No. 4 Gunnery School
Are there any remaining buildings from the No. 4 Bombing and Gunnery School. It is now a wildlife area but am wondering if some historical landmarks still remain.

General Info
Non-towered. Radio calls "Myrup Traffic" on 126.7 Mhz. Runways are 04/22 and 14/32. 04 is a right hand circuit, all the others are left hand. Look out for kangaroos on the runways when arriving around dusk.
re: Ultralight and Skydivers base
Reply to @dazuppa:
The trailer parks, 3 of them, are WEST of the airport, both patterns are EAST of the field.
The best way to get field info is by calling the Airport Manager found in the CFS listing, the nice folks at Toronto Aerosports are often not there for days on end.
The Parachute School of Toronto (info is available at www dot parachuteschool dot com) who also run a C-206 and several others on occasion will happily tell you what they are doing currently also.

Flying to Lac Desert
I am interested in taking a seaplane to Lac Desert and was wondering how much it would cost. I have a map of Lac Desert . It is North West of Maniwaki, Quebec. Send me a quote please.
History of RCAF Station Dog Creek, B.C.
The aviation history of the Dog Creek, B.C. airport both before and after WW-2 is covered in a full chapter in my book "North by Northwest" which is available from the author and publisher. The book lists the history of each airport in the Okanagan, Cariboo and from Prince George west to Prince Rupert. Visit the web site creeksidepublications.ca for full information.
BT frequency incorrect
Please update the VOR-DME frequency. It is now 116.1 MHZ

The little green aircraft on the map is not on the Chapter 65 field but is next field east. The two runways are to the left of the 'little green whatsit.
Airport lighting
Now available, and transmitter-controlled - details from Chapter 65
re: Is 100 Octane Fuel Available?
According to the Canada Flight Supplement, CYPX does have 100LL available retail (extremely rare for an airport in the Canadian North). You need to give prior notice by calling 819-988-2625 during weekday hours, and have to give seven days advance notice if you plan to pay by credit card. More details in the CFS (which you should have if you're flying up that way).
Unfortunately, it's not like buying gas down south - you can't just show up, ask for a fill, and then hand over your VISA. Still, it beats having to negotiate privately to buy barrels of avgas.

Wynyard Airport renamed W.B. Needham Field
The Wynyard Airport was renamed "W.B. Needham Field" on Saturday, 27 August, 2011. Flight Lieutenant (ret'd) Needham flew with 412 Fighter Squadron through the war, with a long list of notable accomplishments including 4 missions on D-Day in his Spitfire "VZ-R" before being shot down and taken prisoner by the Germans. He served at 412 Squadron with other notable airmen including Charley Fox DFC, Bar, and Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr., author of High Flight.
Location
I don't think that's the correct location. I think it's a little northeast of there. I just can't figure out exactly what field. I'm wondering if it's the field surrounded by trees, kind of a yellowish-brown patch on its own.
Airport no longer active
Mermoz used to take off here in the early days of French aviation. Today construction of appartements with only the old hangars remaining. Lasbordes NE is open for traffic.

re: complain:Diosdado Macapagal International Airport
question my friends and i are going to macau for a holiday problema lang yung isa kong kasama ay former ofw. kailangan nya pa ba ng oec para walang hassle sa immigration? owwa cert lang meron sya. i think she lost her oec. pwede pa ba syang kumuha non?
re: Why does this helistop exist?
Reply to @ptomblin:
Nope, no hospital nearby. This is a municipal helistop and is in the middle of a large area of office buildings. My guess is that planners thought that there would be some helicopter traffic to and from the buildings and wanted to plan for general access instead of every building needing it's own stop. This, obviously, was not needed as the helicopter as a mode of everyday travel is simply silly for most people.
Great service
Landed at CYWG this afternoon and parked my Cherokee at the Avitat. The first time I looked out the window, they were fueling my plane; the second time I looked, they were washing my windshield, as if it were a 1950s gas station!
Meanwhile, the woman at the desk found me a hotel room (nice hotel, very inexpensive), a taxi, and a list of vegetarian restaurants, and didn't even require my credit card in advance (as most FBOs do).
Runways
Officially 03/21 is closed, however it is usable if necessary to avoid strong crosswinds on 12/30. Surface condition is good but no longer maintained.
Home Base
Rhome,TX
New lounge at Kigali Airport
There is a new business class lounge at the airport which opened in August 2011 with free food, drinks and Internet access. Any passenger can use it for USD25 it is a welcome relief for anyone in the packed boarding gate sitting on the floor because there are not enough seats. They have a great bar for a cold beer before you get on board your flight.
Esso is great
I second the comments from @douglasr - the Esso Avitat (Thunder Bay Flight Refueling) has big-airport service without the big-airport fees (compare the Esso Avitat at CYUL or CYOW to see what I'm talking about): no ramp fee, no handling fee, no parking fee.
Ryan, who was on duty, was very friendly and professional: he even booked a hotel for me downtown and arranged for them to pick me up in their shuttle, so that I wouldn't have to pay for a taxi.

re: Mt.Fuji Shizuoka Airport is open.
deer and birds on strip
pilots should keep a sharp lookout for deer and birds on the strip
Nice and quiet
It's a beautiful and quiet spot with lost of friendly faces and BBQ's on Friday's :-)
Fuel
Called the Airport manager at +1 807 597-2135.
100LL costs $1.60/liter + HST ($1.81/litre, or $6.85/US gallon). Prior notice is required, but the manager said that it usually takes only 5 minutes for someone to show up, so it's OK to land first and then call the number listed above.
Regular hours are 7:30 am to 3:00 pm local. Outside of those hours, there is a $75 callout charge.

Mt.Fuji Shizuoka Airport is open.
The Mt. Fuji Shizuoka airport opened to Makinohara city Shizuoka Prefecture near the Shizuhama airport.
The establishment day is June 4, 2009.
Please refer to the website in the airport for details.
First visit
Was asked to leave as this is a private airport and I was trespassing.It seems as though the local Airvac Service is running the show with the cooperation of the sheriff. No one attending and no 100LL.
Re: Stupid Question :)
As there isn't a scheduled air carrier that serves the Pembroke Airport, the only legal way of getting your friend out east and back would be a charter flight. That would start at about $10000 for a small piston powered aircraft upwards to $50000+ for a jet. If that interests you, search for air charter in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. Otherwise, you might look into a limo to the Ottawa airport and then Air Canada or Westjet.
Airport information - flights to Durban
Do you fly to Durban or Johannesburg?
What are the costs?
Stupid Question :)
How do I or is it possible to have someone fly a friend to newfoundland for 3 to 4 days and then pick them up. Just wondering how much something like this would cost, and where would be a good starting point to ask around?

Chilko Lake Airport
Unless there is a strong wind from the lake, use a north bound approach and land uphill. With a strong wind from lake, approach from down river, stay close to the mountain, sharp dogleg to the left, full flaps when aligned with the downhill runway. Beautifull area, fantastic fishing, watch out for the grizzlies.

β @mbscjohnp at Weeze Airport, Germany
Where on the airport is the Aerodrome Beacon (to direct pilots to the airport from the air at night) located, does it rotate or flash, and what color(s) does it display?
