Scammers trying to sell puppies to Canadians
Anything from a SHELLY JEREMY or shellyjeremy52@yahoo.com is trying to sell English Bulldogs Tina and Tiny for 160.00 a piece. She even sent me pictures. I even got her to send me phone numbers cause i didn't beleive her and I reached someone at +23796646716 and he said that his name was Mr. Tom Smith and he was the General Manager in the Pet Department at Douala Airport. He told me that the flight time for these puppies was 3 hours and 27 minutes from Africa to Alberta Canada. That is funny considering they are half way around the world. BEWARE if it doesn't sound right it isn't!
construction/renovation
has the airport in Vinnitsa been renovated or upgraded from the time I visited the city 3 years ago?
Bystrzyca Klodzka Airfield & Junkers Ju-390 in 1945
This airfield interestingly appears to be the airfield from which the almost mythical Nazi Bell was flown by Junkers Ju-390 to Bodo, Norway about 17/18 April 1945. SS Lt Gen Sporrenberg and SS Hauptsturm Rudolf Schuster both gave depositions after WW2 saying the aircraft departed from an airfield at Klodzko, or west of Opole.
re: re: project not approved
Now, I am a member of 'Our airports' and now I know who is ''the anonymous flyer''. David Megginson, the brave, who started this very interesting website explained me that anybody who writes a comment will be call '' anonymous fyer'' if he/she is not a member of this site!
I thought this could help others to understand the comments.

re: project not approved
Reply to @david: Welcome! I will keep you posted.
The seaplane base is in the WAS (Water Aerodrome Supplement). The 2 runways will be finish, on 0-3/8 compacted stone dust, in 2 weeks. TC came a month ago for inspection and as soon as I put the windsock and markers they will put Pontiac Airpark in the CFS.
I sold 3 lots. A 4th one is coming soon. His architect plan is done!
I was supposed to built the clubhouse this year but I was too late. I did not want to built during the winter months. Next year!
I should check the web more often about the Pontiac Airpark. I will now!
Fly high!
Andre.
P.S. Note that there is a NOTAM in effect: No touch and go at the seaplane base.
re: project not approved
Thanks for clearing that up, André. Let us know when your runway is operational.
re: project not approved
To the anonymous flyer,
I am very VERY shocked about this VERY WRONG affirmation!!!
I am the developper of this project and I NEVER DID a CLEAR CUT ON MY LAND! I cut the minimum trees for the runways and the taxiways. I love the bush, I was raise in the bush and I want to live in the bush.
In 2005, my neighbour cut a lot of trees on his land and an environmentalist came in my office to tell me, and the medias, that I did a clear cut! Of course, this was wrong.
This project DOES NOT NEED APPROVAL from the provincial government.
Aviation (runways, taxiways and seaplane base) is of Federal juridiction. The seaplane base is approved (check the WAS) and the runways will be approved shortly.
The provincial rules states that you can not built at less then 10 (or 15 depending) meters from the water and that you cannot disturb a wet land. Each residential lot has to follow the municipal, provincial and federal rules. As long as you follow the rules nobody will disturb your peace. The municipality will approve your implantation plan for your building permit. The project, and each lot, DOES NOT NEED the provincial approval.
The municipality is pushing me to do this project. This will be great for the Pontiac.
André Durocher.
Owner, developper.
New
I was travelling via Moscow to Gelendhzik and discover a very brand new, but also very small airport - somehow funny - with no luggage belt. When I left, one aircraft to St. Petersburg was delayed and due to this, the "terminal" completely overcrowded...I liked it. reisen.cc
Airport location
This is a very nice vew of Cookhouse village... but is there actually an airstrip?
Airport Closed!
This was the site of the old Barberton Airport and has been closed for 9 years. A township is now established on the old site.
The new Barberton Airport is located at the following google coordinates: -25.713466 30.974751 / Gps coordinates: S25'43'051 E030'58'515
Closing soon
This airport is closing soon, to be replaced by KECP. The scheduled airline service has already moved.
Replacing KPFN
This new airport has already replaced KPFN (Panama City-Bay County International Airport) for scheduled airline service, and will take over general aviation as well when KPFN closes.
re: smoking
I'm not a Yank, but I think smoking around someone is about as polite as urinating on his feet.
smoking
Oh NO someone is SMOKING. FFS mate get off your high horse. If you don't like it bugger off and get a bloody sandwich instead and eat it somewhere else in the airport. Gotta be a yank; after all they are always right. Small minded idiots.
Mig 21.
To whoever I'm trying to locate the owner, club for the Mig 21 that is preserved in an old military shelter at Wezlow. Any help greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at timjones007@hotmail.com
A Brief History
Have you ever eaten a bag of Cheezies? If yes, you have a connection to this airport as it is owned by Jim Marker, the inventor of Cheezies.
A Brief History
Long abandoned and with no sign of a runway to be found, the only clues that this location was ever an aerodrome was the remnants of an old windsock on the shed that might have been a hangar at one time. After spotting the old windsock, a bit of research found the airstrip marked on a topographic map from the 1960's. Today, the location can be found by driving along Highway 33 between Wellington and Bloomfield and looking for the 1/2(?)-scale Vought F4U Corsair replica perched on top of an old garage. The old airstrip is across the highway on the north side of the abandoned railroad tracks.
Fly-in B&B
A fly-in bed and breakfast owned by Mr. Scott. However, this info is many years out-of-date and the current condition is unknown.
re: A Brief History
Reply to @david: Those who grew up in the "County" call it Point Peter or simply the Point.
Cafeteria
There is a small cafeteria in the terminal building, with pre-made sandwiches, etc.
Pumps
The Petro-T (PropAir) office is on the other side of the terminal, but the fuel pumps are here (there is a truck for Jet-A, but not for 100LL). The FSS can tell you where to park.
Price for 100LL (2010-09-22): $1.64/litre including tax
re: Batavia
OurAirports gets its arrivals and departures data feed from FlightStats. Unfortunately, outside of North America, sometimes flights are missing from the feed.
re: A Brief History
Reply to @prattsoplenty: I grew up in Kingston, which isn't quite local, but I've always pronounced this as "point PEA-tree".
A Brief History
Also known as Point Peter to the locals, this location is the MACS (Military Aeronautical Communications System) Trenton HF radio transmitter site. Originally a range for the Bombing and Gunnery school at Picton, the site was also the launch pad for the Avro Arrow test models.
Batavia
Dear officer,
I checked my parents flight to Surabaya by Batavia air (Y6-535 depart 4PM)
yet the schedule is not there.
What has happened?

