Friendly folks at the FBO, but small airport with barely adequate space for visiting aircraft.
re: No good!
Reply to @viennatech: According to this article, it's still operational, and has an informal fly-in every weekend, as well as occasional air-ambulance traffic:

The paved runway is closed, but there's a grass strip operating (I think it may be just to the right in the satellite photo).
re: Pagerungan Island Airfield -
I'm pretty confident that Torohhiga is a duplicate -- I've merged it in.
The runway data appears under the "Pilot Info" tab.
Pagerungan Island Airfield -
Am told by credible source that the field length/width is 915m x 30m. Not sure what this "Torohhiga" airport is though !
re: Will Borongan Fly Again?
i hope God willing, borongan airport will be operational again. and this will be for a long haul. for all ESTEHANONS, let's hope and pray and do what we can to make this possible. maybe we have to put politics aside first and be united to make borongan airport operational. as one airline company said in their ads," bakit sasakay ka pa sa bus, mag airbus ka na"

South Tikrit Camp
I left my footprints in the sands around the DFAC, whilst looking after the American troops, I also built the buildings around the DFAC. These buildings were the accommodation for my Indian workers, innocent young lads who had never venture out of India, but return as fine hard working men.

re: Hello!
They look like center pivot irrigation to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_pivot_irrigation
Hello!
Thought I'd say hello from Vancouver Canada...what are the big round circle things all around your airport?
Summer 2010 visit
Bergerac was 'fogged in', this was our alternate. Big field but very quite. Twr spoke English and was very helpful. Landing fee less than 4 Euros. Friendly aero club made a coffee for us!
Summer 2010 visit
Rented acft from Sue Virr from the Aero club de Limoges. http://www.nearlyheaven.com/.
Friendly field, very helpful tower, only the odd delay to account for inbound IFR traffic (Ryanair etc) otherwise a great base for touring.
Summer 2010 visit
Small field on UNICOM 123.50 so French calls here the norm (although we made ours in English). Landing fees are a 'donation' into the piggy bank in the flying club reception. Great little restaurant round the corner (20m) L'Escale Guillaumet.
Summer 2010 visit
Great location, easy nav and comms, arrived from the North (Limoges) and bought in via the published VRPs.
Landing fees less than 4 Euros!! I'm moving to France. Easy access to the apron via the Aeroclub de Bergerac so no faffing with security etc. Good cafe/restaurant, coffee good.
re: Rwy 16/34 is now closed
Since the mainstream newspapers are prone to removing links to articles, here's a similar article on aviation.ca -- http://www.aviation.ca/content/view/9011/117/
re: Rwy 16/34 is now closed
Reply to @douglasr: I've updated the pilot info - thanks. Very sad news for the city of Edmonton.
Rwy 16/34 is now closed
On August 3, 2010 the city barricaded the runway and had a NOTAM issued. More details in this article from the Edmonton Journal: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/Edmonton+City+Centre+Airport+closes+runway/3354012/story.html
Good place to visit
I flew in to PEI for four nights. As advertised, parking was free, with cables to tie down. The school is open 8-8, but they can provide a code to give you after-hours airside access. Fuel was not self-serve, and the instructors are often up flying with students, so fill up when you land if there's someone there -- it's not really an FBO (though the staff are friendly), but just a flying school that sells gas and gives away free parking. There was no multiweight oil available (just mineral oil -- apparently, that's all the school uses in its planes).
For Americans, note that this is a Mandatory Frequency (MF) airport, something that doesn't exist in the US. There's an FSS rather than a tower on the field, but you're still required to talk to it (though it doesn't issue clearances like a tower would).
re: Airlines
The Wikipedia article and FlightAware both say that Houlton currently has no scheduled airline service. I passed directly over Houlton on my flight from Ottawa to Charlottetown on Tuesday, and back again this morning, and didn't hear any airline flights inbound or outbound on Boston Centre's frequency.
It's a beautiful part of the US, by the way, especially with Mt. Katahdin a bit to the west.
re: restaurnts
There's a Druxy's Deli in the old (white, wooden) airport terminal.

