Rocky,

The easiest is Manassas (KHEF). You'll be flying in on an IFR flight plan but so there are no special things you need to do with HEF and the tower will close your plan with Potomac approach. Two FBOs on the field. I recommend APP Jet Center on the East side of the field. I base there but several MITS drivers use it when they visit DC. The manager (Quinn Reddin) is a good guy and costs are very reasonable. If you belong to CAA or UVAIR you get a nice break on fuel as well (and their list prices aren't bad). They have a Hertz rental onsite but can give you a ride tithe VRE train station (about 2 miles away) if you want to take the train into town (just know it is a commuter train...lots of runs into town in the morning, runs back out in the afternoon/evening).

Another alternative is Stafford (KRMN) which is South of town. No tower but I think they have rental cars on site. The problem is they are right on I-95 which is a gosh darn nightmare both ways. Manassas is west of town near I-66 which tends to be a far better drive than I-95 (it's why I live West instead of South of DC).

Give me a call at (301) 529-4547 if I can be of help.
