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 fly airlines

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.

OMG - what if that was your Granny, Mother, Sister, or Auntie? Is your life that horrible that you cannot find anything else in your heart to comment on other than you had to wait! What is this world coming too? You honestly need to pray and search for guidance in your life. HONESTLY

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. :)
Bagabag
Haven't flown here yet. Wish i could someday. May i know if it is operational again. My hometown is practically 30min away from this airport.

ALG
It is a ALG, not manned by any agency. If you are lucky you may get ATF here, else may not...
re: New lounge at Kigali Airport
@anonymousflyer-I've tried the lounge there too and its excellent! I think it was called Pearl Lounge. Internet was fast, food was tasty, staff were friendly, seats were comfortable and whats great is that they allow walk-in passengers (I was flying economy).
re: Emergency Landing
Reply to @Cougar20: maybe next time it will be our life at risk and youll realize what a jerk you are for complaining about a 2 hour wait
re: complain:Diosdado Macapagal International Airport

Rosales airport
Already non operational, grass & potholes all over the runway.
Not the prettiest - but the cheapest
Airport is slowly getting flixed up - but in some places - they only painted a turd.
Runway is nice - but backtrack for 13 can be a pain. Grass strip is not bad - and makes a nice shortcut to clear runway/get to the terminal on busy days. Wildlife can often be a problem on the runways.
What comes after greasy spoon?? ... because that is what the restaurant is. (but some of the food - and the hours - are good)
Cheapest fuel in Southern Ontario - and their new cardlock can get pretty busy on most days because if it.
Unicom/FBO folks are extremely helpful. The AME onsite at the local shop (which restores/repowers old See-Bees) is very good
The new nicest airport in the area
Airport has been completely renovated. Runway is even longer. New restaurant in main terminal. (along with a few snack machines)
Fuel costs as much as Greenbank - but is full serve here - and has fully stocked FBO!
Usually very busy - but also very friendly. Has a nasty backtrack for 09. (but most small GAs only backtrack the first 1/4 mile or so from Delta - and I have seen a few roll right from Delta)
Has grass strip too that even some of the twins will use...but can be soggy in spring or after good rain.
Neat collection of old wrecks in north corner, dc3, tri-pacer and a few other interesting derelicts.
Still a nice place
The area is beautiful - but the airport has slowly fallen into disrepair since the accident a few years ago.
Still a nice little airport for a summer diversion to be sure - but not the cheapest fuel in the area any more (both Lindsay and Peterborough are considerably cheaper) ...and during my last few visits (3 of the last 5) the fuel pumps were not working at all. Also - do not count on the ARCAL J working - during my last visit, i spoke with a few of the local tenants who mentioned that it hasn't worked in awhile.
The grass is well kept - and they host a few fly-ins over the summer months. (if you visit during a fly-in, you usually find a nice distinct centerline mowed on 16/34)
Snow removal in the winter is extremely rare (but really nice when it happens).
uuups ! where are the airplanes ?
close it down morons!1
re: Billy Bishop - isolated from town

Re -José Martí International Airport
Excellent airport..easy in and out - only a 20 dollar taxi fare to anywhere in Havana and civilized too...in the departures area, while you're waiting for your flight, there's even a 'smoking lounge' for smokers.
OHAP airport
For several years, I have had OHAP as a base, flying a Cessna 150, C-FLUG. presently for sale. What's special about this private airport? The parking terrain and runway are very solid and well maintained. Some services available; best to phone first one of three numbers listed in Canada Flight Supplement 2011. LEON WOYCHUK is the local AME with a hangar at the SouthEast of the field. He has serviced my plane for several years. I can vouch for his quality workmanship. You are welcome for a fly-in visit.
Great small airport
Very active airport, great price on fuel!
re: The Ghost Airport of Beja?
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I´M AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER AT BEJA, BUT MILITARY, THAT MEANS THAT I DONT HAVE WEEKENDS AND I DONT EARN 10000€ FOR MONTH. WE WORK FOR THE CIVILIANS WITHOUT PAYMENT EXTRA. AND FOR ABOUT THE WEEKENDS THAT IS JUST ONE MORE FLIGHT. WE WORK ALL THE WEEK WITH CIVILIANS PLANE FROM ALL THE ACADEMY THAT SORROUND BEJA. AND THIS IS NOT A AIRPORT THIS IS A AIR FORCE BASE WITH AN CIVILIAN APRON.
Runway info
The runway is earth and local VHF frequency 119,70 only when Aeroclub has airplane activities. Usualy Gliders and ultralights flying in the area

For more airport information and landing permition, you can send email at Kilkis Aeroclub email kilkisaeroclub@hotmail.com
Airport info
Fuel, MoGas or AvGas, can be arranged upon request from local aeroclub , Kilkis Aeroclub.
Visit Rialto....while it is still there.
The city is still trying to close the airport to build yet another idiotic strip mall....that nobody wants or needs. For now thankfully the project is "underwater" because property values are only 1/3 of what the builder Louis Homes needs to just break even.
Aviating at Rialto:
If you like testing your crosswind skills L67 is the prime destination for it when the Santa Ana winds are blowing. If they get too much for you there is always rwy 35 to get you safely on the ground.
Fuel and pilot supplies are available at Art Scholl Aviation.
what is your e-mail address
great place
I called in there the other day and was made very welcome. great coffee there ,fuel available, great scenery and nice people .

My home base
Great out of the way overbuilt airport. Hardly ever used but first class home port.
flights
it seems an airline serves Zugapa ( Sugapa ) Airport that has flights from Nabire (NBX) to Sugapa.Its name is AVIASTAR MANDIRI .
Prickett-Grooms Field Airport
Had a pretty scary experience getting out of there!
My advice: Be light and be familiar with these rough rural grass strips as I've been told this one can bite you!!
Nice field near beach
The field is only a few km from nice beaches.
Runway 27 downwards a bit, but runways always cut like a golf field!
Grass strip north of Lübeck
Always very short grass strip, 500m light slope to the west
Brians Inn
Brian's Inn is located about 1 Km from Njoro Airstrip. For accommodation, small group conference facilities.
re: Latest news about Jeypore Airport
The callous and lethargic attitude of our local politicians have taken a heavy toll on the development plans of Jeypore region. The airstrip at Jeypore was built in the year 1962 and by now it should have been a key air connectivity centre in the tribal hinterland. 25 years back Vayudoot airlines conducted regular flights from Bhubaneswar, Vishakhapatnam and Raipur and now there's no service thanks to our shameless politicians. By now there should have been at least a daily flight each from BBSR, Vizag and Raipur given the number of people travelling to those places on a daily basis for business, trade and other official activities. The only train that plies between BBSR and Jyp is insufficient to handle the passengers and generally overcrowded. Hence it is imperative that the airstrip at Jeypore should be developed immediately to handle at least three daily flights so that people from the region and also the neihbouring Chhatisgarh, could benefit immensely.
About flight from Delhi to Raxaul
