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: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
good news everyone!!!! beginning january 2, 2012, zest air will open international flights to/from incheon, south korea.
re: This placement is incorrect.
Thank you - I've moved the marker to the closest runway-like thing to the coordinates you specified.
re: Scheduled service to/from General Villamil Airport
Thank you. I've changed the airport entry in the database.
re: flights
Thank you - I've marked the airport has having scheduled service, pending further information.
re: Runway info
Thank you - I've added the frequency on the Pilot Info page. Do you happen to know the runway orientation and length (e.g. Runway 9/27, 800m)?
re: Airstrip extinct
Reply to @HomerT: Thank you for the update.
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: Verwoerd
Thank you both for the discussion - I've updated the airport page.

re: Verwoerd
Reply to @ptomblin: The Airport is now called Port Elizabeth International Airport! Thanks for the cool site :)
re: frequencies
Merci de votre avis. J'ai changé le fréquence A/D. Qu'est-ce que c'est un "arrivée hub"? J'en ai jamais entendu, mais je ne connais pas bien la términologie française.
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.
Thanks for the update. I've marked the airport as closed for now, pending any more information.

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 hoëdruk 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 30.891000º, E 150.526000º

Closed Airport.
Porrentruy Airport is closed. Must use Bressaucourt Airport since summer 2011. About 3 km SW of Porrentruy.
Very close to border
The runway is very close to the border with Bangladesh.
Awesome Airport
This airport is awesome! Open on Christmas Eve was a bonus when I dropped by for a quick stop-over. Highly recommend a visit!

Sutton County Steak House
Great food within 1/4 mile of airport.
re: re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Reply to @david: Yeah, I made some sort of paste error when I saw the subdivision.
re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Reply to @ptomblin: that's the same location I found in the Australian AIP (you just have to make the latitude negative).
re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Reply to @david: My Eurocontrol data gives the lat/long as 37.391667 | 144.738333, but I don't see anything there except a subdivision.
re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Found YRSY in the Australian AIP and corrected to the latitude/longitude listed there.
re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Thanks. Online databases seem to have a tough time with this airport. The first one I consulted (as well as Google Maps) put it in the middle of the ocean. A different source I found gave this location, which at least actually has an airport shown. So
1. Does anyone know the correct lat/lon for Romsey?
2. Does anyone know what airport is shown here? YPEF?
custom control
sadly the one thing that bugs me is, the amount of time you have to wait at custom control , been visiting Mauritius for more than 30 years and it has never improved and that includes this year too .
THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
ROMSEY *YRSY is not this airfield. Romsey is about 8 km further north,zoom in north of Monegeeta for the real ROMSEY.
re: another scam email!!
I paid $65 money gram to a lady in arkansa , then had to pay a fee of $375 for travel for my puppy cage to be safe , i informed the lady i could not send that much she stated she would pay $175 if i could pay the $205 , but the money would be given back as soon as their cage is returned undammaged , im really concerend that i have scammed
BA128
Metz/Fresaty is closed.......
re: Story about midair collision
Reply to @david:
I completed my CPL and ME-IFR out of Bankstown. I then logged over 1000 hours teaching VFR students. The essence is to look outside the cockpit when approaching any airport and particularly an inbound reporting point such as 2RN (radio mast) or Prospect Reservoir at a busy GA training centre. With so much available as pilot aids, GPS and Traffic Warnings, it is too easy to be distracted by what's displayed INSIDE the cockpit while the actual danger is OUTSIDE. Under VFR, the PIC is responsible for separation. 2RN is difficult to see in some conditions but the instructors (one is each plane) know the cues for finding it and need to explain that to the students, all while looking outside the cockpit!

Hi, please correct IATA-Code for Basel. It should be BSL not BAS.

re: Do something about the Glenora/Vietnam experience!
I've never been to Duncan Airport, so I'm not sure about the situation, but at most airports there's something called a "circuit" that aircraft follow. Generally speaking, it's a rectangle about 3 km long and 1 km wide, with the runway in the middle of one of the long sides (and it can flip locations depending on the wind direction). At an airport without a control tower (that's most airports), everybody flies the same circuit for the sake of safety. They'll be at about 1,000 ft above ground level on the long side that doesn't have the runway (what we call the "downwind" side). It's important that everyone use the same circuit to avoid the risk of midair collisions, and to provide an orderly way for multiple aircraft to approach the airport and land (it's sort-of the flying equivalent of a four-way stop, where there's no light, but all the drivers know and follow the same rules).
So if you live under the circuit, unfortunately, there will be many aircraft flying repeatedly at 1,000 ft above your house on days when the wind favours the corresponding runway. That information is public (there are even often different zoning regulations near an airport), but most realtors either suppress it or outright lie about it to make house sales, then any home owners who don't like airport operations are left feeling angry and duped once the realtor has run off with the sales commission.
Do something about the Glenora/Vietnam experience!
Endless circling of large low flying helicopters is not fair to the neighbors. I understand that they need hours mechanically etc, but have them fly in larger darn circles!
Great spot to visit

— Anonymous Flyer at Port Lincoln Airport, Australia
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.
