I loved this town!
Great small airport. The pilot lounge is great. TV, couch, recliner microwave etc. Sleep here if you need to or borrow the ports bicycles and get some exercise on the short (1 mile) trip to town. Definitely eat at the Coyote Pass Cafe in town. I told the patron that her Starbucks quality mocha was way under priced and she told me she doesn't run the restaurant to make a killing she just loves to serve people. I believe it, the food was first class! Be sure to stop by the museum. The down home very pleasant ladies that run this place will happily and very pleasantly tell you a story about each of the museums artifacts. Be sure to ask them to darken the room with all the rocks and also be sure to check out the meteorite. I plan to return. I pitched a tent on the grass by the fair grounds and slept just fine. No fear in this wonderful small town.
Wind and Tuna
Watch the wind here, It blows often. Great strip, close to town (1 mile to center of town). Stop at Merino's Seafood in town and load up on the best canned tuna you will ever eat. You will never eat a can of Chicken of the Sea again! www.merinoseafoods.com Small family owned business. They use only pole caught tuna. You won't be disappointed! I fly there once a year to just for their canned tuna.
Decent grass strip
Watch for the "marked" power lines at the North end of field. Not an issue, just be aware. Need permission from a property owner to land. Just land and ask, that's what I did. :)
airport
looks good can i buy it
Decent grass strip.
Supposedly need permission to land but all the numbers associated with this field have been disconnected. Land and ask an owner on the field, I'm sure you won't have a problem. No near by towns.
Condition
The airport that got left behind. I landed here back in 1979 and I believe nothing has been repaired since. The runway surface then was great! Today its a crumbling poor example of a runway. Very sad.
Great field
Slept the night here (in my plane). No close hotels but one of the best airport cafe's you could ever ask for. Small in a hanger pilot shop with great people. A real down home feel to the place. Stop and relax over a great meal at the Tail Dragger Restaurant.
Food
Food and hotels within walking distance. I saw no active business on the field other than a card lock fuel station.
In the middle of nowhere.
No amenities. Great touch and go light mountain practice.
First class country type service
KDLS is one of those out of the way "Gem" airports. No real close amenities but the airport has a couple "free use" courtesy cars. Fill her up of course when done and show basic respect for the property. They will toss you the keys, no paper work not even Id just plain old country courtesy. Short drive to town for all your needs. I recommend the Country Cousins Hotel / Motel for a nights sleep. Be sure to eat at the Cousins restaurant, show up hungry. Big Jim's restaurant for a burger. When I was there the line was out the door so everyone in town likes the place too. I'm not one to frequent the Corporate places but you will find all those in town too.
Fly the Gorge, its beautiful. Watch for power lines and stay on your side of the road if flying low altitude. If flying under low clouds, when you reach the narrow part, fly to the center until clear. This is not my personal experience however passed to me from a worker / flyer at the airport. Very bumpy in the gorge when the wind is up. (Sept 2011)
Evergreen Aviation Museum
The museum has been drastically updated over the past few years. If you were there say more than five years ago you won't recognize the place. Definitively worth a visit. After you land, either call the museum or ask the FBO for a shuttle ride. The walk to the museum is a short f or ten minutes but the 4 lane highway with a turn lane is busy and dangerous to cross. Cross at the light if you prefer to walk. I did, after the long flight from KBVS the walk was refreshing. Watch out for circling hawks at KMMV. There were a dozen or so the day I landed (September).
Access
This airstrip is owned & operated by BHP Billiton Iron Ore and services it's yandi mining operations and surrounding exploration activities.
The strip is also shared By RTIO Yandicoogina operation. (The Yandicoogina strip YYCN listed no longer exists)
Airstrip extinct
This, once private airstrip, was owned by Hamersly Iron for exploration activities. It 'disappeared' many years ago as the ground has been mined and the strip destroyed.
Rio Tinto currently shares BHP Biliton's Barimunya strip.
Access
This is a private airstrip owned and operated by BHP Billiton Iron Ore to service mining activities in the area.
Positioning and access
This airstrip is a private strip owned bt Rio Tinto Iron Ore to service the Namuldi, Brokman 2 and Silvergrass mining and exploration activities.
The position is closer to S22.39186 E117.37623 (this is the approx position of the "terminal" (or shed)).
he position show is on a range and would be inaccesable by fixedwind aircraft.

Was Land-o-lakes
This used to be a great little strip called Land-o-lakes or something like that and was very friendly.
I understand that has all changed which is really too bad since there are very few other options in the area.

