Bokaro the heaven city
Sir,
My emotions with Bokaro is very high because I have grown myself educatiionaly there only. Now I am retired from Indian Air Force as an Assistan Flying Contoller/flight operaion manager/Apron and hanger manager and looking for job in Bokaro only because my father had also serve for SAIL for 26 years in BSP.I too want to serve for SAIL. So, I am just waiting and watching when it will become operational and I get a chance to serve. . . . . . .
Regards,
Ainul Haque
No doubt in its opeational
Bokaro airport is already capable to handle the flights regularly because it has the proper infra for the facilities. Even the Runway is far longer than Jamshedpur. But it is not becoming operational because of the management and the DGCA who is giving the permission for flight operation from a particuar aiport/aerdromes. One fine day it will be operational. It is sure ..... Just wait and watch...
re: New English Bulldog Puppy Scam
Pretty sure I just got scammed. I sent about $130 to a woman with the email address meganmelisa@yahoo.com for an English Bulldog puppy named Kotter. I have been talking to her for about 2 weeks, and she has told me her son was sick before, then yesterday she told me her son passed away but the puppy will be here today, which hasn't happened, but while I was out of town today, she sent me an email saying that it was urgent and she needed to talk to me asap, so I'm pretty sure she is going to give me the story about the cargo person getting killed by a passing car. This has made me very upset. I took that money from my birthday.
Tricky winds, cheap gas
This airport is a gem!!! The staff are Real Friendly, they have both Jet-A and 100LL, the airport grounds are immaculate, and the terminal building is complete and neat (my wife approves of the washrooms). The runway is 02/20 so be prepared for crosswinds, and there is a lot of mechanical turbulence when the wind is strong from the west. No landing fees, parking is $6.50+HST per night (waived if you buy gas), and the 100LL price when I visited was $1.70+HST (same price as we are paying at Rockcliffe). This airport is much quieter than Gore Bay.
Terrific little airport, great scenery
My wife and I were flying from Rockcliffe CYRO to Manitoulin Island CYEM, but flight planned to stop here first for lunch at the Killarney Mountain Lodge. I also filled up with 100LL here, expecting gas would be more expensive on the Island (it wasn't). Beware the radio/etc towers around the field - maintain proper patterns and altitudes and there will be no problems. The waters of Georgian Bay are a beautiful blue-green from the air, and the people of Killarney are extremely friendly. We phoned the Killarney Mountain Lodge, and they came out and picked us up for lunch, then brought us back to the airport. See the NOTAMs for the phone numbers and hours for gas at the field (things are a bit more slow-paced in God's country). Gas is somewhat expensive, no landing fees, and they have a donation box if you choose (the federal and provincial governments provide no funds to this airport). Very good tie down area.
South River CPE6
12/30 has been reduced to 75' width; 04/22 is still full width. The idea is to make space for hangar lots on the south side of the airport property (MNR owns the land around the airport). The airport committee is taking their own sweet time to move on this, however.
Still cash or cheque for fuel (100LL). The runways have been thoroughly rolled this spring, and are very smooth (for turf on a sand base). The hill mentioned below is on the approach end of 30; be prepared to land deep, but touchdown before the intersection is not demanding for light aircraft. The rest of the runway approaches are pretty flat, although 04 could use some tree-pruning at the approach (south) end. There are some cell towers to the west and south of the field, just outside the circuit. Currently, there is one more (and bigger) hangar than the picture shows, at the south-east end of the line of three hangars.
re: re: Cameroon Pet Scam
Not a scam ok
Hap's
I was very disappointed with Hap's. You would think for an airport that size and an FBO that has been operating since 1946(or whatever the sign said) they would have better service. I landed here two times, once for fuel and lunch, and the second to stay overnight. Neither time did an employee bother to clean my windscreen. When I landed to overnight, a line guy met me on the ramp to ask about fuel and parking. I was unloading my bags as he drove away in the golf cart. A pilot that landed in a jet and parked next to my 172 offered to help me with my bags since I was alone and had three bags to carry.
I hope for Hap's sake a better service FBO doesn't start up at Ames, because they would lose business with any competition whatsoever.
From Wikipedia
Amravati has an aerodrome which is about 15 km off NH-6 towards Akola. It is in the area called Belora. The aerodrome is not used for commercial purposes. It is used only by politicians and others with private jets. It has a 1.5 km runway and a helipad.
Re: wrong location
Fixed! All it needed was a "-".
service
airport has everything you need after landing-easy connection to the city,nice ,sufficient and not expensive service,
wrong location
the base is not in the right place on the map, it is actually on the antarctic peninsula, not in the middle of the southern ocean!

