Lionels Fly-In, Gretna VA.

June 11th - 14th, 2026. Without a doubt, Lionel’s Fly-In offers the best flying in Virginia! The private airstrip is perfectly maintained and surrounded by rolling fields, ponds, streams, cutovers, and quiet valleys—just eight miles from Smith Mountain Lake. Morning fog often settles low, letting you rise above the clouds as mountain peaks break through like islands in a sea of cotton.. Pilots and their families are welcome to boondock on-site at no charge, with water available. But the true highlight? That’s Lionel. Come fly with us and meet the man himself. Pull up a chair, enjoy a cold drink, and chat with someone whose lifelong love of aviation is only matched by his love for those who share the freedom of the skies with him. Register on the facebook group (link below) or at USPPA, in their events calendar.
