re: Bader Field memories
I agree, having had many flights in and out of there over the years with my father. My latest book, "Bader Field" (Nightengale Press) is aptly named because that was the last place I saw my father. There is a good amount of flying in the book. (The cover has a shot of my Dad next to his last airplane (Aztec D) at Bader Field.

re: re: Cameroon Pet Scam
THIS IS A SCAM - THERE IS NO PARROT! ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!
No info
This site is not designed to provide any meaningful information!
is it the school?
The school have been dobbed in for flying low circuits, touch and go's and general noise! Have only ever seen l/h circuits. Plus there are no local places to stay/taxi service so while she may have seemed unhelpful she was probably just breaking bad news. Was the fly in organised by adl biplanes or the aeroclub? As they say in thailand same same but different!
Bader Field memories
Great memories of Bader Field. My solo flight in 1967 was one my greatest thrills. My first flight instructor was Joe Trappy who also was the GM of the field. Joe also taught my dad at Wings Field in 1945. To think that Bader was closed for "development" purposes just gets under my skin. It was a great place for a kid to learn and grow up.

One of the oldest airports
Chennai's airport is one of the oldest in India, and it does stand to that reputation. Enter the washroom and you will be back in 1950s!
The air conditioning is sometimes not sufficient even in the international departure! There is no internet connection availability.
Sheep On Strip
Be sure to conduct a Prec Search & Landing in order to clear the strip.
Old pics
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall from 1968 thru 1971 and would love to see pics of the base from that time period I cannot find any of my old pics that I made while i was there, I am planning a trip in the fall to come for a visit this fall after 40 years and I know it has changed since then. My email address is james@hcvso1officer.com, I am a veterans service officer helping veterans with their benefits.

Re: Not an airport
The marker has been moved to the proposed location for this airport. The 2004 Operational Feasibility Assessment Report can be accessed here: http://members.pcug.org.au/~mikec/srcg/docs/airfield.pdf
Cazeaux airbase
Hi, I would like to visit the airbase in August, if a visit onsite is not possible, are there places on the outside where I could see the active and non active aircraft

Not an airport
This airport marker is centred on Mount Gibralter at Williamsdale which is the first line-up marker for Canberra airport approach.
International Airport in Patna
We want atleast one International Airport must be in Patna, because if we are comming from any gulf cuntries then we have to come via Delhi or via mumbai and to reach our home town atleast we have to spending 30 hour this is to long jurney for a short distance.
Communication
No comm! look out
Pourvoirie Escapade's
Place to land and refuel with no problem,
runway conditions
Be very careful landing at this airport, runway 36 is extreamly bumpy and the other runway has signigicant surface conditions. you will be luck if you don't damage your plane. No courtesy car.
Bring your swimwear
There is a public beach across the road from this great airport that has very clear water. Having to turn around on the upwind side over sloping terrain was interesting. The poutine served at the restaraunt is excellent and the Piper Cherokee "windsock" is worth the trip to stop here.
Business Port
Top-notch business airport. Terminal is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. There is some GA life in and around, but it is obviously built for the big bucks and biz jets. Unicom is helpful and all the services are in place, just don't expect that cozy feeling of the local aviation community, etc. Lake Simcoe is a totally different category - and aparently a good one in what it is.
Busy GA Airport
Lots of GA activity, scenic location, big runway, well-maintained taxiways. A number of interesting machines parked around - from ultralights to PC-12. Helpful unicom and cozy terminal. Easy to find and nice place to visit, just keep an eye on the traffic!
Good place to visit
Google image is quite dated - currently the airport looks way better! Another runway added and the grass one is in a very decent condition. Ramp and the whole maneuvering area are well maintained and clean. This airport is home for a vintage aircraft restoration group, there are Tiger Moth, Canuck, Baby Ace and other fancy birds flying around. Overall - nice place to visit and check out those magic old planes, and chat with enthusiasts working on them.
respond from PAL
aahahaha pag sure oi..
new Activities for this AIRBASE
here are two official annoncements regarding further usage of this airfield:

"United States Ballistic Missile Defense Site at Deveselu Air Base in Romania"
Fact Sheet
Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance
May 3, 2011
"The United States and Romania jointly selected the Deveselu Air Base near Caracal, Romania, to host a U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System which employs the SM-3 interceptor (also referred to as the “Aegis Ashore System”). The deployment to Romania is anticipated to occur in the 2015 timeframe as part of the second phase of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) – the U.S. national contribution to a NATO missile defense architecture.
The EPAA will provide protection of NATO European territories and populations, and augment protection of the United States, against the increasing threats posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles from the Middle East. At the November 2010 NATO Summit, the Alliance welcomed the EPAA as a U.S. national contribution to the NATO missile defense capability."