Runway upgrade
Will there be nil flights to Leinster from the 28Sep due to runway upgrades???
Relocation
According to the Wikipedia article, the airport may be relocated soon to allow the nearby mine to be expanded.
Nice place to visit
The airport itself is quite nice. When we arrived, they were out with a tractor mowing one of the strips. The airport is a bit of a hike from town which is probably the only down side. A quick coastal flight on arrival is always a good idea!

Ganze Ranch Airstrip is now a par 5!!
The ranch is now part of the Firewheel Golf course. The "airstrip" might be a bit rough to land on these days....watch out for the bunkers!!
re: re: PET SCAMMERS
Reply to @david: The more I think about it the more I really kick myself. The car was supposed to ship from the US to me in Germany, and they are using an "insurance company" in Cameroon? That doesn't make sense. I sent the guy an email and told him i knew it was a scam and he tried to tell me that they have sent me money and will call the FBI if I don't send it in. I don't believe him at all. Let him call the FBI, I did nothing wrong except trust the wrong person! Again I'll say, you live and you learn!
re: re: PET SCAMMERS
Unfortunately, yes, you've been scammed, and there's close to 0% chance of ever catching the people. They'll use different fake names, email addresses, etc. for their next victim.
re: re: PET SCAMMERS
Reply to @ptomblin: They say they want to deposit it into my account, but I did not want to give out that information. I actually told them to set up a Paypal account but they said Western Union was easier....Well, darn it. Oh well, you live and you learn.
re: re: PET SCAMMERS
Yes, you got screwed, and if you keep dealing with them you're going to get even more screwed. They'll send you a cashiers check and have you send the money via Western Union to an accomplice. Then you will discover the cashiers check is forged and the money you send it gone forever. They use Western Union because it's untracable.
re: PET SCAMMERS
Does anyone know if there is also a scam out of Cameroon about cars? This seems to be the same situation. The guy who is emailing me and talking to me is named Crose Kolly and told me I had to send money Western Union to an insurance company in Cameroon to a guy named Bonfilse Mendze. They wanted 40% down and will send the car to me and I am supposed to send the rest of the money after I get the car. This has been going on for a year and a half! I seriously thought that if someone was talking to me for THAT long that it could not be a scam, but after reading these I think I got scammed. Now they are wanting to deposit money into my account so I can send it Western Union for the insurance. Did I get screwed??
Information
Good evening,
could I know when the airport opens and closes?
Thank you.
Best regards.

re: Does this airport really exist?
Reply to @wyssp: I eliminated the identifier, and am waiting to see if I can find any confirmation of this airport.
Artificial water runway?
When you zoom in, you can see that what looks like a runway is actually a small, artificial waterway. Very interesting.
Airport
When will it be opened?

Do you have the latitude and longitude for the old RAF base?
