About Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico
Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico is a military airfield within Marine Corps Base Quantico in Prince William County, Virginia. Commissioned in 1919, the facility has played a long-running role in Marine Corps aviation and is best known today as the home of HMX-1, the squadron that flies the President of the United States.
The current airfield site was selected in 1931 and named Turner Field in honor of Colonel Thomas C. Turner, a veteran Marine aviator and the second director of Marine Corps Aviation, who died in Haiti in 1931. The airfield carries the IATA code NYG and the ICAO code KNYG.
It operates a single paved runway, 02/20, approximately 4,250 feet (1,295 m) long, and functions primarily as a military and transient aircraft facility rather than a commercial passenger airport. Prior permission is required for transient aircraft, and there are no scheduled airline services or public passenger terminals.
Located just south of the town of Quantico and about 35 miles (56 km) south of Washington, D.C., the airfield is reached by road from I-95 and nearby U.S. Route 1. Travelers continuing to Washington, D.C., Stafford, Triangle, Fredericksburg, or other northern Virginia destinations can connect by car, taxi, private transfer, or rail from the nearby Quantico station.
