The answer is Norfolk (ORF), VIrginia.  It's located between Oceana Naval Air Station and Norfolk Naval Station.

This navaid is located at an airport in the U.S.A. which had
airline service a long time ago. 

It's about 50 miles away from an international airport.

The town/airport/navaid is named after the Pioneer who blazed a trail through the area in the 1700s.

The first name of a famous early 20th Century adventure writer from the city honors that Pioneer, who was his maternal great grandfather.

The city is located on a river canal, and displays a preserved lock. 

There also is a distinctive type of bridge over the confluence of two rivers, one of the few of its type in the U.S.