Romania Air Base to Host U.S. Missile Shield
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
Published: 3 May 2011 18:50
"DEVESELU, Romania - Bucharest said May 3 that U.S. missile interceptors would be deployed in southern Romania, a key link in Europe for a defense shield, prompting Moscow to ask for "safeguards" from Washington.
Romania and the United States have been negotiating for more than a year about the deployment of ballistic missile interceptors, which should be operational by 2015.
"We have decided that the anti-missile shield will be deployed at the former airbase at Deveselu," Romanian President Traian Basescu said in a televised address.
Moscow, which fears the shield could be turned against Russia, swiftly demanded assurances from Washington."

Brand New OLD Airport
I think Kyiv did a crummy job on the airport remodel. It is like you have a "brand new" "OLD" airport. What is this deal with buses to airplanes, rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc?
There are so few seats around that it is pitiful. Having generic checkin-counters may seem like a good idea, but is worthless if you are trying to find a specific flight/airline, for example, to just check your bag a little early.
The only good thing I can see is the international departure area, more chairs, and a few resturants that charge in Grivinuias, which are cheap.
Overall, I would only give KBP a 2 or 3 out of 10. It is pitiful compared to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Minneapolis, and so on.
Not friendly
...not a friendly airport at all....stay away unless it is a forced landing.
Funchal airport.
airport located in front the sea. all accomodation, duty free, coffee, taxis stops, parkings lots, cars rental, not far distance from funchal
Nice airport, nice scenery
Went there on a saturday, unfortunately the restaurant was not open right that moment. Nice personnel, no landing fees (was a private flight on a commercial-registered aircraft...).
The scenery is gorgeous with Mont Tremblant not too far.
Customs
20110712 Just checked with Canpass: CPX8 is considered AOE - we can clear Canada customs there
It is going to be a big airport very soon...
HBX airport is going to be much bigger than what it is today.
The land acquisition process has started already.
Great stuff coming up Hubli way.

