✈️ Weekend Visitor at the Airport!

This beautiful vintage warbird stopped by over the weekend to grab some fuel and stretch its wings. Wearing classic U.S. Marine Corps training colors, this aircraft is a great reminder of the incredible history behind many of the airplanes still flying today.

It’s not every day we get to see a piece of aviation heritage taxi onto our ramp. Thanks to the crew for stopping in — safe travels and we hope to see you again soon!

✈️ On This Day in Aviation History ✈️

Today we celebrate the anniversary of the first powered flight, a moment that changed the world forever. What began as a brief lift off the ground sparked more than a century of innovation, connection, and discovery through aviation.

From those early beginnings to the aircraft that fly in and out of our airport every day, we’re proud to be part of a legacy that continues to bring people and places together.

Here’s to the pioneers who dared to fly—and to the future still taking off. 🌍✈️

Now gracing the local skies is the newest hangar occupant at Mecklenburg Brunswick Regional Airport . This beautiful plane is a Navy Aircraft Factory N3N World War II biplane. These were utilized as primary trainers for the hundreds of thousand of pilots that were trained and sent off to war in that time period.

✈️ Remembering John “Pappy” Mazza ✈️

The Mecklenburg-Brunswick Regional Airport community joins our friends and neighbors in mourning the tragic loss of a true aviation advocate, pilot, and friend — John “Pappy” Mazza.

Pappy was a passionate supporter of general aviation across Virginia, an active member of the flying community, and a dedicated friend to airports large and small. His enthusiasm for flight, his service to others, and his contagious spirit touched countless lives both in and out of the cockpit.

Though his passing came as the result of a non-aviation accident this past weekend, his legacy of friendship, mentorship, and love for flying will continue to soar high above us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone in the aviation and Legion communities who were blessed to know him.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Pappy. You’ll be deeply missed but never forgotten. 💙✈️
