I visited First Flight on Oct 21 2009 on a pleasure flight of the outerbanks. What a great airport and historic place to visit. Everyone who flies should visit the Wright Brothers Memorial. I can't wait for a return visit.

Nice place to land. No fees, can park up to 24 hours w/o permission. You won't have to pay the park entrance fee if you fly in. Runway good shape, no aviation services/unattended. AOPA facility by airstrip in great shape has A/C, bathrooms, and nice flight planning equipment. If you want something to eat, walk down Collington Road. Do not attempt to walk out the main entrance of park after viewing the memorial and exhibits. You will see Collington Road on the approach threshold to runway 2, and also runs just a couple hundred yards beyond the brown metal mockup of the Wright Flyer and the renditions of the Wright Brothers and their staff, which sits just south of the base of the memorial. There is a nice and safe bike/walk path along the road, and it is about a one-mile walk to a Subway and Dairy Queen. Furthermore, from this intersection (Collington Road/US-158 Croatan Hwy) you have a short walk of less than a half-mile to a very good public beach access complete with a bathhouse.

Very memorable experience landing at First Flight with the family, visiting the memorial, and touring the museum. Been there several times before by land. Much more meaningful by air!! Highly recommend The Black Pelican restaurant a short taxi ride away.

Watch out for the banner towing but otherwise a very memorable experience landing here.

FFA is a first rate airport. Short walk to the Wright Memorial and the AOPA facility is really great. High / gusty Winds are a bit of an issue although I didn't see any deer. Great stop!

Flew in October 21st. every pilot should visit FFA. Plenty of parking with tie downs. AOPA's pilot facility is nice. Walk to the Wright Bros. Monument, location of the first flights and museum. It is all hallowed ground for pilots.

I enjoyed visiting First Flight Airport at Kill Devil Hills but was a little disappointed that it did not have a Welcome To First Flight Airport sign in the parking area. It would be nice if the airport board would erect a Welcome sign in the parking lot so visitors could take a picture of the sign with the Wright Brothers monument in the background. It would be nice if the welcome sign read: Welcome to First Flight Airport Kill Devil Hills, N. C. It was near this site that the First Flight of a powered aircraft was made December 17, 1903 by Orville and Wilbur Wright. Thank you very much.

The runway is in good repair, but the Wright Brothers Memorial is under maintenance and is somewhat dismantled. This doesn't prevent a good time during your visit, however it might impair the photo opportunities. Food, Fuel, and Ground Services are non-existent, but the AOPA Flight Planning Center is clean and well kept. Remember to bring your AOPA number to check on the winds and weather prior to departure, and squawk VFR to enter. The bathrooms were open and there were ample picnic tables to eat something you've brought.

The new pilot facility sure beats the old wooden phone booth they used to have. Make sure you have your AOPA password to use the weather computers. Great place to visit for any aviator.

Been here a bunch of times by car. First time by plane yesterday. Still a great place however the restrooms were locked. It was nice to go 230mph over the traffic sitting on the bridge not moving!

I flew in a few weeks ago; the AOPA building is very nice. The only disappointment was that the restrooms were locked and it was only noon.

A very cool experience. APOA has built a very nice pilot briefing lounge with bathrooms, very clean and nicely equipped. For something to eat a mild walk is necessary but not too bad.
