re: Supply / demand
I flew a Cessna 150 in and out of YYZ many years ago when flying ops were moved from the BFC to YZ's north end due muddy runways in the spring.

I used to fly into King City in the winter with a friend who owned a J-3 Cub on skis. Great fun.

Oh it's not that narrow. A DH 125 landed and took off from there many moons ago. There's been; a MU 2, a Piaggio, Twin Otters, Queen Airs, a Lockheed 10A belonging to Air Canada, T 28 Trojans and Harvards to name a few have been into Guelph. Friendly staff and a nice restaurant with good food. The Tiger Boys also have an active museum on site.

What did you do after you got scammed? the people who scammed us was: Fru Christabel/Choe Roland address: 41 st com av city/state/zip: Yaounde/Central/00237 Country:Cameroon

The truth will set you free ;)
Free Wifi!
YOW now offers free WiFi to everyone in their departure areas. With short security lines and free WiFi, the airport really beats the crap out of bigger ones like YOW and YUL. Customs lines can be long in rush hour, but are pretty good the rest of the time.
Free coffee and hot chocolate
Lufthansa supplies free self-serve coffee and hot chocolate in their waiting area. The cups are tiny, but you can get as many refills as you want, and the machine makes a wide variety of coffee types. If only they offered free WiFi as well ...
Broken WiFi
There were only two open WiFi signals showing up in my departure area (the B gates), and both of them redirected to the same server error on 2010-03-14. Unless you have your own 3G stick, don't count on working online while waiting for your flight.
Arrive early for your flight
GVA is a only medium-sized hub, but it's slower than a lot of big airports like LAX or CDG.
When I arrived for an Air Canada flight on a Sunday morning, there were already hundreds of people in several confused long lines for the AC checkin counter more than two hours before the departure time, and service was very slow (most of them had skis in huge bags to check). The security line was also long and slow, and I heard loud British passengers complaining they were late for their flights. After security, you have to line up a third time to show your passport for exit control (that wasn't a long line), then you line up a fourth time to show your passport and boarding card at the gate about 30 minutes before boarding, then you line up the fifth (and final) time to board the plane.
The moral is not to cut it close: at least on the weekend, 2 hours early for an international flight from Geneva should be a minimum, not a maximum. Or if you can, pick an airport like Paris CDG or Frankfurt FRA that's a bit better organized.
Ground transportation from GVA
Taxis are expensive in Geneva, even for the short distance from the airport to the PΓ’quis or downtown (CHF 34, more than EUR 20, for a few kilometers).
The good news is that you can take the train to the main station in the PΓ’quis in 10 minutes (there's a train every 10 minutes or so), or the 5 bus in about 20 minutes (it passes the exposition hall and the United Nations on the way). If you're staying at a Geneva hotel, when you check in you'll get a card for free Geneva public transit β including the tram, bus and train β for the duration of your stay, so the ride back to the airport will be free.
This data come from the current FAA database.

re: Two English BullDogs in Penny Saver
Got us for 95 usd. Then called us begging to send more money so his puppies he was shipping to me would not get quarantined in France. Total Bullshitter. Would like to meet in a dark alley somewhere. Everyone who is looking to adopt, stay away from this character. She does have a facebook though, hope she accepts me as a friend!!!!!!
La Chimba airport does not exist anymore
La Chimba airport does not actually exist anymore. It has now been converted to a housing estate. A few of the buildings and taxiways are still evident but no runway.
re: 2 Bulldog Puppies
hi right now I have the same problem but this person seems so real he said that he really worry about the puppy if i dont pay for the insurance which is 825 so i told him that i dont have enough so he said he is willing to pay 425 and ill pay the other half. but i dont know im not so sure anymore after reading this site. he is willing to do anything to make me believe him. he send me some recent pics of the pups and promise me that they will arrived here to my house. I need some help.
Have been there
I would like to know if there are available flights on march 27, 2010? from manila to bagabag?
2 Bulldog Puppies
We were scammed. We sent half the adoption money which was 95 usd. We told the owner we would send the other half when the puppies arrived. The airport which was Douala International Airport Small Pets Department confirmed that the puppies were in transit and that they would go to france first then to our airport here in the states. When the puppies apparently arrived in france, Air France sent me an email stating that they need 570 usd for insurance paper work or they would quarantine the puppies for 2 weeks and it would cost 7000 usd after that. They also told me the 570 usd was refundable. When I googled the email address, it brought me to this site. I also notified Air France who told me that it was a scam, they do not have a small pets department. I informed the seller that he might want to get his local police involved to get his puppies back seeing that he was possibly scammed as well. Just a couple days before that I lost about 420 usd from a puppy scam from Nigeria. Told the wife we will save our money and buy a puppy here in the states. Can't trust anyone from West Africa, as I'm told from a buddy I work with who is from Ganna.
re: location of indicator on map is wrong
I've made the change.
location of indicator on map is wrong
The green indicator on the map is sitting north/east of Darrow Field about 1/8 mile. The airport runs next to the dark green field just below and left of the indicator. If you look vary close you can read in white " Darrow Field ". Google has the field named Hettinger Pl. that also is wrong.

