Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport

CHO is pleased to present the first exhibit in the new Art in the Airport program, brought to you by the extremely talented Virginia Stone Carvers Guild.  Over thirty sculptures will be on display until January, 2009. Their work reflects the diversity of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, and Shenandoah regions and will be sure to engage all travelers with an innovative and memorable experience. Our goal is to welcome new travelers to Central Virginia with the best our own local artists can offer as well as provide a refreshing airport atmosphere to our own loyal customers. Check out www.virginiastonecarversguild.com for additional information about the artists. Be sure to explore our new upper level gallery area as well as additonal exhibit areas located throughout the terminal on your next trip with CHO.

The noise that shook the airport and Earlysville area this evening was an F/A-18 Hornet doing a flyover of the area.  It made 3 passes over the airport.  Sorry we had no warning or the ability to let you know to run outside to see it!

Yes, that bird you might see this morning flying around Charlottesville's skies is a Boeing 757 from the Presidential Fleet out of Andrews Air Force Base.  It should be here around 10:30 a.m. and plans on 5 or 6 training maneuvers commonly referred to as "touch and goes".  Enjoy the sight while you ponder who just may have been one of the last passengers on board!
