I believe the longest runway at Leesburg is around 5,000 feet, so if they added 1,300 to that I am not sure if it would be enough to accommodate a large commercial jet. I seem to recall that the larger commercial jets needed at least 7,000 feet of runway but I am not positive. Anyone have a better idea of the runway requirements???
