Leesburg Executive Airport to Host Holiday Open House on

The family-friendly event will feature flight schools, aircraft and equipment
displays, and photos with Santa.
Leesburg, VA (November 20, 2019) – The Leesburg Executive Airport will host an open house
on Sunday, December 8, 2019. The event will allow local residents the opportunity to learn
about the services and equipment used to operate the second busiest General Aviation airport
in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Staff will be on hand to answer questions regarding the airport’s day-to-day tasks while
representatives from each of the flight schools will be in attendance.
Airport equipment will be on display including an airplane, snow plow, and fuel truck. As a
special surprise, Santa will fly in for a visit around 1 p.m. Families are invited to watch him
arrive on the tarmac. Afterwards, for a donation of a non-perishable food item to Loudoun
Hunger, kids can sit on Santa’s lap and take selfie photos.
During the Open House, donations of new, unwrapped toys, appropriate for children ages
newborn to 16 years, will be accepted for the Leesburg Toys for Tots campaign. The toys will be
distributed solely within Loudoun County. Monetary donations may be given directly to the
local branch of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation by visiting their website
at https://loudoun-va.toysfortots.org.
The free event will be held at the Leesburg Executive Airport, located at 1001 Sycolin Road,
