    New London Airport (FAA LID: W90) is a public-use airport located six miles (10 km) southwest of the central business districtofForest, a town in Bedford County, Virginia, United States. It is privately owned by Liberty University.[1]

    It is a public airport, but usually involves GA aircraft only. On Sundays during the summer and early fall, the runway is used as a dragstrip.

    History[edit]

    Originally built in 1957 as a 1/4 mile dragstrip, airport operations were added in 1961 and the facility has served a dual-purpose since. Having been under the continued guidance of Rucker Tibbs, the airport changed hands in December 2005.

    Facilities and aircraft[edit]

    New London Airport covers an area of 133 acres (54 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (17/35) measuring 3,164 x 40 ft (964 x 12 m). For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2007, the airport had 28,478 aircraft operations, an average of 78 per day: 98% general aviation and 2% military. There are 76 aircraft based at this airport.[1]
