Airport comments for the World
Comments 11,312 to 11,361 of 15,713
i wonder lang why nila hinaharang ang mga OFW to collect som
its my first time to go back pinas arriving on DM airport sa Clark. im bringing a tv which only 32 inch. I got stuck with the custody officer kasi daw ng exceed ng 10,000 ang dala ko sa dapat ako mgbyad ng tax for the tv i bought... i was shock sa total amount of tax... 15% custom tax + 12% vat = 27% total tax... Im not the only one who bring home tv during that time we are 5 in the plane some bringing 40,42 & 32 inch, but im the only one na hinarang and they ask me to go to the office to calculate ung babayaran ko.. If may policy kyo na gnyan i post nio sa Airport explaining ung mga tax na gusto nio ipabayad at hindi ung manual kyo ngcocompute halatado na ibubulsa nio lang ung makokolekta nio... At why of all mga kapwa nio Pinoy ang sinisingil nio samantalang ang dmi foreign na dapat singilin sa excess baggage plang masyado nio na pinapaboran ang ibang nation... Tingin ko hindi na kailangan pangalanan ang mga officer na ito kasi ito na ang normal na gawain ng mga matatakaw na officer dyan at alam na kung sino ang mga ito wla lng ngrereklamo formal sa maraming dahilan isa na dyan,ung abala sa pgsampa ng reklamo at sa huli mpupunta lng sa wala,.. Madami ng kalakaran dyan sana naman pgtuunan nio ng pansin kung importante talaga ang feedback ng mga ngbibiyahe papasok at palabas ng paliparang pang-daigdig sa clark...
Stolen name
Toronto has to take everything. Billy Bishop, arguably the British Empires no 1 flying ace of WWI was from OWEN SOUND. Thats why the airport in OWEN SOUND is called Billy Bishop and was called that first. So good job Toronto, you couldnt think up something original and had to steal OWEN SOUND's airport name.

Excellent destination
Huge runway, easy to find, useful unicom and friendly folks in the FBO - great place to go, a useful alternative to Muskoka. Unfortunately, uncontrolled - but otherwise absolutely recommended to visit. Watch out for the floatplanes approaching - they actually complete a normal circuit for the runway 17, only to skim the concrete surface and land in a pond at the end of it! Looks unusual...

TRIGANA AIR has a regular service to OKSIBIL (OKL) from DJJ (Jayapura)
No AVGAS.
What a dumb idea to run a great big dry Airport.
Gove,
Good fishing, the night life nearly drove me round the bend. Airport a ways out of town, taxi booking can save a long wait.
Well worth a visit
Great Spot. Fuel. No landing fees. It's a good alternative to Port Augusta. The AP Manager is a top bloke.
Runway one way only
A high tension powerline runs accross the runway 18 threshold. Landings are to the north only, takeoffs to the south only.
Closed permanently
The Cargair base at Lac Kaigamac is closed, fuel is available a few miles north at the Marina "Nautique" in St-Michel-des-Saints on Lac Taureau
re: advice
It's a scam. Go to a reputable breeder in your own country, preferably one where you can go visit the facilities and see that the animals are happy and healthy. You might think it's expensive, but it's way cheaper than what people are getting scammed for, and you'll actually end up with a puppy, not just a lot of promises.
advice
I have never done anything like this before. I saw a puppy at a Hungarian website and made contact with the breeder.
Please read these letters and give me some advice!
1. thanks for your mail and interest, i will be sending you the female husky, as you require, but am a missionary and am out of the country that is why you will have to pay just for shipping cost of the puppy, if you are willing to pay 150euro for the shipping cost of the female, then i will require you to sent to me your complete delivery details

once i have these information am going to register the puppy to the pets delivery agency that will deliver the puppy to your home address. you will make the payment to the pets delivery agency once i will register her at the agency.
2.thanks for the question am happy you sound caring and more concern about the puppies health, they are currently vets with pedigree and has pets passports already, their parents i have sent over to the pets veterinary because of her age, you said you needed a female puppy and a darker one right? i will be sending one of the darker puppies you see on those pictures i sent to you.
Also as regards the puppy safety you don't have to worry about, she will be okay, i have a reliable pets delivery agency that will take care of that, and shipping will be just for few hours to arrive Budapest.
3.see attach the puppy passport and vets, am sorry for the delay response, just that i travel out of the city, and also i will like to
ship the puppy out today Friday because i will be travelling to another city, so i have recieved your delivery details, i will take the puppy to the pets delivery agency that will deliver her to your home address, they will contact you on how to pay for the puppy flight charges once am done with the booking of her flight.

