TL;DR - a relatively small number of airports in the US allow for international flights to land, with appropriate advanced notice. the relatively small airport 5 miles from the paule-carres property is one such airport. this is a compilation of information which looks at transportation options in winchester, VA. i believe it's relevant to the pizzagate investigation, but if it's too vague, i will repost in the whatever sub.
Winchester is a small city, population approx 27,000 people (http://archive.is/MhVge))
We have established that Tony/John have a cousin with some interesting medical/adoption facility access/ownership in Winchester Virginia, at 124 Amherst.
in an effort to tie this property to an international travel company, i found that they are within 5 miles of an international airport (kinda)
the winchester airport has "international landing" permission from the CBP - which allows international traffic to land/deplane with case-by-case permission.
this is relatively rare. there are 89 international airports in the us, out of 14000 or so.
there are approx 270 "landing rights" airports in the us.

the three nearest airports close to winchester, DO NOT have customs permission:
FRR (http://archive.is/E03Et)) is smaller
MRB (http://archive.is/4En3P)) is larger
HGR (http://archive.is/5G24w)) is significantly larger
cbp requirements for customs-permission designation: http://archive.is/nEp05
in order to get this designation, the airport had to provide a document proving that they met these requirements:
"The actual workload in the area must be one or a combination of the following:
15,000 international air passengers (airport).
2,000 scheduled international arrivals (airport).
2,500 consumption entries (each valued over $2,000), with no more than half being attributed to any one party (airport, seaport, land border port).
350 vessels (seaport)
150,000 vehicles (land border port).
Any appropriate combination of the above.
"
note that the wiki page cites a grand total of 36,574 flights per annum, meaning that nearly 6% are international (to qualify for their status)

Sounds like it would have been a perfect place to bring Madeleine McCann into the country!

Upvoat for excellence research with archived sources, nice job. Any way to see how the private limo traffic compares to similar sized airports in similar locations?

https://www.flightbridge.com is the site which holds that answer.
looking at the three closest airports, FRR, MRB and HGR (mentioned in original post), FRR and MRB have 2 and 3 limo services respectively, while HGR has 7 - all the same as OKV, plus one.
in and of itself, the limo services may not point at any specific link...i'm still digging...but if we can find some of the international flights which arrive (assuming they document them correctly) at OKV, we may find a connection.
If you want to look up airport stats in general, the resources i found most helpful are:
globalair.com - for airport stats
flightaware.com - for flight status
flightbridge - for services associated with each airport
registry.faa.gov - for individual tail/owner/address lookups on individual airplanes
i'm currently downloading registry spreadsheets and looking for names/corps associated with people on my research list - all the names at 124 amherst, the connecticut block, the podestas, etc. if they have an airplane, i'll find it. or maybe you will. someone will.
once we find a plane, we cross reference it against the flight logs at okv.