What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
I am a resident abroad and when my company book a flight for me it all boils down to Manila Airport only or Termninal, 1, 2 or 3; but never Bacolod. Their reason is because Bacolod-Silay is not an international airport but a domestic airport only. Is Cathay pacific, Qatar, Emirates, Gulf Air, Lufthansa and other international carriers landed or departed Bacolod-Silay International Airport yet?
Homebuilt/experimental aircraft center
Previuosly - military airport, currently used for general aviation (experimental aircraft builders). Long - 2000 x 50 meters - runway (asphalt), hangar.
Number-1 in Lithuania !
Located in river Nemunas river park, previuosly - had one of the biggest glider factory (during soviet occupation time 1940-1990), which is still open, but little slow, very active gliders club (organised world gliding championship 2006, European gliding championship 2011).
Skydiving activities - daily, several hangars, friendly people, small pub, pool, sauna.
Several private organizations, providing glider/aircraft repair services.
New runway (600 meters, 04/22).
I'd like to be the first visitor, you're fairly close to us.
I'm looking for a home for my 1942 Taylorcraft - L - 2A
My qualifications: aircraft does not eat much, does not take up much space and is fairly quiet, is not very heavy - "will not leave deep ruts." It is in original trim.
Thanks,

My Dad's Legendary Takeoff from Flying Patch
I remember hearing stories of my Dad (Jerry Vaught) and Brother (Greg) piloting a large Cessna 195 aircraft safely in AND out of this tiny airfield. I just recently found the entry in my Dad's logbook. The aircraft was a beautiful 1952 Cessna 195 (N302GT) that my Dad owned at the time. By the way, Hallmark Ornaments used this exact aircraft as the model for their 2007 "Sky's The Limit" Christmas ornament, only they changed the N-Number to N302JB from a previous designation. Nevertheless, my Dad and Brother fondly remember the fateful day in Oct. of 1982 when they attended an Antique Airplane Association fly-in at Ozark's Flying Patch in the 275HP aircraft. Landing was fairly easy, but the takeoff was tense. People attending the fly-in asked my Dad how he was gonna pull off a 900 ft. grass strip takeoff in an aircraft that big. So when show time came, everyone lined up to watch what they thought would be a disastrous takeoff attempt. My Brother recalls helping my Dad push the aircraft's tail back to a small dirt road along a tree line, Dad doing a thorough engine check, putting on full flaps, holding the toe brakes tight, then winding the engine up to near takeoff RPM while my Brother helped Dad keep back pressure on the yoke to keep the tail down. (Sounds kinda like a Navy carrier takeoff doesn't it?) With a quick snap, Dad released the brakes and gave her full throttle. According to both my Dad and Brother they rolled off the end of the runway at the edge of the bluff and sunk down into the valley just moments before the wings really started to take lift leaving the landing gear a few close feet above the valley tree tops. Moments later as they circled around to buzz the tiny airfield to let everyone know their takeoff was successful, my Dad turned to my Brother and simply said: "Son, that was a close one."

re: nakakatakot
Mas grabe pa itong administration ni Pnoy kaysa kay Gloria. Ang ginagawa ng Bureau of Immigration is against the constitution. The right to travel is guaranteed in the constitution. All of you who have been victimized by the immigration should write to your favorite columnist or radio announcer to write and discuss about this in the media. Mike Enriquez of GMA is a good one and also Jarius Bondoc of Phil Star. Good luck to all!
Cool
This looks like a pretty remote place to me. Though there is a road to it as well as an airport.
re: can fly airlines
The only thing I could find on CanFly Airlines is this promotional video from 2007 on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QY1yDbnAmo Unless you are planning on virtually flying somewhere, I think you might be out of luck.

Can someone please assist me in finding info regarding the new flights out of airdrie on can fly airlines?

Self serve credit card fuel available 24 hours a day now. 1.94 a litre all taxes in
Customs and Immigration
Pilots can clear Canada Customs or US Customs at Eckharts, but for north bound flyers you have to call 1800CANPASS and give 2 hours notice. The grass runway is kept in good condition and there is an 800 ft strip of blacktop that is on quite a steep incline. The wind is generally out of the south, but the best landing, obstical wise is north bound on 33. Use 122.8 for Creston/Port Hill traffic. Remember that because the airport is in the US you will have to check in with US Customs even if you are north bound.

re: Still a nice place
The airport was struck by lightning during the big storm a few weeks ago, it took out the runway lights, arcal controller , fuel dispenser circuit board and popped a few circuit breakers.
the repair costs have exceeded $4,000 but all systems are functioning very well now.
The fuel cost is usually lower than surrounding airports and CNP8 is the only one around with Mogas
The airport is a no winter maintenance facility, but it is cleared when the snow is not too heavy
re: Second runway planned
Reply to @FortMc: thanks for the link. It looks interesting, though I think the architect who made the 3D model might have been over-optimistic about how many airliners would be on the ramp at once. :)
Nice
