re: Runway Conditions?
Does anyone know a place where I can land my Maule (800' of dirt or small rocks is fine) near Prince of Wales hotel at Waterton? I am staying there for a few days in August and cannot figure out the best way to get there by plane.

re: Cross currents make landing difficult
Hi,
KSEZ was landing number 4 on my long solo cross-country flight during my flight training (my "3 towered landings" x-c: The first 3 ldgs were at Flagstaff, another bumpy, cross-windy airport!)
Most of Arizona's airfields, especially those in the more northern parts, can be windy, gusty, and bumpy - that's just Arizona flying... but if the air was always smooth and always straight down the runway, everyone would want to live here!
Don't let the "SS Sedona" spook you - it just looks scary since it is up on a teeny, tiny looking mesa. But it just ~looks~ that way. (That's how it got the nickname "SS Sedona" - it kinda looks like an aircraft carrier landing...)
Here's the trick to landing there - NEVER try to put it down on the numbers! Land a little long - there will almost always be turbulence and even downdrafts at the ends of the runway - since the runway ends at the edge of the mesa which falls off rather abruptly to the valley floor below...
Come in high, maybe a few knots fast, with a good sink rate and make it a short-field landing. Even though the runway looks small (since it looks like it's all alone up there, perched on a mesa) it really is plenty long and wide. It will probably be windy, so just keep flying the airplane all the way to the tie-downs.
Get it tied-down and visit the FBO - get yourself a "SS Sedona" souvenir ballcap so you'll have braggin' rights. Then visit the new restaurant there - I hear they have good food!
When you are done, go out and make a short field take-off so that you've got a little altitude under your butt before you pass over the far end of the runway - you'll be fine!
Have fun!

type of runway
rough asphalt runway
too far
dog gammit, this airport is so damn far away!
re: Best aeroclub around.
I agree ,it is great airport.You can use the grass during the summer.Ring the club during winter months for serviceability.runway 17/35 good for x/wind training.Sadly moorabbin airport is being screwed by the government and MAC,so its refreshing to come to Tyabb...Capt Bob
amravati airport developement is a big dream
It's not pune or baramati, hence the amravati airport developement is rejected by maharastra government and and the previous civil aviation minister praful patel who is also from vidharbha but opposes the developement work of amravati airport in vidharbha.only god can do the developement in vidharbha region of maharastra. I hope in the coming 10 -15 years it may complete. ha ha ha jai vidharbha, get a separate vidharbha otherwise ready to loose all the developement work for another 40 -50 years, becoming a part of sanykata mahrastra is in 1960 was a very big mistake, now maharastra goverment is fighting for belgaon with karnataka government but not doing anything for vidharbha. shame on maharastra government.(western maharastra government)
Historic Exhibits
Once upon a time there were several exhibit panels detailing historic moments in aeronautical history in Kingston. They were very interesting. For some reason they were removed and I gather are now in storage. Why? They should be remounted and, frankly, in a more public area than just the security-closed-off departure lounge.
On a related matter - yes, Porter should fly into Kingston. I would make far greater use of our local airport if I could get into downtown Toronto directly. Flying into Pearson and then paying $50+ to get downtown (one way) is why I now take VIA, despite having to put up with commuting times that are much longer.
No more airfield at LFSR
air base closed
MHT

Johannesburg
I am excited for the Prince Mangosuthu airport and I can not wait to fly from Johannesburg to ULD. I've been stuggling going to Vryheid as I had to sit for hours through construction on the way with the 40min stop. Please really consider Johannesburg.

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!!!
please mention the name of that immigration officer/s para mapaimbestigahan natin.
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

— @mziemann at Dateland Airfield, United States
I have flown over this several times enroute between KTYL and Yuma and wondered about it - it sure looks nice... but lots of restricted airspace around, with all the military training ranges. What can you tell us about land nearby if you have recently bought property there?
