Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress

Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress (ICAO: KNFE, FAA LID: NFE) is a military use airport located in Chesapeake, Virginia.

This military airport is owned by the U.S. Navy and is under the operational control of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia.

The airfield primarily supports day and night Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) operations by US Navy and US Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, and US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft based in Virginia and the Carolinas.

On 5 July 2011, it was announced that NALF Fentress would close in January 2012 for 9 months for major repairs.

At the end of June 2014 the Chesapeake City Council voted unanimously to use city and state funds, who plan to put up about $1 million each, to buy property near the Fentress Naval airport in order to prevent encroachment onto the airfield.