re: Oh finally i received my chihuahua puppy transported by
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SCAM -- THERE IS NO PUPPY! DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PET SCAM OUT OF CAMEROON AFRICA. ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS. Google "CAMEROON AFRICA PET SCAM'' and do your research on this PET SCAM before you send your money to Africa for a puppy that doesn't exist!
re: Oh finally i received my chihuahua puppy transported by
be very careful, someone might take your money and you will see no dog, i am very fortunate i found this lady (sister Vanessa) she has lived in Belgium for 3 months, and she is now in cameroon at the Child Care Center Of Mary of victoria cameroon, her email is rev_sister_vanesa@hotmail.com, you can contact her and she might help you
about the airport, you must not send money to any of the fake airports, ask for the number of the pet delivery link, the number must be 00237-968-69-902, if they don't call you on this number, then know that it is a fake airport because that is their main number .
how more can i help you, i think i have tried

restaurnts
I'm told there's no place to eat at the airport? Do you have to take the ferry to get a bite to eat.
Is the airport open?
I'm booking the flight to Boracay, but heard the airport is closed for renovation, just wondering when will it be reopen again

The phone number listed for this in many places is out-of-date.
re: Airlines
yup
Seaplane base and airport
Good seaplane base and adjacent gravel airport, wide and smooth and well maintained. Dash-8s land here to transport hunters. Avgas and Jet-A pumps available at the dock and at the strip. Fuel price is reasonable since it can be delivered by road (this is about as far as the road goes!). The dock has room for five or six seaplanes. Buzz the adjacent outfitter buildings so that they know you're arriving (the buildings are about a mile away).
Refueling stop 1957
I seem to remember a beached or sunken Japanese ship partially sticking out of the water just off runway 10 when I landed there. It seems like we just stayed long enough to get fuel and then fly on to Japan. I was young lad then so it is hard to remember. Has anyone else seen it?
GREAT
I hope the airport opens soon and hopefully we cab fly from Maastricht Holland to Castellón. REALLY HOPE SO!
RAF Laarbruch
I learned to fly sailplanes here while it was still RAF Laarbruch in 1987.
New Miami International Airport (MIA)
I use MIA weekly and I can only say the airport seems to be changing by the day!!! New beautiful architecture, great shopping stores and restaurants, the futuristic SkyTrain and MIA Mover connector to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) on Le Jeune, the spectacular new Rental Car Center, improved service and lots of smiles (I read that all 35,000 MIA employees are being trained in customer service), construction being completed on time - and very close to budget... if you don't use MIA often, take a look at the changes in its website - what a refreshing change! When it comes to MIA - for once - I'm proud to be a Miamian!

re: opening of Beja Airport
I think brining it forward from 2910 to 2010 is a marvellous achievement. :)
re: An employee named Lugga
Thank you very much, you're very kind. I just wanted to say hi to him & ask about Cody & Josephine. Thanks again, Billy B in Texas.
Hospitality
Fields at Galoshkosh 2010 were pretty wet last Sat Jul 24 so forced to stay at Stevens Point. Airport staff and management were wonderful. Fuel was reasonably priced and every effort was made to accomodate the numerous semi-stranded EAA 2010 visitors. Great place to stop!
re: Powerscourt Airfield
Thank you very much - I've updated the position.
My time at Spangdahlem Air Base
I was stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base from February,1971 thru November,1973 and I would appreciate having a history of the base from that time frame . If anyone can help me with my request I certainly would appreciate your help . In addition to bringing back memories of my time spent at Spangdahlem Air Base I hope to be able to get in touch with the other Airmen that I was stationed with for a reunion . Thank You kpshedd@comcast.net

idk is dis a scammm
hanks Lol for contacting me on our babies.we have two puppies which
we are given away for FREE adoption.they are call Dolly(The female)
and Nelly(The male).The male is currently weighing 3.5lbs and the
female is weighing 2.75lbs but both are expected to weigh 4-4.5 lbs

and birth certificates. You shall have them with all these including

Malaria parasite especially with cases of Pregnant women that need
serious Medical attention.I know you most also be wondering why we are
also given them away.The reason we need a new and lovely home for them
is because our duty here is so time consuming,demanding and tight up
and we both work for several hours and hardly spend time loving and
caring for them as we used to before ok.So we really do need an
immediate family that will shower them with lots of Love,Care and
Attention ok I will like to know if you will be getting one or both of
them??

or her or both home in a maximum of 8 hours from the time of departure
ok..the flight fee for both puppies will cost you $180 and for one
will cost you $100.

interested in having my puppies as part of your family,I want you to
get back to me with the below following.......

— Anonymous Flyer at Radium Hot Springs Airport, Canada
Jepp data reports airport is public while signage and local manager report private. Might as well stay at Invermere as the Radium manager wants big city tie down prices. Very rough on North end.
