Modernization of Bokaro steel city Airport
Bokaro is now growing into one of the fast developing city in India,where people want to have more luxuroius and comfortable jurney,But govt. is not looking at this matter and the airport is same as it was 20 years back.Govt . should provide atleast all the domestic level facilities if can not provide world class.
This is what we are hoping in future.it would be really boon for the people of this city if bokaro airport will get networked with all the major cities in India.
looking for John Howroyd
Hi John,
I have a photo of you and my dad (Hugh Thomas) with the Staggerwing. I would like to send it to you via email. Please contact me at jlicsko@wildblue.net.
Warm regards,
Joanne
Lights!
Wow! They have lighted taxiway signs!
GUCY
Roberts Control will handle you inbound (and outbound) and I believe that frequency was 128.1 Roberts Control was efficient and, therefore, our descent planning was without delay. Handed-off to Conakry Approach 119.7 if memory serves otherwise published on Jepps for our clearance to fly the 10 DME ARC to the VOR DME to RW 06. Approaches are as follows: ILS 06, VOR DME 06, VOR 06 and a published visual approach to RW 24 taking you on a right-traffic course to RW 24. The ILS 06 was as per notams, out of service. As you will see from the airport diagram, expect to back-taxi on the runway for lack of taxiways. Fuel was available without delay.
re: One runway only
If you click "Show Points of Interest", is that marker on what you mean?
Noise Abatement Procedure
The Airport is located in a very noise sensitive area and a noise and track monitoring system is in use. Pilots are advised to strictly
follow the published Noise Abatement Procedures, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
Unfortunately there are a lot of violation reports.
Mandatory Training
A mandatory training procedure was put in place at Cannes ( LFMD). Feb_2010
Please visit the website http://www.cannes.aeroport.fr/index.html and register.
Cannes is very noise sensitive and you might be checked after landing if you have done the briefing!
Super gracious hosts
A goup of us from King George Airpark in Surrey flew into Cortes with almost no notice and arrived to find lunch ready for pilots and passengers from eight airplanes. Jim and Diane are a real asset to the flying community. We will be back.

Note
Fuel is only available if paid in cash or in advance
First 300m of runway 25 are not usable because of runway condition
One runway only
The location on the picture is due south of the aeroplane icon. You can see the east/west runway just north of the buildings and hedgeline. It is actually at the CFA training facility.
Sharpening!
If you've let yourself get sloppy and cocky then Lynden will fix that! Great little airport but it does require that you make a stable approach at the proper airspeed. I take students in there about once a week if I see them getting too used to the 6700 feet at Bellingham.
Hard to find, but what a view!
You can even get a cold drink at walking distance in the little village
Great place to practice high altitude landings
Not only is the flight there via Tioga pass gorgeous, the airport itself is the best place to practice your high altitude landings
Calling overhead and AOG frequency and runway orientation
The overhead calling frequency is 121.9 for calling other aircraft in the vicinity or AOG // Runway orientation is East, runway 29, and West, runway 11. The length of the runway is 960m, not including the threshold of 10m either end. No ATC, and no refuelling.
Emergency Only
Old Soviet airfield used for rusupplying the garrison stationed here until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The island is uninhabited!
The Runway is probably no good but for information:
Rwy 50/23 - Concrete - 1180m
Rwy 12/30 - Overgrown Concrete - 1470m
I'd not try landing here!
Now a comms station
Autorotations
Once upon a time this is where helicopters from nearby CFB Gagetown practised touchdown autorotations. We used grass/packed snow areas alongside the runways. Is this still what folks do, or do you still use the "new" autorotation area at the Gagetown heliport?
Deer Lake
A gaggle of CH-135s and one or two CH-136s camped near here in autumn 1974 and flew into the airport often, but much flying to the west over magnificent terrain. Very wet month!
Chipmunk 035
I don't know whether it is still there, but Chipmunk #035 was once in the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum collection. It was the first aircraft I flew, and the one in which I flew my first solo. And it still looked to be in pretty good shape when I saw it there decades later, all shiny with the faint scent of nervous pilot sweat in the leathery cockpit!
Porcupine Mountain Fire, 1979
Worked a forest fire at Porcupine Mountain in 1979. My high-time month as far as flying time is concerned.
Collective Challenge
Spent some time here in autumn 1978 for a helicopter competition. Fun
1975
For some weeks in early spring 1975 we flew CH-135s from Alert down along the coast to a place known only as Ho Hum Bay restocking batteries and working out on that thick, old ice, supporting Defence Research Establishment (Pacific), I think. Dropped by Fort Conger, Cape Aldrich, Hazen Lake. Drilled holes through the ice and tried to get the char to bite at something. The char had more luck than we had!
In those days the station consisted mostly of ATCO huts. Comfy enough for the time we were there. I hear it is different now.
re: bulldog puppies
So glad you didn't get scammed. Just remember: ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!
re: bulldog puppies
So he is still at it fyi, it just seemed to good to be true so i checked out the info on the internet. Sure enough the Rubin Tucker name came up. He is using two English Bulldog puppies and saying he needs 198 for two or 100 for one for the paper transfer. I am so glad I found this post before i paid or got my hopes up. Thank You
Vine Grove Airport
remember this field from my childhood, flying with my dad Bob Livingston. Think our old aeronca champ N1406E may be there.
re: Long Meadow Airstrip For Sale
Reply to @Ratherfly: Couple changes...
First the cell phone number has been changed to (860) 798-6288. Call it, make sure it works.
Secondly, we have a spectacular offer for you, Better than Obama! Sellers offer $1,000 to anyone who brings them someone who buys the property. No Strings Attached! Refer a friend, a relative, a neighbor you wish would move away, and if they buy one thousand U.S. dollars go to you.
Good Eats...
Great place to fly in and get some good food and spirits (for passengers). Park at FBO -- Epic Aviation; where you can walk through the gate to McCharacter's Irish Music and Sports Bar. Extensive menu of sandwiches, steaks, seafood and other entrees. Highly recommended. Enjoy Phone # (386) 409-7377
This is not an airport.
This is not an airport and is not used by commertial nor private pilots. there is a new airport not active yet for The Marvelles Caves, but it's aproximately 15 NM east from this location.
re: Principal air base of the Dominican Air Force
Reply to @david: That's absolutly right david. and it's prohibited area just 3 NM From the main international airport MDSD (Las Americas).
VOR Moved
The VOR Listed in the CJ-27 WAC for MDJB Joaquin Balaguer Int. (Higuero) Has Been Moved to MDCY (El Catey Int.) and is active on 115.8 (DCY), it's now located in the notrhen part of the island.
re: Closed
Reply to @dominicanpilot: There are some planes that weren't able to fly and were abandoned in place, a big part of the runway it's now being used by some chain stores and as a drag race place sponsored by brahma beer company.
Closed
The Herrera Airport Has Been Closed to All Traffic And It's Only used as a Landmark
re: Bedford Castle Mill - gone
The satellite picture corroborates what you said, so I'm marking it closed.
Bedford Castle Mill - gone
This was a lovely aerodrome - now no longer; it has been developed as a gravel pit.

AVGAS 100 LL
No 100 LL served anymore. Surprising decision to exclude all pistons engines. No Notam mentioned it on international basis, just internal Italian information. Now in Sardinia, only Cagliari is serving 100 LL at crazy price of 3,02 Euros/liters ! !!!!!