Latest news about Jeypore Airport
Hearty news for the people of Jeypore and the surrounding areas. Jeypore Airport is going to be developed at a cost of 2.53 crore and the work will start during November 2011. Plans are also afoot to develop the Airport to handle 16 seater aircraft and the plan has been sent to Airport Authority of India for approval. In future the airport is to be built in an area of 800 acres of land from the present 54 acres. So in next two years people of Jeypore will be travelling by air.
re: also has KQTX code
Reply to @ptomblin: This is correct. "KQ" ICAOs are reserved for DoD use. You'll see KQs for the US weather stations in Iraq, Afghanistan, anywhere the US is stationed overseas. "EQ" is the NATO equivalent. In the case of KQTX, that's the weather station at Kirkuk. ORKK is the airport ICAO. Observations from ORKK are from the Iraqis whereas observations from KQTX are from the Americans.

Least favorite airport in Virginia
Sorry to say, but this is my least favorite airport in VA, and there's only three now that I haven't hit yet. The controllers were inattentive, unresponsive, and kind of rude. When asked which rwy I wanted on arrival, I said 34L. Got cleared for 34R. Later, Clearance Del left me idling in the heat for at least 5 minutes, claiming to be looking for my flight plan, which was in the system, and the estimated departure time I'd filed was right on the money. I was glad to get out of there, and I won't be back. I feel sorry for VFR pilots who have to fly up there in that SFRA mess.

re: wyalkatchem airport
If you have complaints about an airport, could you provide details to help other visitors (and the airport owners, if they want to improve)? For example, did you think the fees were too high, the gas too expensive, the service too slow, facilities not well-maintained?

Scheduled Passenger Service
United Express operates flights from Yampa to Denver quite regularly. Most other airlines like American, Continental, Delta, and Frontier fly seasonal routes here to and from their main hubs. It's the only airport in NW Colorado to offer passenger service.
wildlife
I just wanted to thank you for killing all of our turkeys and deer with out even trying to solve the problem in other ways. There are sprays that can be used to discourage deer from wanting to eat your run way. The tall grass around your runway should be kept low, this would not allow the animals to feel as safe. Simple harrasment with blanks would do wonders. or best yet fencing the property would be the best answer. but killing them all, come on use some sense and this could be solved in a much less abrasive manor.

Aldinga Airport
I flew into Aldinga today, took a friend for a scenic flight along the coast and dropped in for lunch. I have always found the people to be extremely helpful and friendly. After our lunch we went back to the aircraft only to find it wouldnt start. The people at the airfield could not do enough to help us, finding me a new starter motor and a LAME to install. I cant talk more highly of them. :)
re: re: Cameroon Pet Scam

Flying into Springbank
I just flew into the Springbank airport for the first time about 2 weeks ago while on a cross-country from Abbotsford to Calgary. I agree that the approach process is a little complicated, especially while coming from the South (you end up talking to Calgary Terminal, which then hands you over to Springbank), but nothing terrible - if you've never dealt with a controlled airport before, it might take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise it was fine. Calgary Terminal was very friendly - when they asked me to report over a local point, I just told them I wasn't familiar with the airport, and they gave me vectors all the way in. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Springbank was also friendly, providing ground directions & advice.
Expensive Travel
What would it take to get some competition for flights to/from Traverse City? It costs $300-500 more to fly in and out of Traverse City than other cities within a 2 hr drive.
Complaint
It is a great idea and it is very useful to track flights, however it is disrespectful to keep this kind of information if it is not updated. I checked right now the Avior (9V) 1220 Flight departuring from Barcelona, Venezuela and it appears scheduled, and really it is delayed. and the delay is more than one hour.

— Anonymous Flyer at Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base, Philippines
Yes, you are so right about this. Criminals and/or wanted people are and were able to make lusot from BI officials at the airports. I wonder why
