re: Sparwood NDB
I confirmed this also via the latest CFS and updated the entry.
Sparwood NDB
Sparwood NDB is on 200 kHz, not 400 kHz.
Air France 8969
Marseille is the airport where Air France 8969 hijacking ended....
noise levels in departures
Your staff - from the check in staff right through to cleaning and those manning the coffee shops feel quite compelled to shout to one another as loudly as possible with total disregard for the image of the company, the deafening noise levels that they create and the discomfort of the passengers. Unfortunately, as beautiful as the airport design is, the halls are 'hollow' and the noise created by your staff travels. Maybe if you educate them to speak in normal tones that would help.
re: Spelling
Actually, the data dump I bought from Eurocontrol calls it "SHARANA (SHARONA)", so I assume that means it has or had both names.

Actually spelled "Sharana"

re: I have fear of sending money
Yes, it's a scam. Do not send money.
I have fear of sending money
hello my name is Betty and I am from Nicaragua would you please help me, I want to adopt two young English bulldogs, But the owner wants me to pay half the shipping charges. I agree, she says she is paid directly to the travel agency, but I have fear that it is a scam, she said that is north of the bay from Cameroon, my question is: I can trust this agency to send my money? she can claim and ordered the money sent? says it expands two hours to get the puppies at my house. I live very long in africa, so I do not arrive in two hours .... I have fear that it is a scam! please help advise me, What Can I Do?
Potchefstroom airport
University, colleges, Government Departments, people from Potch + neighbour towns and mines can use this airport effectively. You wasted the tax payers money on the Spaniards and don’t use this airport to it’s full potential. Why don’t you develop a kind of a “Lanseria” airport?
Runway info
Recently updated the runway info for Watts bridge as it was way off ( something like 3000m & 2000m ) My figures are estimates but close to the mark.
Be aware there is a road and a fence across the NW end of 12-30 and the last few hundred meters is not in use.
Quiet and friendly to ultralights
The field is nicely maintained by EAA chapter 65. If you fly there regularly, they ask you join them ($50/year or so).
Friendly owner
The field's owner, Newton Little, is an aviation enthusiast that is too old to fly but maintains the strip and welcomes guest pilots. He lives in the house next to the field - please ask him for permission or inquire about hangaring your plane there. There is also an RC field on the premises. Great scenery to the NW.
Looks like the airport is closing
Cadillac Fairview will be developing the airport lands.

airport upgrades
The airport is currently closed getting new lights a new beacon and a new awos system. The airport also received a new piece of snow removal equipment last year . Keep up the good work Mr. Roman!!!!
Gliding Site of the Real Aeroclub de Toledo
the airport hosts skydiving, gliding, or similar activities
Air Canada 767's
some of Air Canada Boeing 767-200/ER are stored here waiting for scrap.
Hotel Rooms
There is no accomodation available in Williston, all occupied by oil people. The FBO is wonderfull, offered coach and Crew Van, saved the day.
don't do it
Gail died and the field has a pivot across it as well as overhead power.

LIMZ - Cuneo Levaldigi
Ideal airport for light aircraft training. Long runway little traffic.

12R/30L
Runway 12R-30L is closed for construction so my flight MH 156 arrivong from Kuala Lumpur lands at 12L...we taxi for over 10 mins.
Whitehorse Ranch Airport
Great landmark when flying the Black Rock / Owyhee area. Good emergency field, the associated ranch is about 3/4 mile East of the strip. Probably not a good idea to drop in uninvited without a really good reason.
Scammer
Beware of amanda123kelley@yahoo.com. She will take you for everything. I should know I just got scammed. Does anyone know how to get my money back or is it a lost cause?
Jubail Airport information
ICAO identifier - OEJL
Runway direction - 15-33
Runway length - 2745 meters, 9000 feet
Elevation 70 feet
Sea plane base is closed
Lake is drying fast , and not really enough depth to land on water here ( water is a loose term, for mud and sludge )
Vending machines
The flying school is the only (sort-of) public building at the airport. It has washrooms, a restaurant that operates only on weekends, and vending machines available the rest of the week.
Fuel
Burlington has both 100LL and Jet-A. The fuel pumps are operated by the airport, not the Spectrum Airways flight school.
re: pet scammer
All offers of pets from Cameroon Africa are scams, without exceptions!
Expensive airport
I just called Glanford Aviation (Shell), the only FBO that appears to offer 100LL, and they charge a $25 facility fee for a single-engine piston plane (not waived with a fill-up) on top of the airport's $18.50 minimum landing fee. That means that you're out $43.50 + HST = $48.72 the second your wheels hit the Shell apron, before you even start to put fuel in your tank. Would you fill up your car at a gas station that charged almost $50 to just to enter their lot and park in front of the pump?
Even big-city airports are usually much cheaper than this (Pearson is, of course, an exception). I don't know what the city of Hamilton (and Shell) are thinking, except that they want to scare as many visitors as possible away from Hamilton, and make sure no one spends any money in the local economy.
noise at Baxter
nothing to do with Tyabb it was hellicopter traffic going to bike races at Phillip Island
re: Restaurant?
Reply to @bcrosby:
As of a year ago ,No, but the people at the airport are more than happy to accomodate you if you want to go to town for lunch or ?(we ate at the Beanery GREAT place)

re: re: project not approved
Reply to @AndreVenture:
Yesterday, at 9h45 the Supreme Court of Canada said that Aviation is under Federal juridiction ONLY!!!! The provincial and municipal governments have nothing to say about where and how to built an airport!!!
Wittman
Winnebago County could care less about this airport, there is no promotion what so ever, meanwhile Outagamie and Austin Straubel have first class facilities...What a waste of taxpayers money..
Berz Airport
Well someone has there facts wrong, I was a regular at Berz from 1961 to 1970, I was employed there from 1966-1970. No Learjet came in 1967 that's for sure. October 1966 American Jet Leasing was the first Lear to arrive and depart at this airport, the next time a Lear came in was 1968 when Bill Freehan and Denny McClain chartered one from Pepsi-Cola to fly to Denver after winning the World Series. Berz was sold to Rockwell and it became Grand Prix Airport in 1971 that remained until the county bought it where it is now Oakland Troy Executive..
