Yeager Airport, also known as "Charlie West" is the largest and busiest airport in West Virginia with daily connections to Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, Orlando, Chicago, and (seasonally) Myrtle Beach. It's also the base of military facilities such as the West Virginia National Guard and the Capital Jet Center for general aviation. The airport itself sits on a flattened hilltop 300ft above the valleys of the Elk and Kanawha River. Due to its short runway (6,715 ft) and the hills which drop off sharply on all sides, this makes the airport one of the most challenging airports in North America.
