Airport comments for the World

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).

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 ! !!!!!

What a surprise!
I was in Montreal on Sunday 6 June, riding in the Tour de l'Isle bicycle ride. (I'm a cyclist and a pilot.) So, I was riding along Boulevard Gouin with about 25000 other cyclists, enjoying the river and the neighborhood, when suddenly this lot full of seaplanes appeared on my left. I almost fell off the bike! I couldn't believe it. What a neat seaplane base!
My suggestion to the operators - sign up to get one of Montreal's wonderful Bixi public bicycle stations at the base. Central downtown is an easy 15 km from the base, and Montreal is an extremely bike-friendly city. For those who haven't experienced Bixi, these are public bike stations. You put in your credit card, pay $5, and take a bike. Ride to wherever you're going, return the bike to the nearest Bixi rack (they're everywhere), and pick up another one for your return trip.

— Anonymous Flyer at Fiskville Airport, Australia
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.
