Leesburg, Virginia. Both lie within
the 30-nautical-mile, circular-shaped
SFRA. (It is centered on Ronald Reagan
Washington National Airport.)
Aviation Adventures officials said
some of their renters and clients land at
airports well outside of all Washington,
D.C.-area airspace and drive the rest of
the way, wanting nothing to do with the
