This is pre dragstrip days---Reno Skypark Colonial Beach VA The earliest reference to the Reno Skypark which has been located was in the April 5, 1956 issue of the "Potomac Interest" newspaper (courtesy of Orville Ingram ) . The article read, The new 'Reno Sky Port', an airfield for Colonial Beach, is now being used. The new airport, 3.5 miles from Colonial Beach, on land belonging to Walter Massey, was put in use last week. They have a runway one mile long, which will eventually enable any type plane to land on the field. A telephone will soon be installed so that any plane using the field can obtain transportation. Also aviation gasoline will be available & a hangar will be built.
