Stafford Regional Airport
[1] The airport is southwest of the intersection of Route 630 and U.S. Route 1 near Interstate 95, approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of Washington, D.C., and 60 miles (97 km) north of Richmond.[3] Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Stafford Regional Airport is assigned RMN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned RMN to Rumginae, Papua New Guinea).[4][5] Stafford Regional Airport covers an area of 566 acres (229 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (15/33) measuring 6,000 x 100 ft (1,829 x 30 m).For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2018, the airport had 30,141 aircraft operations, an average of 83 per day: 93% general aviation and 7% military.[6] The pilot and three passengers were killed when the aircraft flew into trees surrounding the runway after an aborted landing attempt via ILS.
