CONTACT INFORMATION
It would be a great service to provide contact information for airport manager, air traffic conrol tower, director of air traffic, etc.
NOTE:
Don't confuse Romsey with Riddell/Penfield. This is why you are finding difficulty. There are about a dozen landing areas in close proximity.
Correct: Romsey YRSY
The photo is correct as are some of the comments. I was flying my RV8 for the first time on delivery from Parafield and it is true that the data in my EFIS was off in Port Phillip Bay. I have my RV8 hangared at Romsey. TO orientate yourself be sure to identify the Defence Vehicle Proving grounds. It is north and adjacent. Coordinates are: S37 23 30.00 and E144 44 18.00. Frequency: 126.7 Elev: 1500
pissed off local
Really sick of the whirring sound of the planes flying over head, low flying aircraft, the early wake up on saturdays and sundays. too many bloody planes over Myocum. Stay home guys or fly over the ocean.
re: .Ballyboughal International Airport
Try a smaller 747 next time.
re: Change the Name.
The said proposal has not been notified by the government and the airport name remains as BIA (Bangalore International Airport)
Boyup Brook Airport review
Great airport. My only criticisms are that the service was a little slow in the Chairman's Lounge and it took me a while to get through customs.
Tell me more
I fly from Jandakot and flew over this a while back. Is it open to the public for landing, or for a visit by car to view the historic aircraft on the ground?
re: Self serve 100LL
Fuel price in Feb 2012 is $1.60
This airport should move soon to another place
The present airport situated in the South of Nantes is going to move soon to the North of Nantes, between Rennes and Nantes.
It is intended to become the main airport of the West of France.
It is likely that much of the traffic now going through CDG Paris will go through this new airport in a few years.
PAROT

Dangerous
I was air america pilot here I 1980s. Best to be well trained before arrival. Mountains 3 sides. Severe drop off cliffs on both ends. There is no go around unless you are in a fighter. Approach straight in land to west take off to east. Always low ceiling and fog mist. Surrounded by river. We could get loaded c130 in here. Barely. Had a leased dehavilland that was better and safer. Oh yes there is a volcano off the east end about 7 miles outnon otherwise flat terrain. This is a real got ya if you are not paying attention. Also we are missing a c130 and crew out there somewhere. If you find wreckage report it.

Refuelling
In January 2012 I experienced the fact refueling service became expensive. We called them for fuel prices which we got. When we arrived they claimed 50AUD opening fee without having told us. No chance to talk to the service man. Better find another airfield for refueling.

Food
The only food available on the field now is from a vending machine. Restaurant closed. No transportation to town. Must phone rental car.
Internal flights
Please schedule for Internal flight too.
Thank god it closed
Good thing that old airport closed. It was too small, difficult approach, and short runway. It couldn't be expanded because of building surrounding the airport. So it was replaced by the new airport in 2004 and is following a similar fate as Kai Tak Airport, to be redeveloped into something else. And have any pictures of the passenger terminal and facilities?
Runway 07 25
This runway is now paved.
re: SVP International Airport Employees ask for Bribes
You must complain guys. This is not fair.
Accommodations
Great FBO. Had a courtesy car for us and found us a room when none were available. However, I would not stop there for anything but fuel in the future.
Runway
Very nice grass runway. Well maintained.

re: Lovely Airstrip
Coordinates are 43.735 -80.447 (you can set them in google maps or your GPS). Flying, it is just NW from the town of Fergus, following Beatty Line across the river. Note that there is another, unrelated airstrip NE from Fergus - closer to the Belwood lake - and a couple of others, also unrelated fields just SE of the lake!
The only other information I have is that CPG7 "Fergus - Juergensen Field" (the airstrip we are talking about) is a home of the Chinook ultralights community (liftoffaviation.com) Hope that helps...
Sanderson
Landed here to look at a Cessna 150. Nice clean airport. No courtesy car, not much for dining. Frequent skydiving. Great pilot lounge.
new info
According to the published data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alashankou_Airport from 4 October 2011 the Bole Alashankou airport ICAO code ZWBL has been assigned.
re: Lovely Airstrip
Reply to @dazuppa: hi, can you tell me what the coordinates are for this airstrip in fergus Ontario?
great airport and very beautiful
a very beautiful airport with green scenery of the "airport in the jungle" concept. clear announcement made with local dialects, english, mandarin tamil and arabic.
small international airport
clean, nice and great hospitality from people there. can find few fastfood restaurant kfc, mcd etc and dont forget to buy some local souvenir which is very unique and authentic.
Easy access
Next to A65 and the Adour river, easy to find. Long surfaced RWY.
Runsways
The runsways at Hucknall airfield are all grass .
re: Not for me...
Maybe you ignored and drove past the three signs telling you to park in the parking lot and not drive on the ramp? If so it shows your character to be that of, "I ignore rules and can do whatever I want", meaning they probably wouldn't want types like you there in the first place!
Not Finished!
As of January 24, 2012 the airport - new airport facilities - has just begun. A drive by scheduled in the next few days will confirm if the tunnel for the road traffic has been started. Noise or not this airport will be a benifit for everyone! Hell maybe even my Mom can convince my stuck in the mud father to get on the plane for a visit now that the drive will be shortened to 35mins to Penonome!
Runway Condition
I went & inspected the East-West runway by foot to see if it was suitable to land there on my next visit. The runway is clay/dirt, 1.5 car width, narrow, with a slight undulation along it. There are rocks that protrude from the surface, but nothing that a standard or heavy duty aircraft wheel would not be able to handle. You could only turn around at the runway thresholds.
There are no services out there. An unlocked gate to get to the airfield, but then another gate is locked at access to hangar and tarmac parking. It may be a private airport now, but best to phone the Castlemaine Council. It would actually be a great airfield if runway condition better.
I did not get to observe the North-South runway, but as I drove away, it did not look like it was operational, as of Dec. 2011.
cancelled flights
On Jan. 23, 2012, the 3:20pm flight to Toronto was cancelled. A passenger was given another flight at the same time on the next day. He was not given transportation from and back to the airport, a hotel room, or meals. I'm very disappointed in Air Canada.
Not an airport
This is not an airport. The only aeronautical around here is the Naval Museum, some 500 meter to the south, which also has a couple of aircraft on display.

PAPL is planning to do Charter flights to this great city... only if the airport is safe and operational. Inside info... will update further..
Airport/Runway
Runway in good condition, very pleasant airport manager, easy access to town, nice athletic club (tennis courts, soccer fields, pools, and sauna) adjacent to airport.
AIRPORT
HI MANCHESTER AIRPORT. IS A GREAT.

Really sick of the whirring sound of people whinging after they buy houses near airports (with the market prices reflecting that fact) only to start bleating about aircraft noise. Be more observant next time or go jump in the ocean.
