New terminal just opened April 2010

With all the preparations for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, Hongqiao Airport got a new terminal!

All very flash, with new connections to the line 2 of the subway which will also take you directly (in an hour and a half I've heard) out to Pudong International Airport.

Would be great to see more regional flights flying into Hongqiao in the future.

11 terminals?

I've only been once, but was shocked at the condition and arrangement of this airport.

11 terminals? It seemed more like one big long mess, no real distinction.

Very disappointed with both duty free shopping and any dining options.

BUT they were in a state of renovation when I came in and out of LAX. Hope that this can be finalised eventually!

Ed Gorski

Wow, cant believe I found this sight. I worked for Ed in the early 70's > I did everything from sweep the runway, to washing his car and loved every minute of it. Instructors were great. Arnold Kufta, Tony Farrel, Bill Reda, Bill Feddishon, Daine Sutton, and Chuck Smith. What a great bunch of guys. And their was Lucifer the cat. He used to catch mice in the field and bring them for Ed. Ed loved that damn cat !! Many good memories with Wayne W. hangin in the commander, breaking into the furnace room and buying those bottles of coke, and lets not forget driving the go carts down the runway on lousy weather days. Would love to hear info on any of them guy

Facilities

Nice paved runways, only place around here where you can buy fuel with a credit card. $50 after-hours callout fee. $65 after 11 pm.

has to be the nicest FBO I have ever seen - treated me in my Skyhawk like the Gulfstream right next to me. I will go back there just to give them my business.

Columbia County

Not a bad place - nothing fancy at all. Winds get a little weird I think b/c of the proximity to mountains and the Hudson River Valley. Nice people, didn't really seem to notice us as transients though. Cheap gas which is nice. Surprised that they didn't have a weather station other than local AWOS. No PC or internet. Quick stop is fine though.

Take a Pass on this one

ASOS was off line during approach. Landed b./c my passenger needed the bathroom. Thought I'd get some fuel as well. No dice - closed on Sat and Sun!! No self serve fuel. Guy that was there told us he got laid off and used to work there - let us use the head, but no gas. On the way out ASOS was working - must have turned it on. Wow. ASOS message said no services on weekends. What a dump. I will avoid this place like the plague. Maybe if they sold some gas - the guy would have had a job.

Cheap flights to Radomir/Bulgaria - a cheaper alternative to

It will be perfect when Ryanair will also offer soonest cheap flights to Radomir, which is very close to the health/spa city Kjustendil, the city of Pernik, the Blagoevgrad area, the recreational areas of lake Pchelina and lake Studena with some rural tourism and of course the City of Sofia.

Billy Bishop - isolated from town

Nice enough airport but not if you are hungry or wish to spend some time and money in Owen Sound. No courtesy car, no bicycles. Pay for cab is only way in and back. Typical Canadian airport, town ignores it as a tourism draw. Good news is that Wiarton "CYVV" is nearby and they get it, car, bicycles, food and friendly.

english bulldog puppies

My money is gone and apparently they are waiting on another $240 for the proper size crate. I'm so glad i found this site. I'm thankful i only lost $120. They will not get another dime of my money. His email address is hesleysylia@hotmail. Said their son has cancer and they can no longer take care of the puppies. He asked me personal questions about my lifestyle and ended most emails with "God Bless". I also reveived pictures of the puppies and a confirmation email from the airport saying my puppy was there. I wont send another penny. Counting my losses and thankful i wasn't dumb enough to send $1000.00.

re: 2 free yorkie puppies

I responded to this sam add. In fact I just received an email from them asking questions such as if I was married? Do I have a vet? Will the puppies have room to play, will I send them photos monthly etc. I did respond. Then I received another email, asking for my address phone # address and nearest airport. I felt in my heart that this was too good to be true. I emailed back and asked for the name of the airport so I could call them and make my own flight arrangements for the puppies. I looked up the airport and it brought me to this page. I am so glad I followed my heart and checked before looseing my hard earned money, that I earned honestly. My heart is a little broken but I have the faith that I will find the little teacup yorkie I want so badly.

How dare you tannish my immage

Nice little airport with a restaurant on the field. A little pricey ($9 for a tuna melt) but good service and good food. They have some specialty sandwiches I should have tried...next time. Watch out for skydivers on the weekend. They never stop falling for the sky and the jump planes use the crossing runway. Listen and be alert. It is very, very busy.

Friendly airport

Flew here for a Hope Air flight today. Everyone at the airport was friendly, especially the security guard.

There are two aviation fuel suppliers at Val-d'Or, Valpiro beside the terminal and Petro-T at the south end of the runway, but only Petro-T has 100LL. There's a little Casse-Croute (snack bar) in the terminal, but I'm not sure if it's always open. Since there were no scheduled flights due, the FSS guy let me park right in front of the terminal for an hour: the Petro-T truck drove up and fueled my plane a few minutes after I called.

The phone number for Hangar-Q (Petro-T) is 819-874-7000.

Be prepared to speak French: outside of Montreal and Gatineau, it's not a safe assumption that most francophones can speak English as well.

Colonia Nueva Valencia, grass strip and production site

I've been looking for this place for so long, and much to my surprise it is now clearly identified by Our Airports...

I had spotted this grass strip with Google but wasn't sure about it being the place I had visited in 1967. I was 19, ad traveled all the way up there from Buenos Aires on a single Piper Comanche with my father and two other guys, who were pilots. One of them was Cesare Preve, as the whole place, land and production site, was owned by the Frugone & Preve Ltd. My Italian-born father was manager for that company.

What memories! It was SOP before landing to overfly the site to have someone driving to the strip to pick us up, and to sweep the strip to make sure no loose cattle was around; before take off, a careful sdrive along the strip made sure that no cows could be close enough to opt for grazing across it. Sorting out unexpected quadrupeds while taking off from a soft field on a single-engine plane with four on board could make your day.

A story was told, that when the bushes were cleared up to lay down the air strip, a peaceful family of local indios, isolated and unknown to all, were found and had to be relocated somewhere else...

Not much to add, except I hope the families now living there are healthy, happy and watch their children grow up in that marvelous natural environment ... adios amigos

Lux airport is fine but.....

...feels just like a hospital.....yes, its smallness can get you to the plane quickly and back to your car/bus, the duty free is good, but customs officers look at you as if you have done something wrong, the airside bus drivers thnk they are gods, and Luxair's insistence that a phone's flight mode means it can NOT be used during flight, downgrades any hope of it being anything but a small, regional airport.
