I read the comment about PVG being "too busy" and that some of the local pilots don't practice proper pattern/comm procedures. I'm happy to report that I've had quite the opposite experience. Great experience both with the airport and VA Aviation Associates. Very convenient airport with 100LL prices that are far below the regional average and a traffic pattern that rarely has more than one aircraft in it at a time. The towers to the north are only an issue if you don't adhere to proper instrument procedures, or make a habit of scud running VFR. If PVG had an ILS this would be perfect GA airport... I hear it's coming

I started taking my initial flying lessons at PVG (Mercury). The airport now has repaved runways, and it otherwise a good alternative to ORF for GA traffic. However, this is by far the busiest airport in the Hampton Roads area, this being especially true on weekends. Use caution in the pattern, some jerks don't utilize radios in the pattern, cut off people, drop down in front of others on final, and I have had numerous near misses near or in the pattern of this airport. The towers are off to the north west and are generally not an issue, however, are often obscured in haze during the summer. I now do my best to avoid PVG while flying around, just due to the high traffic and boneheads cutting people off in the pattern. Keep your head on a swivel while flying around PVG!

A+ service. Not a single issue with this airport or the people that work here. The ONLY concern for me is those towers near the airport. I knew about them, but it was hazy and well..... Be careful!

I understand there will be an ILS to rwy 10 in the future. That's great. This is a busy airport; that fact, plus the great self-service fuel prices, makes this a place to go, even if just for fuel. The staff are friendly and helpful. If the little café were open more often, I would think they would have plenty of business. I visit frequently because it is a nice experience.

Stopped in Hampton Roads on May 25th for an overnight stay. Came here because of the reports on AirNav.Com. This place is very, very GA friendly. My rental Car was delivered to my plane. A very friendly fellow came out to greet us (forgot his name). Filled up at that SS pump. No overnight or parking fees at all! This place beats ORF hands down!

Came in Christmas Eve. Met the famous Sam. Just as pleasant and helpful as all previous comments. Very helpful and accommodating. Directed me to a tie down for an extended stay, opened the gate for my brother to drive out to my plane and pick me up, and helped me tie her down. All without even knowing whether or not I was even buying gas, and all without a tie down fee. Very pleasant place to stop.

Great airport to stop at! We stopped for fuel on the way to FFA since they had the lowest fuel prices found on AirNav for the area. The service we received was excellent, and very friendly. We decided to stop here again on the way home to fill up, but also overnight to visit a friend. Again, friendly service, and no tie down fee. We will be back.

Great central location for fuel stop from New England to Fl. Fuel prices very good and they have computer weather. The lunch counter has good food and very nice people.

Stopped in on our way to New England from Florida. Fuel prices were right and the hospitality at PVG is second to none. If you are ever in the area stop in and say hello to Stan. He is one top notch person. Thanks for the first class treatment on that dreary evening Stan.
