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.
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...
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?
I have been searching the net and have been unable to locate any pictures of the airport. I am wondering if anyone has any pictures of the airport at rainelle?
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.......
I would be very interested in obtain a copy of that video. What would be the beat way to do that? Does your brother have a website or a number I can call to order the video? Thank you.
You can call my brother Gary Aide at the office of Red Oaks...Tell him you are interested in the Squire Haynes Tape......304-645-2415.....He will mail it to you.....We all enjoyed the tape because we all knew Squire Haynes...... I hope the tape will be of help to you obtaining some info concerning the airport.........
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.
I am getting re-energized about buying the airport for sale. I was wondering if anyone knows weather or not this property has been offically listed. Is there a website or local realtor that I can call? Any help would be much appericated. Thanks you.
