re: Puppy scam
I had the same thing just happen to me a few days ago. What do i do??
Cross currents make landing difficult
This is a scary airport to land at. METAR does not show all the wind currents, even experienced pilots crash here.
Lincoln Park and folks fondly remembered
Knew Bill Fedishen (great guy, classic unforgettable character, who was a great foil for Ed. The two were classics of aviation.) Equally unforgetable was Ed Gorski who took my mom and older brother up in a JN-4 Jenny (or maybe a Waco?) in the old days. My first light plane ride, Cessna 172 (1962), first lesson (1964) through license (1969) being instructed by: Bill, Tony Farell (who, IIRC, did my license pre-check ride) and young Dave Brody (with whom did my last dual-cross country and my first & only spin). From Lincoln Park to 23 years in Naval Aviation.
Flight School
Trying to set up a Flight School at Killam/Sedgewick for the 2012 Season. Great for new pilots or upgrades to existing ones. It will hopfully fire up in May with the ground school. Anyone in the area that is interested can message me for more information.
re: DAM-IMAM an immigration officer.....DAMN YOU!!!

I was there for 365 days ' June 1961-June 1962 M/sgt James m
It was a long year
A Local Pilot
Hahaha Hey “What The?”, love it – how true, after all just before a commercial flight Martyn Smith collapsed (for the second time) with heart failure, a few weeks later he is back in the air with chest full of electronics (the bionic man) again taking commercial flight, his double standards in flying safety are interesting, where money is involved, its one rule where anyone else is involved its another and I don’t get the dobbing thing???? I reckon they don’t have the guts to say anything to anyone and so just scurry away to CASA (they must have a hot line). I think these people are mental and should take a VIP lawn mowing contract and stay away from aviation.
What the?
>>Wow what an extremely racist comment. About time some of you grew up a bit dont you think?????
I just read all this stuff, where are the 'racist comments', yes there were plenty of typical Oz comments but that how we speak here???? I am confused.
Either way I have met these people and they are just the most wonderful people (flying school/coffee shop) UNTIL THEY BURN YOU and they will (in a whim). I have seen these people demonstrate some of the worst airmanship I have ever seen by professional pilots, ground collisions and near misses on the ground, a complete failure to communicate their intentions on the radio and to respond to any call I have ever made them. This is not about Race its about double standards, poor airmanship and dobbing people in (and plenty of times when they were not present and on un-factual hearsay). Yes there people are wonderful until they burn you that is why people are expressing their objections on this site. Do I avoid flying to YADG? Yes, Do I trust these people? NO, would send anyone I know to learn to fly there? NO

re: Cameroon Pet Scam
THIS CAMEROON AFRICA PET SCAM started in 2004-2005 and is still all over the internet.
REMEMBER, ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!
Amazing
My favourite airfield of all time, nice people, fantastic bacon sandwiches! well worth a visit
Closed
This airfield has closed down, there is now no visible signs of the strip

This is not live information. Flights are only added after arrival. Flights that were supposed to have departed show as on schedule even when they`re almost an hour late.
re: your data is not about the new airport of iloilo
I've moved the marker to the new location.
re: your data is not about the new airport of iloilo
(www . exploreiloilo . com/iloilo-airport . html) here's the link i've forgot to paste it.
your data is not about the new airport of iloilo
the new airport of iloilo, the Iloilo International Airport is in Sta. Barbara and Cabatuan Area. more or less 22kms from the old Iloilo domestic airport which is what most of your data here describes.
the new iloilo airport actually has 2500m runway.

