Eagle's Nest is in Waynesboro, Virginia. Field elevation is 1,436 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 2,004 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. No ILS approaches are published here.

The field sits in a part of Virginia where terrain and density altitude can matter on warm days. The runway is short. Plan your performance numbers with that in mind. Deer are reported on and near the airport. There is also an obstruction note for runway 06. Brush and trees are left of the runway near the threshold area, so give yourself a careful look on arrival and departure.

For clearance delivery, Potomac Approach is the contact listed in the remarks. No repetitive practice takeoffs and landings are allowed after 0100 Zulu. The airport has been in operation since before 1959.
