A website devoted to the history of Manassas indicates that the name of the airport was Harry P. Davis Field; I don't know how they got HEF out of that.
As for Klondikes, you can get all you want at the Food Lions near HEF.

That is the rule that my wife and I have with her brother as we compete to see who can get the most states.

Current time around would be TMI - but as a clue, it does involve carnal knowledge of my wife !!

I remember seeing you on the flight to HI the only time I've been there.

It took me a number of years, but I did photograph the inside and outside of all 50 state capitol buildings (in Montgomery, Raleigh and Carson City, the legislature meets in a different building than the capitol, and I've been in those buildings too).

I have 5 states left to get to to have visited all 50 states but my other 50-states goal is golfing in every state. I'm 26 of 50 there.

The is one of my favorite clubs, since it still looks like a Crown Room.
If only DL knew how to find CVG on a plane other than a CR2.

Pretty sure this was my first time through CVG. Maybe it's just me, but the underground connectors felt extremely reminiscent of ATL, just with fewer concourses.
Got ensnared in IRROPS on the way out and the Sky Club agent was extremely helpful and diligent researching rebooking opportunities -- gave her a JWD ^
