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 However, this info is many years out-of-date and the current condition is unknown.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.

PET SCAMMERS
Dixsonbella hotmail.com Is A Pet scam. I was suppose to get a tea cup chihuahua off her and i had paid all my money plus insurance for the dog to come home with me. also the web page
petsflight .com is a scam. Dixsonbella is a sociated with them. they have a believable method they send you all the paper work and it all looks legal but in the end u are being scammed.
I tried everything to get information out hoping it wasnt and that i would be able to bring my puppy home soon. but i didnt. and im crushed. i went and spend 700 dollars to have the puppy of my dreams and now im just left with the loss of my money and no puppy. Dixson Bella had said she was from ontario. they will also tell u after that ur puppy is on its way. than next they will want u to spend another 100 plus to get the puppy a proper crate to have him travel safely in cause they are only class1 crate. i have names of people who i had sent money too! Bill Richardson and Henry moore! so if u see any of these names dont do it!!!!!!

Near this place is my small village..and is one the places with prime educational institute for engineering, the famous B.I.T.S. i remember when i used to go to this airport/gliding club to watch the glider fly and i think it was this which sowed the seed for flying in me at that age only..

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?
Low tide only
Comment from @Capitano.Nico - "Usable around low tide. Check tide tables."
Dod Creek Airport
I was always fascinated by this forgotten piece of Caribou history. It would be cool if a group of people could be granted permission to restore the runways and use it as a recreational fly-in site for light aircraft and ultra-lites etc. Someone with good writing talents and enough info could print a small booklet on it's history and maybe use the sales to help fund restoration. Just a thought.Safe flying.

Thanks -- I've marked the airport as closed.

I would like this airport included in Maracsko's airport-collection (like Kiskunlacháza for example).
Twin Oaks is Great
If you haven't been to Stark's Twin Oaks Airpark, well get in your plane (or car) and head over to this little airport. It's a great place to train.
One of my favourites
A well-laid out airport, acceptable length of security lines, and the prices at the restaurants are basically the same as off-airport. Parking is free for the first 30 minutes - a wonderful bonus when just dropping by to pick up a passenger.
Avoid avoid avoid.....
I do everything in my power to avoid flying through Toronto International (which is yet another airport named after a dead politician, a dismal trend). The security line-ups are long, the prices are high, the taxes are high, and the layout of the terminal (it takes 20 minutes to walk from the gate at international arrivals to customs - and then you have to exit into the unscreened area and go through security again. Just a really really bad layout.
Fortunately, being in Ottawa, I can get almost anywhere in North America in one connection or less - while avoiding YYZ.
Fly-in Breakfast - July 18 2010
Flew here for the breakfast 2010-07-18. PPR, Narrow runway (75' total, but only the centre portion is paved). Very friendly people, great breakfast - they had a separate lineup for pilots/passengers vs. the local residents and campers. Be sure to sign the guestbook.
Jeypore, a commercial town and a tribal center of Orissa (I
This is located amidst hills and valleys in a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. No aircraft comes or goes now a days on regular basis. Some years back it was connected to Bhubaneswar and Visakhapatnam by tri-weekly commercial service of the now defunct Vayudoot.They were small Dornier aircrafts.Hopefully someday this airport will again see commercial flights .Jeypore town , which is serviced by this airport, is as beautiful as any of the best hill stations.

Birdsville Races
Birdsville races rained out September 2010, the town became a quagmire, mud, propstrikes and the digging out of planes. A nightmare.

Former military airfield
This was formerly Faizabad Air Force Station, but is now being redeveloped as a civilian airport.
Still in use by EAA?
According to this source, two of the airport's runways are still in use by EAA members, so I've reflagged this as an active (though not registered) airport:

Can any Maritimes pilots confirm that the field is still active?

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.
