The state of Virginia officially broke ground at the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) in late August for an Aviation World’s Fair being planned for early spring 2003. Although the concrete taxiways and ramps being laid on the 180-acre site will initially be used to launch and display aircraft during the three-week fair April 7 to 27, 2003, local and state officials eventually want to develop it into an aviation business park after the event concludes.

The Aviation World’s Fair is a public-private partnership of the state, city of Newport News, Peninsula Airport Commission and Aviation World’s Fair Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of New Jersey-based Kallman Worldwide.
