make contact with the club first via the Contact Page.

Is there a place to land an aircraft near the meeting location?
Typically, yes! Our usual meeting spot is the Waltrip Williamsburg Airport (KJGG). Helicopter parking is on the Northwest side of the field on the large, open asphalt ramp. Please avoid hover taxiing near aircraft along the taxiways parallel to 13/31. Preferred approach is either via air-taxi along the runway, or landing direct to the ramp.
Other meeting spots may have designated landing sites as outlined in meeting announcements.