Runway designation
Why does the information on this site show the runway headings as 18/36 when the satellite photo clearly shows the runways as 13/31 ?
Nice private runway (PPR)
A very nice grass runway in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards. At the East extremity of the runways there is a fabulous Hotel in an old Castle : La Berchere (***). The access to this private field is submited to authorization! Check their website...
customs
does this airport have customs to enter indonesia from
Quiet Airport
With the closure of Carp Flying Academy, and the general economic slowdown, this airport has become quite quiet. Which means it is a good place to visit for practicing circuits. Very well maintained, and a fuel pump with credit card card-lock. The Unicom is generally silent - don't expect an airport advisory.
Touch N Go Aviation, a pilot supply retail outlet, is onsite - you can taxi right to the door.
EAA is onsite, as well as a number of hangers. Ottawa Flying Club, according to an article in COPA Flight, is looking to temporarily relocate here while YOW 4-22 is repaved.
Friendly Fly-In Breakfast, Challenging Approach and departur
Flew here today for their annual fly-in breakfast. It's a gravel strip, with a well-compacted chip surface. In all the years of doing a breakfast, we were told this was only the second time they needed to use R12.
The approach to R12 was challenging, in the that topography on final is quite high. Stay focused on the runway and not the topography under your feet. Manage your speed and use full flaps. Consider a short-field approach profile, just so you're focused on getting the wheels down early. If you decide to reject the landing, make your decision earlier since the departure is also quite "fun".
Departing R12 is not that challenging. Unless you are light, high-powered, or have a STOL a/c, you'll do a normal takeoff but then turn SE (as stated in the CFS) and fly over the town as you gain altitude. Start the departure run on the grass before the R12 runway threshold, so your a/c is moving and there is less chance of sucking up a stone chip into the backside of your prop.
And in-between the landing and the departure, Bancroft is an attractive town with friendly people.
Terrific Day Trip Destination
This airport is a paved runway, a windsock, and an apron. No buildings. No fence. No unicom.
On the apron there are several heavy poured concrete blocks which you can move and use to tie-down the tail, and a cable running down the length of the apron to tie-down the wings. Unfortunately, the cable is a bit far from the edge.
There is a notice board at the west end of the apron with a phone number for the golf course - apparently they'll drive over and pick you up (I did not try it). The golf course is at the east end of the airport.
Across highway 2 is Upper Canada Village, it is a short (5-10 minute) walk. Per-adult entrance fee (2011) is $20.95 plus tax, there are also child, senior, student and family rates. There are two restaurants inside UCV, plus a working sawmill, flour mill, blacksmith, and much much more.You can sprint through in 2 hours and see not much, it would be better to think of this as a several-hour destination. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
gr8t place
Good place to fly into,very friendly people thay make you feel very welcome, And the saturday BBQ is tops.nice long grass strips keeped in very good shape..
Fabulous Museum - Best in South America
Better known as Campo dos Afonsas home to Brazilian AF Museum (long white building bottom left) plus some active military - if you like old aircraft look a couple of miles to north for C-47 and C-119 (seperate sites) both in very good condition outside military buildings.....
re: CHC
Reply to @Ozguy: Thanx very much, Ozguy!
First time I flew there.
The first time I flew here was at night, and my first cross country with my wife. I came in off the lake shore and the controller said that he saw me on a right base. I said I couldn't see the airport (this was before the days of GPS). So the controller flashed the runway lights and I could see it. My wife was incredibly impressed that they flashed the whole airport at me.
Vintage Flying Home
Guelph is lovely, quiet and nostalgic. If you walk around the hangars, there will be Tiger Moths and Cornells, Finches and first-generation Cubs. This place is like a museum, with a difference that all those rare and vintage aeroplanes actually fly like they were doing 70 years ago... Say hi to the Tigerboys (http://www.tigerboys.com/), they restore those machines and make the magic happen! Stay for some time and learn to fly a J-3 Cub with Glen (http://www.3pointaviator.com/)! I never notice the time passing while at Guelph, this place is immune to it...
Good alternative to Brampton
Burlington is a bit tough to find - especially at night, but they have a large, well maintained runway and decent on-site services. FBO looks bigger inside than it is outside. For the renters and students, practice area is 0.5 from the place - add that to the budget for training and checkrides. Airport is fairly busy, and rental prices are ok. I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of Burlington, but choosing between it and Brampton, I'll go Burlington anytime.
re: re: Cameroon Pet Scam
hello and good day again, no you will not have to pay anymore money
for any vet, because we will register Max for home delivery and he
will be brought to you right to your home that is to say the vet
health certification from the airport after the veterinarians from the
airport have checked the health statues of Max will hold and help to
the delivery of Max to your home with no other checks.
we are sorry we did not mail you on time, we had to find out from
the airport if you will have to pay any charges for that, so we got
information that yo will not have to pay any other money for that, so
you do not have to worry anymore.
attached to this mail are some pictures of Max and we all attached
a few of his mother too , due to some advice from the veterinarian, we
decided to keep them apart, since we will be giving some of the
puppies away we will love their mother to get use to the fact that
some of her corps will not be around her, so i have attached some
pictures to this mail but their are separate an hope you will like
them.

Closure why?

— Anonymous Flyer at Atlantic City Municipal Bader Field, United States
It doesn't make any sense that the FAA closed Bader Field. It was a great little airport servicing AC and was easy to get in an out of; no red tape, no long lines, just fun. The excuse of the tall buildings being too close was a load. We used to fly over the President Hotel all the time and no one ever got hurt. I don't think until the Citation incident that there was ever a situation. It was good enough for Lindbergh and the host of presidents and officials. So convenient, a real shame politics had to prevail......There will always be a place in my heart for Bader Field. Check out my latest book "Bader Field" by Carl David.......
