re: '7TN5' differs code
Reply to @rrobledo: thanks -- moving the code over. Can't find a code for this airport, so maybe it's closed.

The FAA uses '7TN5' for Flying D. Airport (Tennessee)

re: Neato!
Reply to @bcrosby: I haven't tried Herb's yet (not sure about permissions and runway length), but it seems that there are now two easy fast-food stops in the area -- this service centre, with its own runway, and Les Cèdres Airport (CSS3 -- "Cedars" to anglophone pilots) a bit to the south, which has a truck stop right across the highway from the airport last I was there.
Beja Airport
I can't wait for Beja airport to open - we have friends in Ferreira Do Alentejo so it will save them having to drive the almost 2 hr journey to collect us from Lisbon or Faro.
Neato!
Wow.. that's pretty cool. Handy if your airplane uses mogas ;)
Lilongwe Airport
A small international airport. Access by tarred road from central lilongwe 25km or 40 minutes. Good, secure cheap car parking. Check in area never more than 3 of the dozen or so desks manned. No obvious queing system. Resteraunt and bar upstairs are reasonable. Depature gate has worn chairs and bar is occasionally staffed, busses to the planes in urgent need of replacement. No more than 5 international flights a day from this ariport which seem to be handled to a reasonable standard. On arrival you are met by efficient customs staff. There is one very worn bagge belt but it is served by good manual baggage services from Plane to terminal. Bags frequently lost by airlines but excellent lost and found staff are based in the arrivals area. Lost bags arrive the following day in most cases. (About 30% of people arrive with lost bags on arrival at LLW - most on South African Airlines and Kenyan Airlines due to the 'JNB vanishing effect' and the short transfer time from European flights at NBO) Taxi operatives clog up the narrow arrivals area, cost is between $20 to $30 into town. No public transort whatsoever to or from this airport. Basically an airport in decay, however this is a very good airport for the region and works well most of the time.
Private airstrip
This is a private, paved airstrip attached to a service centre (rest stop) near Vankleek Hill, Ontario, at the junction of highways 417 and 34. I found out about it reading comments on the web, and verified its location (and some parked planes) using Google satellite view.
SJU Latin American Airport
And it needs more Latin American airline service.
Away from it all!!!
Just flew in: Great retreat with access to the beach and safe swimming!
Update NOTAM
Is NOTAM about re-open RWY 05/23 after aircraft block on RWY released?
The (only) Airport in Western Greece during winter
Corfu (Kerkyra) is one of the few Greek airports with normal working hours during the winter (see http://www.ypa.gr/content/index.asp?tid=247&lang=2 - some airports are open only on some days, some are open for only an hour in the evening, etc).
The arrival and stay in Corfu was pleasant. I assume that during the high season the airport may be quite busy.
An important advice: have the AOPA membership card or some proof that you are a flying-club member with you. With proof of club membership, the landing fee is symbolic (some 4 EUR) and you get a hefty discount on handling (some 15-20 EUR). It is rumored that Greeks are trying hard to invite GA guests to their nice places and these discounts are part of this campaign. We can only applaud this attitude and wish other countries would do the same.
Altogether the experience was very nice, although the Greek way (everything can be solved, sometimes a bit slow). ARO is the tower: they were very friendly and helpful in planning and arranging the flight through Greek airspace.
For a 100$ hamburger type of stay (in reality it is a 600 EUR Greek dinner), there is quite a decent Hotel Bretagne 5 minutes walk from the airport and another 15 minutes walk from the city centre.
Nice but expensive
The airport itself is very nice (I was told it was recently rebuilt by a German company and they hold a concession for twenty years to operate it).
All the staff was very friendly. It took the gasoline truck an hour to come to us (yes, they have AvGas 100LL), the ARO was friendly, but a bit clumsy. The main objection is the price: 95 EUR for 600kg MTOW, no PAX.
A prior landing permission is needed. In principle it takes 24h to get it (we got it overnight). Contact is Mr. Vrioni (mobile) +355 682 151 493, (fixed) +355 42 343 487.
African Grey
I contacted this person about an African Grey Parrot and they also came off as a good Christian person. I contacted them about a bird that was supposedly close by so I could pick it up. That is when I was told that they were on missionary work in Cameroon and that they no longer have time for the birds. At once, this seemed fishy to me. If you advertise a bird in one place, why are you located in another? Not to mention, without even telling them where I was located, they told me how long the flight would take. I went ahead and gave false information to follow through and make sure that this was the same scum bags I read about here, and sure enough, I recieved an email back asking for all of my personal information, every sentence ended in ok, so at once, I knew it was the same scamming idiots. I then wrote them back telling them how sad and pathetic they were for scamming innocent, unsuspecting people, who were kind and trusting. It is really sad when people like this float by screwing people out of their hard earned money. I found the birds on birdsnow.com. Watch out for these as well.
Demolition of war-time hangars
This site has been designated a Heritage site back in the 90's however, the DND still wants to demolish the hangars and other structures on the airport. More at the Globe and Mail:
re: Douala International Airport