re: Timmy the white fluffy Pomeranian.
PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!!
Timmy the white fluffy Pomeranian.
this is the email I received after I inquired about Timmy the white fluffy Pomeranian.
"Thanks for contacting me on my puppy, i am not selling her but i am giving her on adoption to a good home. She needs a good home where she will spend the rest of her life happily. Before giving you my girl, i will first need to know a few things from you. I need to know if you are a breeder because i am not interested in giving my little girl for breeding, i also need you to assure me that you can take good care of her. Also let me know when you want to take her home. Do you have kids ?
How is the nature of your job ?
Why do you want a puppy at this time ?
Do you have any experience with puppies ?
Will you send me updates about her from time to time and pictures ?
I am just being concerned about the type of home she will be going to, so that is why i am curious to know. I love her so much and i want to make sure she goes to a family that will show her the affection she deserves. Attached to this mail are some of her pictures let me know if you like her.
Thanks and waiting to read from you. Victorine Monique"
Then I told her my story and she sent this message...
"To tell you a bit about my self, i am Victorine the wife of Penn. I am 29 and i am expecting my first baby. I got married 3 years back and we are so happily married. I have been with dogs all my life as my Grand Father was a pet lover. I usually go there on holidays and would spend much time with the animals and house pets there. Timmy`s mother Milo was given to me as a wedding gift by my grand father.
We traveled to Victoria East Bay botanic garden research center Cameroon on research purpose. We are out to carry out a research on plants and backs of trees in the Victoria East Bay botanic garden research center Cameroon. The country is good in many species of plants and some of the plants and backs of trees serves as medicines. We would be here for 7 months before going back to the states. The climate here is not good for our puppy as it is too cold out here so the vet doctor advised us to send her to a place where the climate will be favorable for her stay that is why we have decided to give her for adoption. We live at Victoria city Kingston street 216 Samson avenue and do our research work at Victoria east bay botanic garden research center some 5 km from our home .
we not selling Timmy or giving her away for an adoption fee. All we need from you is to show her all the love and care she deserves and to treat her as a member of your family, sending us updates and pictures of her from time to time.There will be no problem flying Timmy to you as she has all her health papers and she will come with them. All you will need to do is to get back to us with your detail address that is your full names, your state, city, phone number, zip postal code and the name of the nearest airport to your location and we will do the shipping arrangements and fly her to you so that you will pick her up from the airport.
As soon as you get back to me with your detail address we will do the shipping arrangements and prepare the adoption and transfer of ownership document of Timmy at the pets department of the Douala international airport. When we have completed the shipping arrangements under your address, the pet shipping company at the Douala international airport will contact you for notification you will then pay the shipping fee directly to them which will cost $120. This fee includes all the airport charges so you will not have any other fee to pay. The pet shipping company will also let you know how the shipping and delivery works. It really hurts to see her go but we are just doing this for her own good.
When you are ready for us to proceed with the shipping arrangements you get back to us with your address so that we will do the shipping arrangements. You can call us on +23797966896."
Thankfully I've heard of these scams before and I have not sent her any money.
Pomeranian named Timmy
Victorine Monique = vickymon23@yahoo.com (phone# +23797966896) is trying to get me to send $120 to fly over cute little Timmy. SCAM! I'm not buying it. She said she travled to Victoria East Bay botanic garden research center in Cameroon. She says the climate is not good for Timmy. Please do not send any money to these people.
My stay on the airport
Due to the heavy foc over the Seine I had to abort my flight with the Mistral PH-2R8 from Lelystad (EHLE) in the Netherlands to Pont sur Yonne (LFGO) and had to land on La Ferté Gaucher.
I was welcomed very friendly bij people of the local "club ULM" and offered all the help I need (hangerspace, fuel).
There was a nice hotel and restaurant at the airport, so I had a good night sleep and reached my destination the next morning.
La Tontouta
Great airport, everything works, and spotlessly clean.
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Residing in Atlanta and use the Atlanta Airport for both domestic and international travel. I have been through many airports throughout the world and find the Atlanta Airport to be one of the best. The airport has a north and south terminal that are combined together. The rail system maks it extremely easy to navigate between terminals. A new separate international terminal is scheduled to open in 2012, which should make it very efficient with international travel and going through CBP.
re: Seaplane base
Reply to @ptomblin: so the FAA is wrong, go figure.
FLIGHTS TO AND FROM TZANEEN
Is there any commercial flights to and from tzaneen and where can i find the details?
Nice Friendly Airport !!
Landed there a couple of weeks back ona VFR from Picton to St. Thomas. Fuel staff were really friendly. Kinda like landing on an aircraft carrier when you approach on 26 and the traffic on the road about 40 feet below can be distracting but a nice challenge to your concentration.

