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.....
PUG PUPPIES

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.
re: ICAO code conflict
This airport have index URRQ (in russian УРРЯ) - only AFTN index, not ICAO.
re: YADG
You must be thinking about some other airport, or are you dreaming?
Beware
Very friendly if they can get some money off you. Otherwise arrogant, do not do as we do, do as we say. Fly odd circuits and illegal right hand circuits.
Exercise extreme caution when approaching and in the circuit as no consideration toward others.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG
You will either get abused or dobbed in to CASA.
2 rules, one for them and one for others.
Such a shame as is beautiful setting that deserves better.
Care Needed - John Ryner
Yes they have a reputation for dobbing aviators in to CASA – I was warned!
The school is called Adelaide Biplanes, they have some kind of mental problem.
Just stick to rules and you will be OK, there own students can do what they like.
Also beware of aircraft landing in any direction on any strip at the same time – its pretty crazy – well it was when I landed there a few time on my SA holiday.
Dobber
Don't do a go-round he flying school will ping you to CASA for low flying
In fact don't do anything wrong here - leafe that to them - two standards!!!!
Great Airport
Exclusive Charter Service has great service out of here,
suggest calling them for a Jet, flow with them for years now and always on the ball!

re: Closed for public use
Reply to @fferm: that's bad news -- I hate to see yet another airport close.
re: Runway closure.
Thanks for the info - I've marked 18/36 as closed.
Yorkies Puppies!
I received an email from a Joesph Masterson's wife saying the were oncologist doctors from New York but got sent to Cameroon for work. She needed $100 to ship the dog to me... I new it was a scam. The airport called me, as soon I would ignore it I'd call it back and it would be disconnected. Now I am just messing with them! WHAT FUN! I am wasting their time like they are wasting mine!!! Does anyone know if this airport is even real?
Runway closure.
the shire has recently (Feb 2010) errected a fence on the south side of the east west runway which runs across the north south runway.
the shire will nolonger maintain the north south runway and have placed out os service crosses along the north west runway.
Closed for public use
Unfortunately this airport is now closed for public use and will be fully closed in the spring of 2010
Yorkie puppy Scam!
OH my GOSH! I just spent 90 dollars on a Yorkie puppy from somebody by the name of unclemitterand@yahoo.com! I sent the money out yesterday morning and he said i would receive the puppy no later then today! I talked to him on the phone and everything! I feel so stupid and I'm PISSED! After he emailed me and said that the he was on his way to Douala International Airport that's when i decided to do some research and i founds out that all this was a scam!! He said that his wife had died two weeks ago and he needed to give away 2 puppies that he had but he wanted to keep them together so he wanted to give me both and i said no i just wanted one and that's when he said it was just going to be 90 bucks for 1. So i paid the bastard and now he's coming up with all this BS and how he's been busy all day trying to get paper work together and shit blah blah blah blah..i can't believe that people actually scam others this way! I believe in karma and i hope it goes around twice as bad to this dumb ass who ripped me off!

Orangeville Airport
I got my PPL license there in 1971 with Townsend Air Service. It was also a Lake Amphibian distributor. Not sure what year it closed. Elton Townsend moved the operation to Muskoka Airport.
Avgas at Cassidy International
Flying on a ferry flight with my new (used) Saratoga from USA to Australia and the ferry company has scheduled landing at Cassidy for fuel. If there is no avgas then I won't be going any further. They always land there so I assume they arrange to ensure it is available.
Prairie Jewel
A great place to fly to, situated on highway 24 which runs to Calgary to the north and Lethbridge to the south. Right next to the Vulcan airport is the golf club which boasts a great 18 hole course and you can take a short walk across a couple of fairways from the airport and have breakfast or lunch at the club house (spring thru fall only). Vulcan is a growing agricultural community about 90 minutes southeast of Calgary Alberta and lots of retired Calgarians are moving here to escape the hustle of the big city. The main part of town has shops and other restaurants to choose from. Population is about 3,000.
Runway
Bassano airport has a new re-surfaced runway 07/25 and is a great place to land, it has a pilots lounge with pay phone and washrooms. This airport is just off the Trans Canada highway. It also now has a flying school which just opened this year (2010). The town is only a short distance from the airport and has a couple of great restaurants to choose from. The local flying community and town puts together an awesome airshow each summer. This small farming community has some of the friendliest people around.
re: Beja Airport
Me too. can,t wait, it will save such a lot of time & petrol , travelling down to faro.
re: Spectacular approach!
Reply to @philippe: You havn't seen Isafjordur wich is a scheduled airport and the runway heading is straight in to a mountain and a narrow approach to, more spectacular!

re: Lovely caribbean airports.
Here's a YouTube video of a landing — I love that they stop in time for the turnoff halfway down:
Lovely caribbean airports.
An airport with attitude. Cliffs and sea on both ends, only 1300 ft. long. Mountain on one side.
The Dutch engineers thought it couldn't be done. A french pilot said flatten the bumps, fill the holes and I'll land on it. They did and he did. Now it's rated as one of the world's most dangerous airports. Nevertheless, no serious accidents have occurred here. Just make sure you hit the numbers and that your brakes are in good condition. Otherwise, have a nice swim.

re: aka 6q6?
That seems to be a former identifier - I've added it to the keywords.
re: Update
Thanks - I've marked it as closed. Are you sure no one uses it occasionally (gliders, ultralights, etc.?).
re: NDB installed
Reply to @PrinceJ: if you can point me to more information about the NDB, I can add it to the site. I need name, identifier, latitude, and longitude (at least).
Thanks,
David
re: pilot info
Reply to @juf: Thanks - I've marked the airport as closed for now, and can change the status back when the new runway is ready. I'm guessing it won't be only a glider airport in the future.
re: Hawke Field
Reply to @prattsoplenty: Thanks - I've changed the status of the airport to show that it's operational, and added a "private" tag.
