I heard from my grnadfather who lives in Beckley that the Rainelle airport may be for sale? Can any one confirm this? He heard a bit of the story at the local baber shop and thinks the asking price may be as low a 150,000. I am very interested in this would love to have my home on an airport. |

I know that several months ago someone was considering buying the airport? Does anyone know if it was actually sold? Thanks. |

The employees at Paul's Auto Sales made weekly trips to the restaurant for lunch. It was a neat atmosphere for small town America. I'm sure we'd go back if it were open.

In reference to the airport's restaurant it was a fun place to go with great homecooking...they had a buffet....the success of the restuarant was not certain however they were only open on weekends...it was a wonderful time when the airplanes were able to fly in and have a little something to eat...Now understand the if the weather was not good for flying then the restaurant would not do as well........
My brother, Gary Aide made a short video about Squire Haynes and The Rainelle Airport...It is very beautiful aprox. 12 minute video....The video was the last day the restuarant was open....and interviewing Squire...etc......Gary has a video business and sells his videos......also a good view of the airport and the airplanes flying.......

Thank you for the info. I just spoke to Mr. Willams about the property and it sounds like a great deal. I was wondering what the locals thought about the resturant on the land? Was it very busy and did people enjoy going there. It would be nice to reopen it if I did purchase the property, but I just wondering if it would provide a suitable income to live on? |

Hello Mr. Thomas,
You may call Ralph Williams administrator of Squire Haynes estate.
304-438-7221 ....... Good Luck in acquiring the property.
There is several lots already sold at the airport prior to Squire's death....At the time the only one allowed to buy a lot was someone who owned an airplane...
We are waiting for the restaurant to open..lol...
