  Beautiful new facility, friendly staff, cheap gas. Wow, such an improvement over the old Tappahannock. Used to have to brave a water tower on final to get to their cheap gas, now they have a long RW, wide open approach and instrument approach. Thanks for all the years work to get the new airport, kudos.

  Diverted to XSA 15 September with an electrical issue. Chuck Bowman, airport mgr., had John McDonald (the A&P mentioned in other reports) at planeside immediately. As it turned out it took several days to get the needed part, but everyone at the field could not have been more friendly or concerned. Brand new airport and the cheapest fuel around--it doesn't get any better

  Nice clean airport/runway. Very helpful personnel. My wife and I stopped there and back on a trip from western MA to Savannah GA. Fuel prices are excellent. Also, thanks for the use of the car to go into town.

  Dropped off an Angel Flight Patient on July 31st. This is a beautiful new airport that will prove to be valuable to the local community. Fuel prices are great and so was the help provided by Chuck. (Sorry again that I messed up the fuel hose when I rewound it!)

  We stopped 4 times at KXSA recently. It was a real pleasure. The building is brand new, clean, and sunny. Chuck, the manager, was gracious and helpful. He told us about the little cemetery right next to the runway (if you make a bad landing, why travel any further than necessary!) The avgas was very inexpensive, and it is a lovely place to rest for a while, if on a long journey, as we were. Many thanks to Chuck and airport.

  A great little airport, cheap fuel, I fly here every now and then, pack in a lunch and use the kitchenette and microwave. Very friendly staff assisted self-serve, nice new facility. Lucked into free grilled hot dogs one Saturday, airport manager says he does this on the odd nice weekend.

  Terrific new facility, self-serve fuel -- right on the V16 airway between Patuxent and Richmond. I came through for a quick refueling stop and was in and out in a flash, with a few more bucks left in my pocket than would have been with some other places in that region.

  I recently visited the brand new Tappahannock - Essex County Airport. The airport and terminal building are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Great fuel price and T-hangars rent for $250 per month plus $250 security deposit.
 
From Raymond Fowler on 07-Jan-2008

 
  Stopped at the new Tappahannock airport to get my Virginia Ambassador "passport" stamp. This is a brand-spanking new facility opened last October (07). The staff was friendly and the assisted self-service fuel was really $3.88/gal.

  While on a business trip, the aircraft developed an electrical problem and I made a precautionary landing at Tappahannock. There were maintenance folks around from the town and when I explained the problem all of them said the same thing.. Lets call John McDonald. He came right over and was able to provide assistance above and beyond the call of duty. He was very professional and dedicated to the GA and business community. Thanks all.
 
From Jim Davey on 27-Jun-2007

 
  VERY friendly staff when I had to divert to W79 due to a thunderstorm that popped up. Nice little airport, new airport is due to be open in August apparently! I'll definitely be back to take a look then! This one has "character" though, with the obstructions around. Nothing difficult!
 
From John J. Sullivan on 04-Apr-2007

 
  Our aircraft had a mag problem while en route and diverted to W79. John McDonald and crew got on the problem and replaced the magneto. Excellent response from friendly folks. New date for the new airport is July 2007
