I was able to stop by Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport last weekend. It's a beautiful airfield located just a few miles from I-81 in Weyers Cave, VA.
When I arrived a Titan HRP 4x4 ARFF truck was busy watering the grass.

There's always some nice business jets on the ramp.
Hawker 900XP, N816SE.

Then a DHC-8-202 skirted by the field. It's owned by Dynamic Aviation operated on behalf of the US Army. I was hoping it would make a touch and go but it just continued west at low level.

A nice PC-12, N12FA, owned by Fisher Auto Parts, arriving back at its home base.

Beechcraft King Air, N75Z, owned by Dynamic Aviation. You’re almost guaranteed to see one of these planes if you visit SHD.

Two 762s, N769DA has been here for a few years and a new addition, HS-JAD.

HS-JAD, is ex Jet Asia Airways. Nice to see a Thai registered plane in the Shenandoah Valley.

Seems like they've cut the fuselage to fit perfectly onto the trailer.

The main gear, wings and stabilizers.

Finally while I was leaving 2 F-18s flew over at high level.