Kacy J's
The restaurant is reopened and the new people couldn't be nicer. Took some family up flightseeing and the owners even brought out a portable so that those on the ground could listen to the exchange with the tower.
re: Beja airport
If you want to go to the algarve then you would use the airport at Faro. If like me you have a caravan in Ferreira Do Alentejo Beja will be perfect. So i think it is in the right place, when it opens.
Teacup Yorkies
I found female teacup yorkie on buyandsell.com I didnt think anything of it. Her fee was $120. I was like wow thats a really great deal. So I sent the money. Her name was Tina Dawson. Stay away from this woman! She puts on a story that will suck you in.. She says it was her daughters dog and that she died in a car crash 3 weeks beforehand. She comes off as a good "christian" woman. Then I get an email from the airport that I have to send $360 to cover the insurance. I thought it was a little wierd so I didnt send the money. I have been trying to get in touch with the woman so now she wont answer me. I am now out $120. I hate that this happened. Especially during the Christmas season. I want to tell everyone out there about this awful scheme and put this to an end.
museum is shambles
I used to stop at this field/museum back in '80's when driving to Chattanoga for training when working for EME.....lots for aircraft back then...really a shame to see it now...back then I could just wander around and take pics for hrs.....that seems to have been when the most a/c were there......does anybody have a complete list of all the a/c and the total inventory of the museum.....I remember several comm type military vans/trailers...I stopped there in about nov. of 2006......and I could have cried...that place had alot of potential...
please be advised
Dunnville is an ultralight friendly airport. There is an active jump school here also so don't overfly the field. See the canada flight supplement for info re : traffic patterns
Teacup Yorkies
a guy goes by Siniba responded back to me on his 2 yorkie puppies he had. Said he was from IL, when I asked if I could pick the puppies up he said no, Made me think about this. He lives next state over and they're free. Beware of this guy, he says he lost his wife in a car accident and the puppies were reminders of what he lost.I emailed him back and told him a few things, I'll see if he gets back to me on that.I wont send him any money western union or money gram. His emial is Sab.wills@yahoo.com. Funny wants me to send him 230.00 for shipping, makes you wonder.
Closed in 1945
The field appears to use the standard triangle layout used for the BCATP.
Dog Creek is mentioned on the following websites:

re: Airport
I often fly low-ish over this field on my way to CYAM. I was curious about the selection of planes there. Some day I'll land and say 'hi', but after 3-4 hours of flying from Ottawa, I usually just want to finish my flight to the Soo.
Airport
Great little place to stop, no landing or tie down fees. A lot of interesting old planes to look around at. We had a cup of coffee and wnadered around, the owner offered us his vehicle to go for lunch if we wished.
Tanwie Daniel
Tanwie Daniel is a big time internet pets scammed,do not ever send your money to him because he will take your money and you will never see any puppy,he is a very big scam,i was scammed by him last week for a mops puppy which he claim to have
re: Website
I haven't had any luck yet finding an official web site for this airport. There's a bit of information (not much) in the Wikipedia article, if you follow the links.
Website
How about updating the website so that people can learn about ammenities etc..

