great hospitality
Decided to make another trip down from Parafield via the coast and Coorong as a birthday present for a longtime friend. Circled the town and on landing was greeted by George who thought it would be nice to come out and say g'day. Not only that he gave us a tour of the town showing all the new development taking place and dropped us off at the cafe/restaurant by the lake. Hospitality there fabulous as was the food and view over the lake. Gotta have their burgers. Wandered back up to the main street and rang George to thank him for all he had done and he insisted dropping us back at the strip...only a 15 minute walk anyway. This has to be one of the best kept secrets close to Adelaide. GREAT DAY OUT!
Thanks again...Colin
re: scammed for chihuahua puppy!!
Reply to @sarah1987:
hi sarah, i dont know if it is to late, but i fell for a scam for sugar gliders from cameroon, and i called the Western Credit Union (which im assuming they asked you to wire money from) and they have a fraud hotline and it allows you to cancel your money transfers. I am lucky i found this site because i cancelled my transfer shortly after. The best of luck :)
PI Immigration
I am a British guy who travels out of Clark every week. Fortunatly i have a good job which allows such frequent travel. Even myself travelling with a girlfriend on a PI passport was interogated by these arseholes who think they represent PI immigration. I myself was recently stopped on arrival and questioned to why I travel so often. Have tried to seek legal advise, however PI immigration are trying to arselike the USA on Child trafficiking claims, so unfortunatly all travel is now being looked at. unfortuantly every Filipino who has the right to leave a free country is being discriminated.
Basically all philippine consulates around the world have a procedure for issuing avadavid support is a person wants to visit that country if friends are there. The difficulty is when a Filipino want to visit a country as a tourist.
On the Tiger Airways website they mention about this .
Unfortunatly until the USA believes thePI has human trafficiking under control, this discrimanation of travellers will continue.
re: Bihar hai yaar...
dude try to kar sakate hain ..... why don't we try collecting the data and then suggest a plan to Nitish Kumar ...... infact I think Patahi airport has more land compared to Patna airport ....... also Patahi ariport has better scope of expansion compared to Patna or Bihata because it has more open land around it .......
re: Airport overview
ourairports.com doesn't have its own fleet of satellites. It has to rely on what Google provides. If the picture is out of date, then only Google can update it.
Airport overview
The satellite picture is at least 3 years old and doesn't show the new terminal that is the only one in use now and for at least 2 years from now.
re: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
Bacolod-Silay was built to "international" standards, hence the designation "International". But it is only domestic airport. Depending on where you are booking from, generally, the gateway to the Philippines is through Manila. There are regional flights landing at Clark, some miles north of Manila and also at Cebu, central Philippines.
So far, Bacolod-Silay needs a runway lengthening to be able to accommodate long range, heavy jets like the B747 or the A-340. That is why there are no direct international flights coming into BCD. Clark and Cebu are former US airbases and are long enough to accommodate even a C-5.
Some airlines have codeshare agreements with Philippine Airlines and Cebu-Pacific which allow them to book seats giving the impression that they fly into those cities but these are actually fulfilled by the local airline counterparts. I hope I was able to address your question.

re: Downsview Park shuts down Toronto`s Canadian Air & Space
Reply to @prattsoplenty: I'm very sad about this. I went to the museum last year, and was amazed to find it was in the same building where I'd been in the Air Cadets in the mid 1970s (188 Squadron). It's a great little museum - obviously underfunded, but a real labour of love.
Downsview Park shuts down Toronto`s Canadian Air & Space Mus
Toronto -- September 24, 2011 -- Toronto's Canadian Air & Space Museum has received notice from its landlord Parc Downsview Park that the Park will be locking the doors today and closing the Museum to regular business.
The Park, a branch of the federal government, has control over the Museum's access after changing the locks following Tuesday's original eviction notice. This threatens to bring a sudden and disappointing close to the Canadian Air & Space Museum's 13-year operation of providing the public an opportunity to experience Canadian history.

Great Yuppy type town
Very nice small airport. Close easy walk to town. Nice shops and restaurants. Try the restaurant down by the ferry dock, my daughter says its great.
Grass
My first grass strip landing! Bumpy but I enjoyed it so much, I did it three more times! Nothing here but grass. You should get permission before you land.
Decent
Decent small airport. No services on field. Great place to land and camp. State park is down the hill on the North end of field. Call Tiffany's Resort (about six miles around the lake). They will come get you. They have cabins and boats. Great fishing dock, nice trout, I have fished here for years. They also run the resort in the winter months for hunters. http://tiffanysresort.com/
Stop here if your engine is about to fall off
I stopped, I looked and I left. Interesting approach to the field is the most exciting thing about Tonasket airport. Long ways to town.
3 miles to town
Three mile bike ride to town. Long steep hill just outside of town. Not much here.
Nice
Great college town, to far to walk. Great FBO on field.
Great airport
Very pleasant people here. Small air carrier on field as well as a small air guard squadron of aging fighter jets. If you need a repair definitely call Ken Gooch 541-882-5856. This is his cell. The man is a master! Just ask anyone on the field, they all know him. Funny too! He saved my butt. I landed and the fan immediately quit turning. It took Ken about thirty seconds to locate my problem and less than an hour to get me back in the air.
Quality
Very clean tidy airport. The pilots lounge is maintained wonderfully. There is even pop, goodies and cookies in the frig. Camp on the grass and walk on the beach. If the water level is low, don't let the mosquito's pack you off.
Nice
A bit of a walk to town but a great small airport.
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.

β Anonymous Flyer at Kingscote Airport, Australia
First time on KI. Beaut flight down the coast and across the water. Fantastic runways, even the dirt one but what a big disappointment with the facilities at the terminal. A vending machine and water fountain, and this is supposed to be one of the premier tourist destinations in not only SA but Australia. Whoever is in charge needs to get their act together. Port Pirie which isn't even an RPT airport is streets ahead
