HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 5 

Commending the Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport. 

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, January 13, 2020 

WHEREAS, the Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport, one of the few 
remaining privately owned airports in the Commonwealth, has served the 
residents of the Virginia Peninsula and aviators from around the country for 50 
years; and

WHEREAS, the Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport traces its roots 
to 1967, when Larry Waltrip asked his parents, the owners of a construction 
company, about building a new airstrip to replace the recently closed College 
Airport at The College of William & Mary; and

WHEREAS, Larry Waltrip worked with his father, Dudley; his 
brother, Timmy; and architect Bill Phillips to bring his dream to fruition; the 
Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport officially opened on September 20, 1970, and is 
still owned by the Waltrip family; and 

WHEREAS, thousands of people pass through the 
Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport each year, including business travelers and 
Tidewater locals; the airport is a major hub for tourist travel to nearby 
Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens; and 

WHEREAS, the Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport houses dozens of 
privately owned aircraft and further serves the community by supporting the 
Nightingale Regional Air Ambulance and the Williamsburg Flight Center, which 
operates on airport property and provides flight training, maintenance, and air 
tours; and 

WHEREAS, over the course of its history, the 
Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport has become a beloved community meeting place, 
with civic groups using the airport�s conference room for events and the 
award-winning Charly�s Airport Restaurant providing delicious food to locals 
and travelers alike; now, therefore, be it 

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the 
Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport hereby be commended on the occasion of its 50th 
anniversary; and, be it 

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates 
prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Larry Waltrip as an 
expression of the House of Delegates� admiration for the Williamsburg-Jamestown 
Airport�s unique history and contributions to the community.
