    Gravelly Point is a park in Arlington, Virginia, United States. It is located north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, along the George Washington Parkway, and across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
    Today, the park is a primary intersection on weekends of boaters, cyclists, and airplane-spotters. Its unique location just a few hundred feet from the north end of Reagan's runway 1/19 makes it one of the best spots in the United States for airplane-spotting.

    As a young man, I'd ride my bike there and watch the planes. It used to blow me away how the Ransom and Piedmont Dash-7s would appear to hover as they lifted off on windy days. Then I learned to fly and got a job at NATIONAL flying charter out of the old Butler terminal at the North end of the field. Then I got a job flying Metro's out of NATIONAL for a small commuter. Then I took my little kids there to look see the planes. Then I got a job at one of the Big 3 and flew 727s,-737's-757's, and the Airbus out of there. Now I am a retired old man with a bunch of great memories. Love it.

    I grew up in this area and every time I visit home, Gravelly Point is on my itinerary. Spent a LOT of time there in my youth.

    Way back in the day, during summer vacations, I would ride my bike from the Ft. Myer main gate, past the Iwo Jima Memorial, along Arlington Nat. Cemetery, & along the Potomac till I got to Gravelly point & watch the action for hours, & ride back, never breaking a sweat. Not so much 35 years later.

    I hope they cleaned it up. I wouldn't allow our children out of the car, in the 80s.
