Hello Porepunkah
Hilly and tight. Very scenic. Airfield is fairly well maintained, had toilets. Grass strip was bumpy. Once I got there I found little there to do. Could not find Avgas there.
Ararat visit
Very good airstrip but has very little there. The grass strip looked like it was in need of attention. Had very long grass. Town is a long walk and did not seem worth it at the time. Good airstrip for a rest stop and easy to find, has nice tall mountain just to the west which can be seen for miles.
Javika Airport
No longer a usable facility; overgrown, not recognizable.
re: Likasi airfield
The position indicated by the marker is incorrect. The airfield is closer to town. Every year it deteriorates further and until recently there were abandoned aeroplanes in the hangars. The hangars now have no roofs. Some four aircraft were at Likasi - all are now derelict as the old flying club returns to mother nature.
Likasi airfield
Airfield is overgrown and disused for many years.
re: A visit to Maryborough
There is also Summerfield winery nearby that has a private airport, they have bed and breakfast there too - it's a real gem in that area. Do a web search for Summerfield Airstrip for more info.
A visit to Maryborough
Worth the visit to Marybrough. They have a clubhouse that is always available to the visitor. Has toilets, tea and coffee and creature comforts. The main town is like a time-warp. Very old and scenic. Can easily spend a day there just loitering about. Highly recommend getting a taxi back to the aerodrome as it is mostly up hill. Walking to the main street from the aerodrome took about an hour. No apparent landing charges either. Quite a friendly town.
About Fiskville
Runway 09/27 is a gravel one about 800m and the aerodrome is used by the emergency services but I think they will let you land with prior permission without problem. Try (03)53667200. I think it is correct. I would definitely call first before going there. I hear there are toilets there but that’s about it. Bacchus Marsh aerodrome is a short fly to the east and may be more suitable for avgas and ease of landing if you are just passing and need a rest stop.
Bacchus Marsh Aerodrome
Very nice wide, long and smooth runways (very nice strip indeed), no night lighting. Confirmed 520ft, aerodrome is just to the east of the dividing range, gets hilly very quickly to the west and controlled airspace is not too far to the south and east of the airfield. Avgas is available from the flying school, bowser is owned by them and cost is about average, for Avgas try this phone number - (03)53695162. Not very close to township, best get a ride to get to Bacchus Marsh township. Kind of sort of worth the taxi ride to town, not too touristy and a bit small, just a main street but big enough to entertain for an hour or two. Aerodrome charges to land but if you fuel up landing fee is free (or something like that). Lots of gliders on the weekends so expect a go-around or two.

Did mine here yesterday as well it was fun. And plan on doing my training here as well. :)
re: Port Fairy VIC AU
Strip is about 900m Operator is Moyne Shire Council (03) 55681472
Port Fairy VIC AU
Thick soft grass can be very hard to taxi and take off from (may want to add some strip length in your take off distance) and may be very boggy after rain. Lots of birds and sea wind can cause strong crosswind landings. Can be difficult to find as surrounding areas are grasslands. Free to land, no phone-in required. Pretty township but a solid walk up to 1hr. CTAF 126.0 Runway 24/06, ELEV 10ft. Warrnambool aerodrome is only 10ml to west for AVGAS. Visit: moyne vic gov au, there may be something of value before flying there.
Cobden Aerodrome VIC AU
Gravel/crush-rock runway. Fairly narrow runway and muddy on sides after rain. Has toilet and clubhouse. Walk to town in less than half hour. Has quite high ground/hill at north of runway. Runway 18-36 about 900m elevation 460ft. Avgas may be available. Phone before use. (03)55952027 or (03)5595 1429 or (03)5595 1089. Claims to have PAL on 122.2 and CTAF 126.7