Arrivals
Need to view intrnational arrivals for 4november..but it only shows arrivals and departures for today. What to do?
Wattle Hills Airstrip
Good sand strip but private. Cranky mob unless you are really stuck. No drinking water, no fuel (even if caught out) or facilities other a bit of a gunyah to get of the sun. Best to head to Lockhart. Mail service uses strip most Wednesdays. Flying Doctor calls also.
Malta Apt NDB
MLK 272 kHz is not shown on your map. N48 22 08 W107 55 02
THE Spilve
This is my home airfield. Very nice and friendly although no Avgas available yet
Maintanance
Placing new wind socks & runway marks & removal of small bushes along the runway.-Underway now.
re: Comoro
Reply to @Ozguy: Good catch -- thanks. We had Timor-Leste as a separate country, but a few of the airports (including Comoro) were still under Indonesia. I think they're all properly assigned now -- please feel free to edit any incorrect airports you find, or let me know, and I'll fix them ASAP.
eew e
wewefe
Comoro
A bit surprising that Timor Leste has been an independent nation since 2002, yet still appears listed under Indonesia. I notice it is that way in the Jeppesen manuals too.
Lots of high terrain to the south, necessitating a steep descent when quite close to the airport. Runway is pretty rough, but adequate. Lots of helicopters here, mainly associated with UN work.
Christmas Island
I enjoyed my visit here, but it is a long way from everywhere.
Of particular interest are the huge crabs (Robber Crabs) that are everywhere, including on the runway. Check for availability of fuel.
Finley
Beware of the powerlines on approach.
Evans Head
A former WWII RAAF airfield, with plans to develop it as a residential airpark.
Emirau
An airfield built in WWII with still good paved runway surfaces. A lot of history here.
Cape Gloucester
Beware of ash and rocks from the adjacent volcano.
Caloundra
Home to the Queensland Air Museum, which is definitely worth a visit.
Bulolo
An incredible aviation history here, dating back to the 1930's, when Junkers were used to fly in a complete gold dredging plant.
Broome
Quite a busy airport, with lots of Cessna Caravans coming and going. A great town too.
Bialla
Always enjoyed flying in here, as it is well maintained. Recommend landing from the sea (RW11) and taking off on RW29.
Anguganak
Always humid here, and the airstrip is subject to occasional flooding.
re: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
only domestic flights land in Bacolod-Silay Airport... like you, how i wish that there are international flights landing directly at the Bacolod-Silay Airport,. it'd save me money and most specially time
BRIL!
DSA is my home airport and I love it, never that busy and so much space, would definitely recommend it!
Landing Fee note
"Private aircraft will not be charged a landing fee however, a landing fee will be applied to all military, government and commercial aircraft." http://www.porthawkesburyairport.com/products.htm
Tourist off-loadings still raging at airports, by Jarious Bo
To those who have been victimized by the immigration officers at Clark airport, or NAIA, I am please to let you know that Jarious Bondoc of philstar.com have written about your situation. Please go to philstar.com and look for opinion. You can find Mr. Bondoc's article there. your comments under the column of Mr. Bondoc so more people will know about your sad experiences. I am a permanent resident abroad but what the Bureau of Immigration is doing under the guise of controlling human trafficking violates our constitution and it disgusts me. Do not allow this government to violate your basic right as a citizen because if you do, they will start chipping away more and more of our freedom. This Aquino administration is not about democracy as we can see.
Great AirPort
Nice People !!!
Upslope Flyers' Paradise!
You know those MS Flight Simulator airports which, due to a program error, are sitting in the bottom of a pit with vertical walls around - so you need to fly in circles to climb out or land? Volk airport looks exactly like that in reality, especially when you stand at the bottom of the pit, where both runways are crossing each other. More, the longest runway is not only upsloped both ways - it is also curved, framed with tall trees, and has a rather uneven surface!
Well the hills and slopes surrounding Volk airport are not vertical, but they still look impressive. If you are flying a Super Cub or CH 701 - visiting Volk airport will be pure fun. But if you are plowing the sky in something like a 65 hp J-3, with its engine a bit too beaten to give you the full power, and the air is hot... Uhm... I would say be very, very careful - you may not make it out.
I think that Volk airport is one of the most exciting and challenging grass strips around Toronto, and Lisa from Golden Eagle flight school (goldeneagleflightschool.com) is a very friendly and welcoming person, nice to chat with. Just get a right plane to go there, and enjoy the adventure.