yorkie puppies.............
hey!I also saw a ad for tea cup yorkies and as we speak the lady is emailing me ........... she want me topay $190 for the transfer of ownership and she and her husband will pay the rest. She wants me to transfer the money in the next 2 hours because their is a fight leaving in 2 hours. I didn't think it was a scam untill I contacted the airport and on they told me there is no fight!!!! I really believed them when I saw the pictures they sent...... this really sucks and the best of all they think they are christians........
Trminals numbers
The terminals numbering system is extremely confusing. Kindly add more signs.
FAA Identifier RVR
It is also known as RVR as well as Ceiba International Airport. It replaced the Fajardo Airport
re: Beja airport
Reply to @david: I'm hoping to use this airport if it ever opens as I have relatives nearby and it will save me loads of hassle and expense of getting to Beja from Faro airport.
re: Cute Pure Bred English Bulldog Puppies
Yeh, it's a scam. I just lost $100.00 to the ignorant people. Is there any way you people think we can all some how get them in trouble together if we work on it or is it just to late. I love bull dogs and have wanted one my whole life...people are crude.
re: Beja airport
Does that mean that the airport is actually open to airline service now? The last news I saw (2 November) still mentioned the opening in the future, and the Portuguese-language website still says it's in the last phase of construction (at least, as far as my limited Portuguese skills go -- too lazy to use Google Translate for a language so similar to Spanish).
Beja airport
I went there on the 18 November 09, this airport will not work for holidaymakers that want to travel to the algarve, too far, 10 Euro toll, in the middle of nowhere, what person thought of this airport?
WRONG PLACE.....
First Hand Update
Polynesian airlines serves this airport with scheduled flights within Samoa and to/from American Samoa.
It was recently closed by the government citing safety concerns according to an American Samoan who I spoke to while waiting to take a flight to the other island of 'Upolu.
Better security and a new runway was installed to meet up with government standards. However, since the reopening of the airport it's been used much less by the public. Perhaps they don't know it's open again? Much better way to get to/from Savai'i/'Upolu than taking the ferry.
re: Douala International Airport
It's funny. I responded to an ad from Uncle Henry's. A local book, people buy, barter and trade from. I was delighted to see free puppies! My children desperately wanted a dog. I emailed the ad, and got a response from a woman whose name was Kristine Lee. She stated that she is 29, pregnant and married to Emmanuel Gomia. She stated they were moving and couldnt take the puppies...This whole story about how her grandfather was breeder and she got a dog for her wedding present and these puppies where the result. She then asked me for $100 per puppy. When I questioned it, since they were listed as free, she said I sounded wonderful and she would just send me the dogs....Then I decided to check, since it all sounded a little odd. And here I am. Luckily, I didnt send any money, or give out and information except the town that I live in. I was very basic. Watch out every one...! Her name is changing, but thr story is the samE!!!!
Douala International Airport
hello everyone i been scam by a lady go by the name kim ensminger in all i gave her $226.00 i want to put this out please do not buy no pet from the internet because people will scam you in you will be out of money so dont make the same mistake i made if you dont want to be out of my money
Only Albanian airport with scheduled service (?)
It looks like TIA may still be the only airport in the whole country with scheduled airline service, though there have been efforts to upgrade Kukës (LAKU) and Gjirokastër to handle scheduled service as well. The Italian government was helping with Gjirokastër at one point.
Airport status?
This was intended to be Albania's second airport with scheduled civil airline service, but some of the comments suggest that things aren't quite working out. Here's Google Translate's (not so great) attempt at translating the Albanian-language comments below (oldest to newest):
"Kukes": do not understand why it is not a airoport such work but should be left at the mercy of fate is all north of Albania who can use ......
"uran uka" (uranium boom): The ndertojete airport in Kukes is a good thing ......................................... .............
"Mendimet e mija" (My thoughts): S SOPI GOSTIL
A Arirport so good and beautiful, especially at night by colored lights, and vihvet not at work, there is something good by the state, who have need for this aireport all Albanians of the north and Kosovo .... ...........
"eshte nje nevoj njerezore" (is a human need): would be better that these comments that we are giving, go to the right ear because this is a national loss but also the first time is a precise mosvleresim Albanian government in the management of this airporti. would be a great help for the area of the northern and south western Kosovo wide. and a fact that is very real in economine Albanian, would have enabled many families and help areas for about employing their relatives.
eshte nje nevoj njerezore
do te ishte me mire qe keto komente qe ne po japim, te shkojne ne veshin e duhur sepse kjo eshte nje humbje kombetare ne rradhe te pare por gjithashtu eshte nje mosvleresim i sakte i qeverise shqiptare ne manaxhimin e ketij airporti. do te ishte nje ndihme e madhe per te gjithe zonen e veriut dhe te gjithe kosoven jug perendimore. dhe nje fakt qe eshte shume real ne economine shqipetare, do te kishte mundesuar dhe ndihmuar shume familje te zonave per rreth duke punesuar te afermit e tyre.
re: Need to document the history
One runway looks as though it was 7000 feet long with the others at 6000 and 5500 feet. My guess is military operations during ww2
re: Need to document the history
well what do you know? from satellite images it looks as though it was at one time quite substantial? Was it for the war? How long was it in operation?
35CA Ident

FAA uses '35CA' for Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center Heliport
