Orange County Launches New Airport Facebook Page
By: Orange County Communications
Orange County recently launched an Airport Facebook page to inform residents and visitors alike of the unique role the Orange County Airport (OMH) plays in our community and the region. Orange County is an attractive location for visitors to refuel on flights across the east coast and the country. The Orange County Airport is a public use, general aviation airport. It has a 3,200 foot runway and will accommodate turboprop and propeller driven aircraft of 12,500 pounds or less. The airport is equipped with an Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS III) to provide pilots with real - time weather data to promote safe operations. The County leases 10 T - hangars and 19 tie - down spots to facilitate aircraft based at or visiting the airport. OMH offers a complimentary pilot vehicle and works with local car rental companies to provide transportation to visitors. The airport also hosts community events such as field trips, educational seminars, and hopes to host 5Ks and movies in the future. Contact Paul Weber at pweber@orangecountyva.gov to book your event at the Orange County Airport today and follow the Orange County Airport on Facebook.