2 free yorkie puppies
Apparently I got the same person. He said his wife had died 2 weeks ago...my husband told me it was a scam and now I have to tell him he was right...The email was from Kelly Brown in Cameroon that was relocated to do medical work...Glad I looked up this airport location before I did anything else.

Staff
What an experience at this airport - I had heard other travellers experience so I put myself through it to get my own findings. Arriving at the airport no bad at all, ( As I had no food in my suitcase or valuable items. ) Departing however was a disgrace, First set of checking staff, asked me if I had any english notes and if not my suitcases would get opened. ( thats said to every person to get them all panicked ) I had 3 kids with me so didn't have the patience to tolerate this kind of talk from a man who was probably getting paid less then me. I told him to go ahead and open my suitcases. well as soon as that was said, he then instructed a woman staff member to go through my cases and slowly moved onto his next target And even after that every check that was done the staff have probably never craked a smile in the last 20 years. It;s obviously very hard for certain people of a certain degree to get to the grasp that, we too earn for a living, we work day and night and then pay for a ticket and fly over, its hard explaining that to humans that think money grows on
trees. Money talks not the truth...... now I know why such a word as corrupt is used.....

Bright Star 81
Spent an interesting moth there in Nov '81 during the original Bright Star mission, anfter Sadat was assasinated
Still maintained?
I'm curious if this is still maintained as an emergency highway landing strip.
Probably closed
Looks like another former Soviet airstrip. The runway pavement is seriously decayed.
Closed?
There are no markings and no signs of aircraft, but the pavement looks like it may still be usable. I'm guessing this is another former Soviet airbase.
Closed
This airport appears to be closed -- the outline of the former runway is barely visible in the satellite view.
Closed?
From the advanced decay of the runway pavement, it looks like this airstrip (former Soviet airbase?) is closed. Can anyone confirm?
Former Soviet Base?
This looks like an abandoned Soviet airbase. There are no longer any markings on the runway, and some tracks seem to cross it, but it still looks usable. Does anyone know if this airstrip is still open?
Can I get a flight to this airstrip
I'm not too far from this airfield and want to know if I can get a flight from Manila to here any help on this matter would be really appreciated kind rgds Steve
The airport
Let's get the place open so we can get to the Alentejo without having to fly to Lisboa!
On the way to Victoria from Marcus.
Returning to Victoria from Perth, Port Lincoln and so on in company with another C172, we refueled at Aldinga and due to a deteriorating weather forecast for the Melbourne Geelong area, we elected to spend the night.
The person (lady) who seemed to be the manageress in the school could not have been more unhelpful with regard finding us some accommodation for the night.
Whilst thinking about what to do we met a really nice couple who own a hanger at Aldinga and they went out of their way to help us. Booked us into a lovely reasonably priced motel and picked us up in the morning and took us back to the airfield.
What rating should we give Aldinga? Gorgeous scenery and lovely location but not impressed with the service or unhelpful attitude.
