About This Tool

Norfolk now has two airports, one in Madison County, Norfolk, five kilometres from the city centre. Another civil airport, located 6 km northeast of Norfolk, the second-largest city and port in Virginia, is owned by the Norfolk city government and operated by the Norfolk Airport Authority, air Service to southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Both airports were later built for commercial use.

Norfolk, which had previously been a major centre for military land, had built several military airports for military security. These include the Royal Air Force (RFC), Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), Royal Air Force (RAF), United States Army Air Forces, Fleet Air Arm, the US Army Air Force (USAAF) or the US Air Force (USAF), 53 of them are included in the random tool, and of course, the time when the airport was built, its current use, its past use and so on are all stored in the generator.
