Norfolk VA (ORF) to Newport News VA (PHF) and return, 23 miles each way.

Piedmont Airlines, 1986, Shorts 330 each way, sole pax on ORF-PHF sector.

Bought a round-trip ticket for about 30 bucks, needed it to get 2 additional segments for a free-trip promo that Piedmont was running at the time.

And it was true O&D - I left the airport after arriving at PHF in the morning, went home, then back to PHF for the return flight in the afternoon.