re: Flight France > Gabon with microlight BRM Citius
Hi,
No internet address available so far. Use phone instead, but beware they don't speak anything but spanish. AFAIK MOGAS is available but better check, airfield is actually in the middle of nowhere and I'm not sure any gas station is available in the vicinity. I use AVGAS and was forced to refuel in Jerez.
FPL may be submitted by phone, but if you fly to Morocco you have to pass custom in Jerez (Morocco is not Schengen area).
Regards lsalv
re: Flight France > Gabon with microlight BRM Citius
Reply to @lsalv: thanks a lot for the information regarding Trebujena airfield. I intend to have a stop over next month (mid-april 2012) before going to Tanger - Morrocco. Can I file a flight plan to Morrocco by phone (Jerez twr). Is mogas available at the airport or do I have to go to gas station ? have you the internet address of airport manager. thanks and regards. Michel.
airport quality
* The terminals stink of numerous foul odors at all times. (You can even see the military security agents smoking while standing under signs that forbid it.)
* Gate changes occur more than 75% of the time and delayed flights a higher percentage.
* The air traffic controllers "double stack" the flights to make their breaks longer. Double stacking is an illegal and unsafe practice where the runway isn't cleared before the next plane begins its final approach. If there were an equipment malfunction with a plan which has already landed that would keep it from being moved from the runway, a collision would be likely.
* Visas are a nightmare. There is no line/queue despite the illusion set forth by the digital signs. The visa agents will leave while processing a visa if it is time for a break or shift change, leaving the passenger in limbo.
* All alcohol is strictly forbidden (for non-Kuwaitis). Even bringing a small wine bottle off the plane can land an unsuspecting passenger in prison. At best, it will be confiscated (to later be sold or consumed by the arresting officer).
My advice... avoid Kuwait at all costs! Don't even land for a connecting flight unless there is no possible way to avoid it.
old data
Wataniya Airways is now defunct after the group of Kuwaiti "business" men left travelers stranded all over the world without a minute's notice and then refused to refund any portion of the fares already collected by the airline.

response to articles
Sorry, I noticed that my article came up as flier beware.
That is not me, I was responding to the articles and did not realize that I had to enter a name in the subject box.
re: Flier beware
Wow what an extremely racist comment. About time some of you grew up a bit dont you think?????
My Experience
From my point of view all these comments are correct. I flew in from Cessnock with my wife just under a year ago for 14 days holiday based in McLaren Vale (beautiful wines and country), we also did some local flying including a 2 day trip to Kangaroo Island (must see). Yes there was certainly some chaos in the circuit and I experienced poor / non-existent communications with other aircraft, it is certainly not the safest place I have flown to, but it was manageable with a diligent lookout. The little shop/ flying school had good food; the people were friendly and helpful. However over the period of our stay, we met several local pilots, some based at Aldinga and other’s from the surrounding areas and Kangaroo Island, from which we gained several perspectives and stories. Too many consistent stories from different pilots to just ignore as the odd disgruntled pilot, not everyone had a bad word to say about the flying school operators however about 80% of the pilots we met were of the same general opinion that these people cannot be trusted and have double standards. Several of the pilots I met had been approached or fined by CASA for incidents dobbed in by the flying school operators without every talking to them first (I don’t understand this, in Cessnock if you do something silly or wrong usually one of the instructor or experienced pilots will have a word in your ear and leave it at that, anyway that’s how we roll in NSW). Overall we had great experience in SA however the stories did make me very wary of the flying school operators.
Helicopter, Landing on private grounds
Hello
I am a Helicopter Pilot.
I'm going to Hotel Heiligendamm in Mecklenburg nahe Rostock.
May I land on their lawn, if the hotel permits.
Best Regards
Mads Odgård
By the way
Just read the comment about cowboy flying.
The only dangerous flying that takes place at Aldinga is by the operators themselves.
Terrible circuit procedures and a RECORDED number of near misses due to their "Can do no wrong attitude"
The lady who cannot fly but who runs the place and berates and looks to persecute those that she perceives to have done something wrong, is of the opinion, in her one eyed view, that they the operators are SSSSOOoooo so safe, but all the others that dare fly in there are nowhere near as safe as they are.
For one who cannot even fly, her attitude and interference with real aviators is woeful and leaves an awful lot to be desired.
Flier beware
If you intend to fly into Aldinga.
Be so at your own risk of;
(1) Bad circuit manners and procedures.
(2) Bad manners and the risk of being abused for something that the operators do not like.
(3) Highest avgas prices. Higher than Goolwa and other aerodromes who pay cartage where Aldinga do not. Rip off prices.
(4) Do something wrong, and you will not be approached to "Sort it out and clear the air" You can expect a call from CASA.
Makes one wonder why they are in the aviation business when the act like self appointed industry regulators and policeman.
Bad attitude toward the Australian aviators and Australian flying culture.
Should go back to the UK where they came from and practice their pedantic crappy outlook on their own countrymen.
Come to Australia and try and tell Australians how it should be done. Huh. we have a proud aviation history.
International Flights to & from Jaipur
There are only two International flights from Middle East.
Why there are not many International Flights to & from Jaipur? There is not even one from Far East.
International Terminal is being used for Domestic Flights only.
