Gordonsville Municipal Airport (GVE)

Gordonsville Municipal Airport is a small public-use general aviation airport serving the town of Gordonsville and the surrounding central Virginia countryside. The field opened in March 1940 and is owned by the Town of Gordonsville, providing a local base for private, business, and recreational flying. Located about two miles northeast of downtown Gordonsville, the airport has a single asphalt runway, designated 5/23, measuring 2,300 by 50 feet. It operates without a control tower, and pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency and medium-intensity runway lighting when arriving or departing. The airport sits roughly 15 miles from Charlottesville and within easy reach of Orange, Louisa, Lake Anna, and the Piedmont region, making it a practical entry point for general aviation travelers heading to nearby towns, wineries, and historic sites. Facilities are limited but functional, with aircraft tie-downs, storage, restrooms, and automated weather reporting available. Fuel and on-site maintenance are not currently offered, so pilots are advised to plan fuel stops accordingly.
