Friendly Service
Visited this airport briefly to pick up a friend. The fueler was very friendly, even though he was missing the hockey game to be there for me. The runway is at an angle; 0.65% up if landing on runway 26 (though it seems a lot more than that when landing). The airport is staffed with FSS who was also friendly. I presume the whole place is one big friendly Alberta town - next time I'll spend more time and find out for sure.
bulldog puppies
unfortunately we were suckered into this scam from a man that calls himself rubin tucker. he says his son died in a car accident and needs to get rid of the puppies cuz of bad memories. we fell for it and the only thing he asked was for $198.00 which is transfer paper work. then rubin would send out the puppies in the next flight. but the next day we got a bogus email from the airport in cameroon asking for more money $588.00 cuz they were not in a safe crate.. they even sent bogus pics... when i called the number for the airport which was also bogus and saw everyone elses postings... i was pissed. thank god i didnt sent them more money. but the jerks got another thing coming cuz he was stupid enough to call me on my cell phone { caller id is great} cuz he was wanting the wetern union money of 198.00 so badly and in a hurry.. i called him back after all this and told him off. and its not going to stop there. my local newspaper that posted this guys listing and the attorney general will here of this. rubin WILL get prosecuted in his own country.

We will be sending them via Douala Int`l Airport and the express delivery shipping company which is the department taking care of pets will be taking care of the shipment to your location.You will have nothing to worry about because they will be ship and deliver right at your doorstep.If you were to pick them at the Airport then you will need the information but only after they are on their way to your location.So now you have nothing to worry,we will take care of everything here and they have your address and delivery information,so when they get to your location they delivery peoples will call to alert you about them bringing home the puppies.So that is all.Please we will have to make things fast because there is no time alright.As soon as you get the money over to us,everything is going to be taken care of and we will just email you back with the flight information when the puppies are on their way home.Let us know asap.

Fond Memories of Albany Municipal Airport
I learned to fly here in 1975. The Oregon State University Flying Club was based at KS12 at the time.
No good!
The aircraft parked here are so overgrown their landing gear is now part of the landscape. It looks like this was once a field with a Cessna population that is long gone. The runway is no longer a runway and is simply a road into the gas station. Too bad, it would have been fun!
TN08
AKA Oliver Springs International
New Airport Management
The airport is under new management in Steve Merritt, an experience pilot and manager. Don't miss the big annual fly-in -- High Flight 2010 on September 18-19, 2010. See airport website for details.
Hoppy's Restaurant Closing
Sorry to report that the absolute best place to fly in and grab a good meal in the DC area has closed. The new FBO, APP, bought out there lease and is planning to make the space into offices. We'll miis this palace.
Dean International Inc.
Its Class Delta, and a satellite airport below Bravo..
There are a couple of flight schools at this airport, got Para diving... it was fun flying there right under class Bravo and lots of experience...
Fuel
This little airport is a short flight north of North Bay, Ontario, on the east side of Lake Temiscaming. I believe it is the westernmost public airport in Quebec, or at least, very close.
I called today to ask about a Hope Air flight next week. The person who answered was very friendly, and he confirmed that 100LL is available for $1.60/litre tax included (not an unreasonable price for northwestern Quebec). You have to give notice if you want fuel, but the person was very friendly, and said he had no objection to waiting around a few hours if my arrival time wasn't certain. We spoke in French, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to get service in English.

re: How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
If you are a light general aviation airplane, there are no landing fees. I go there every month or so and do pay a dime in landing fee. However, after one day at one of the FBOs, parking will run around $25/night, worth a phone call to double check.
Enjoy this beautiful city!
Fuel
No fuel available
Eddie Rules!!
Nice airport.
How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
Anyone know? I have looked all over and I cannot find what the landing fee will be in CYQB. I am in the states and would be traveling there in June. Thanks
Taxi
ignore the TAXI number in the pilot planning facility and use
TAXIS ABEILLE service 01 39 50 50 00. This worked ok in April 2010 and cost about 18euro into Versailles
re: PPR and stay in the middle
whoops! make that SE of field :-)
re: beja airport
The thing about Ryanair is that they won't mind that it is a fair distance from the Algarve as long as landing fees are cheaper (they specialise in finding airports near (but not quite in) resorts so that they can offer cheap flights). Not so good for people who face an hour and a half's drive to the Algarve once they arrive in Beja but great for those of us who want to go just down the road.
wow
I wanna work there maybe maintain the aircrafts has always been my dream
touzim
Can anyone give me a adress to go there by car? touzimAirport?
re: brandylens@live.com
The email offers the adorable puppy for adoption, free adoption, or sale and then goes on to say you need to pay shipping charges. It just so happens the fake "shipping company" is located in Cameroon Africa. ALWAYS A SCAM!!
Springerville Airport
They have a new self fueling station that is open 24/7. Price is usually one of the least expensive in Arizona and they have both Jet A and 100LL. It is usually a windy airport in the afternoon and when coming from the west over the mountains it can be quite bumpy. This is a high density altitude airport so make your calculations prior to take off during the summer months... not uncommon to have a density altitude of 10,000 ft or more!
brandylens@live.com
This email is being used in puppy scam. It's easy to tell, Yorkshire Terrier, Bulldog or some other adorable breed, offer for adoption, AKC registered, etc. Scam.
Birsa munda international airport
How soon this BM International airport will be operational? Do we have a date given by airport authority of India?
Post email address / Western Union information / telephone n
Those of you who have been scammed, if you want to assist other people in who might be scammed it is imperative that you post all the information on the scam you can including: Post email address / Western Union information / telephone numbers / website / physical address. The websites can be removed for abuse and the other information will stay on the internet and can be Googled by potential victims who will be alerted to the scam. Sending money via Western Union or Money Gram is tantamount to giving to someone on the street.
Fuel Stop
My 30 minute fuel stop turned into a 1 1/2 hr stop. The Snowbirds were there and all wanted to look at my Velocity, great bunch of pilots. Did not realize that the Tudor only has a 1 1/2 hr duration, even with belly tank. Main comment was "You came all the way from Ottawa without stopping?". Brandon has some of the friendliest people in that part of the country.
Contact phone number...
number has changed. New cel # is 860-798-6288.
re: Seaplane base
@Anonymous, the FAA disagrees with you. According to them, there are two separate airports called "Moberg Air Base", one a land base MI13, and one a seaplane base 96M.
Seaplane base
The seaplane cymbal is in the wrong place, it should be where is the "Red" plane is, also see: paulbunyan.net/fair/flyin/ on your browser.

re: No french? no UNICOM
Reply to @anjp: I've never had any response from Maniwaki Unicom in either language. :)
It's true, though, that staff at FBOs for many smaller Quebec airports often don't speak English, or speak very little.
PPR and stay in the middle
as prev post states, there can be some low & soggy spots so stick to to the exact middle of the strip. Also keep in mind the high tower (flashing) SW of field. Don't extend your downwind too far for 35 :-)
Weird wind
Been here a few times (always in the spring/summer months) and have found the wind to be odd. There's a some trees and a few bumps in the North ground that may contribute to this. A couple times wind has been dead on one side and 10-15 kts on the other (measured via dual windsocks installed at aerodrome). But don't let that discourage you.... great airport!
No french? no UNICOM
Been here a couple times and could never get the UNICOM to respond to my english... Other pilots in the circuit speaking french do receive a response. What can you do :-)
