My Stomping Grounds

Got my PPL in Manassas (under the original ADIZ) but I call HWY (formerly w66) my homebase. Great little airport.... all it needs is self serve fuel.

longer runway!

well, if this is the reason then I heard over the radio in Vigan that local officials already announced the start of construction. I hope and pray that this be done the earliest time coz malls in Vigan are overtakingly sprouting one after the other. Meaning people are coming heavily to Vigan, the cultural and commercial center, and the center of politics and religion! The church in Vigan is an Archdicoese.

reasons for commercial flights to come

Vigan is the old Ciudad Fernandina, the ecclessiastical center of the North, center of education, trade and commerce, a UNESCO protected cultural heritage, it was declared by UNESCO which no one is a UNESCO City except for Vigan. Vigan City is a metropolitan surrounded by 5 municipalities. It is the third oldest city / settlement in the Philippines which is manifested by the old commercial districts and residential structures . It is a tourist center and destination. It is so close to the province of Abra having no airport.

needs to put lights along the runway, a tower and a big terminal to attract airlines to operate. Vigan is a very strategic location economically, in military & air defense, because Vigan lies at the shores of the West Philippine Sea near Macau, Hon Kong, Hanoi, Bangkok , Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam).

Great spot to visit

Good restaurants, hotels in town. Excellent airport facilities including servicing by Carl at Tuna Aviation. Short taxi trip to town. You will need a valid ASIC as it's a RPT airport. Only 1.5 hrs from Adelaide and great views along the way.

CHEESE FACTORY RESTAURANT

bloody fantastic burgers and excellent hospitality and a short walk from the airstrip. Will definitely be back.

Great ATC Tower controller

I was coming in at night and the airport is very hard to find among all the other light clutter. A very patient tower controller turned ry30 up full and turned all the other runway lights off to make it easier to find.

re: Airstrip extinct

Reply to @HomerT: Thank you for the update.

Picture of david

re: Positioning and access

Reply to @HomerT: thank you very much for the comment. That's a long runway for helicopters -- are you certain that STOL fixed-wing aircraft don't use the strip?

re: BA128

Thank you. Here's what the Wikipedia article says about LFJL: "It opened to the public on October 28, 1991 and replaced Nancy-Essey and Metz-Frescaty airports."

I'd love to know the locations of the closed airports - we include those in OurAirports, too, with a red "X" icon.

re: frequencies

Merci de votre avis. J'ai changΓ© le frΓ©quence A/D. Qu'est-ce que c'est un "arrivΓ©e hub"? J'en ai jamais entendu, mais je ne connais pas bien la tΓ©rminologie franΓ§aise.

re: Amend to the NAV Aid featured here

Thank you - I've updated the navaid entry. Do you happen to know if it's in the same location?

re: Enoggera Airport

Thank you for the update. I wonder if there was once an airport here, since it has an ICAO designator and http://sabc.org.au/knav/airport/YENO.html lists a runway 03/21. I've updated the page.

re: Closed Airport.

GERAASBESOEDELING - VLIEGTUIG - CARLETONVILLE

Is die veld gesoneer vir 'n krematorium/begraafplaas?, dit is dan immers die gebruiksaanwending. Laat die selfmoordgevalle asb tog net probeer om op JSC se perseeltjie te val- vergemaklik die opruiming soveel.

PS: Verkieslik op teer, dan kan die oorblyfsels van dieselkes met 'n hoΓ«druk wasser afgespuit word!!!!!

Ek sien julle deel voor die voet "life memebrships" uit, is dit gewoonlik minder as 'n jaar??????.

O, voordat ek vergeet sal u so gaaf wees om my te voosien van die persoonlike besonderhede van julle mees aktiewe springers, sou graag lewensdekking op hulle wou neem met myself as die begunstigde!!! Ek was so spyt

dat ek die Tonto en die Rob Taylor boerpotte gemis het !! Sal nogal daarvan hou om van die kus af met julle te kommunikeer.

Groete tot volgende keer

Lake Keepit Soaring Club welcomes visitors

keepitsoaring dot com

Lake Keepit Soaring Club is run by club members so the costs are kept to a minimum. Visitors most welcome!

7 day a week, all year round (fantastic) gliding operations.

Excellent on-site and local accomodation

The terrain around the club is varied and interesting and there are literally dozens of airstrips and other outlanding opportunities around.

There's a good fleet of modern, well maintained aircraft or you're welcome to bring your own glider.

The Marker on 'ourairports' map is incorrectly shown on a dam wall, Lake Keepit airfield is 1km to North East at S 30.891000ΒΊ, E 150.526000ΒΊ