Very nice runway. 18/36 150' wide in excellent condition. Nice FBO and fuel is reasonable but can be found cheaper at 4M1 at any time. Fuel is 24hr self serve at both places. Crew cars available as well as hotels and decent places to eat. For short stays, the FBO offers hangared storage for a reasonable fee ($25/night I think is what I paid). FBO has nice pilot lounge with recliners and internet access. Newly remodeled and includes a single pilot sleep area!
runway
"Subject to cross winds." ? Runway is 07/25...25 is aligned with the prevailing winds of the area, namely from the west.
Great little airport
This is a great little airport along side a practice area which makes it great for students to practice diversions, soft and short field techniques even during winter as this strip is well maintained year round.
Bilaspur Airport
The tourism authority in India need to get their act together if they want India to be a player in the tourism industry, this airport is a disgrace
Bilaspur Airport
This airport is a Shit hole
Our bokaro hawaii adda
Last month a team of two officials of Air Deccan met with BSL management and we are already aware of the fast pace development in and around the city. Moreover, there are unconfirmed news that Dundi bag traders, who are doing daily business since many years, are opposing this expansion. However, even after this I am very optimistic on the modernization of Bokaro airport. We need to take fight to our nearest commercial airport Kolkata for flying elsewhere. Hope soon we will boast of our own airport. Other than this if any one have any concrete news on further development of Bokaro Airport then please share it or let us know any common forum for such discussion?

re: re: SCAMMED BY STARPET MOVERS - Douala, Cameroon
Thank you for posting this! We where just making a deal for an English bulldog when we read this! The owner promised us a safe arrival of our puppy and said it would be delivered by starpetmovers! After reading this we put an immediate stop to the deal and looked the email address up on facebook leading us to his page which indicated he is not a dog owner will never be a dog owner and a broke liar! We will not be doing any dealings with Lonko bull!
re: Scammed, by Starpet,& Mr. IYAM VELERY
This guy has been emailing me trying to give me a mini pig. The shipping is $75 and the pig is free.. too good to be true?? i think so!!! I googled his address, and it showed a parking lot. I kept asking a lot of questions and he kept skipping around them. Also, when I asked for a picture of the pig, I got a picture which was obviously from the internet.. DO NOT BUY FROM IYAM VALERY!! if it feels too good to be true, it is! I'm so glad I googled his name and read this before I paid the shipping. as soon as I typed in Iyam, his full name popped up. Definitely not a good sign. Thank you so much!

Excellent Airport
Great runway options, excellent approach/departure and tower personnel, smooth ground operation, plenty of nearby hotels (great Marriott but many other options too). Fuel prices tend to run high on 100LL. Ramp personnel are friendly, skilled, and helpful. I currently hanger there. Have also done training there, MSN, and PDK; EVV is a great beginner and low stress class C refresher location but a little sleepy for advance traffic work. Also doesn't have anything in the way of higher performance or multi-engine training aircraft available. Community is worth the stop too; don't think Indiana corn fields but rather more Ohio River Valley hardwood forest area (big high-end furniture area).
Runways
Question: Did Cancun have two runways or did they build a new one?

Original User comment...early 1970's
This strip was a mess the last time I saw it...early breakup that year. Came out in a ski mod twin otter, with the mud flying all over the sides of the plane...
Back earlier, in that winter, it was fine...we used an Electra and had Herc's in all the time...we drilled a single hole and left. (dry)...
Enjoyed an afternoon tea with Dr. Kent from BP London one day while there...he was fog'ed out of his strip and stopped by to wait it out. This was the "Head Knocker" of BP Oil's Geology Dept, found oil all over the world...very interesting guy to pass some time with...
re: MDU
Understand that one John Rutter is still in the land of the living. Haven'y heard of him since C185 days in 1966. Any way that I can contact him?
Spent a lot of time flying in and out of Mendi. 1966-1995. Many scares, lots of memories (some sad - as Jim Millar).

— Anonymous Flyer at Mount Beauty Airport, Australia
Sealed strip. Very scenic flight through the valley to get there. The town is real close nested at the foothills of the mountains. It is also a dead end so a plane that has good turning and climbing capability is a bonus to have in case of a go-around. Worth a daytrip or a overnight stay if you are into the tranquillity thing. I get the feeling that it is best to go there during summer though. I could not find any Avgas there.
