Air condition system
The Air-conditioning system is pathetic,some thing must be done about it.
re: anyone flown into here from Canada?
I have, but only pre-9/11. It required 2 hours prior notice by phone, and don't you *dare* get out of the plane before the customs guy gets there. (Although it's ok to stand on the wing and pee if you have to - but only if you have a low-wing.)

Professional and Accomodating Staff
What else is there to say. If you have to stay at an airport, this is one of the better ones because of the staff. Friendly, professional, helpful. Made our stay great.
Puppy scam
I have been chatting with someone about a puppy only $150.00. Because I kept tell this person I was unsure they offered for me to pay half and after I received the puppy I could pay the rest. Finally I looked up the country and city and found this website amongst others. I immediately wrote back about my findings. I have not heard of anyone since.
re: New Policies at YKZ
Reply to @david: Yeah.. YKZ's aprons have always been uncontrolled. I don't know the reason why, because the tower has a clear view of the area. Before you could just call up "on the main apron" and you'd get taxi instructions. But now, the controllers want you to specify exactly where you are on the apron. Makes sense, this way they spend less time looking for you.

re: Have been there.
Reply to @david: that's bagui and is probably 8 hours ? through the mountain roads which would defeat the object of flying - better to fly to togegerau ?
re: Have been there.

Worth the journey
The Tuskegee Airmen Museum in Hangar One at Moton is a moving memorial for the intrepid flyers who beat the obstacles as black airmen in WWII. Their success is an inspiration for every pilot.

Pork ????
Really nice airport. Too bad it is deserted... looks like a pork project gone bad.
History
During World War II, this was RAF Westhampnett. Two fighter squadrons (145 and 602) were based here during the Battle of Britain. Later in the war, the USAAF also used the field. It became a civilian airfield after the war.
Since the late 1940s, a motor racing track, the "Goodwin Circuit", has run around the airport perimeter.
Manila to Nueva Vizcaya
Are there flights to and from Manila - Bagabag, NV? What kind, sizes of planes? We plan to go to Dupax del Sur on our next visit to P.I. Thanks.
Reopened
The airfield reopened for light airplanes.

Reply to @ghuzmeli: The airport isn't on Spratly Island, it's on Swallow Reef, which was built up into an artificial island by Malaysia:
Henrys Fish Restaurant
No Fuel, Just the world famous Henrys Fish Restaurant. Great place to stop for a meal. Great food served in a family style and great staff in a beautiful setting. The place in known for the fish! Plus you never know what world famous celebrity you might see while you are there.

Spratly Island is administered by Vietnam as a part of Khanh Hoa. See at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratly_Island_(proper)

Cute little airport
Dont mistake the road that runs parallel to 32 for the runway. *thats* how narrow the runway is here!
re: New Policies at YKZ
Reply to @bcrosby: Interesting. The main apron at CYOW has been uncontrolled as long as I've been flying, because tower can't see well enough to guarantee that you'll be clear of planes pushing back, baggage trains, etc. A typical clearance is back to the north field from the Esso or Shell is "taxi bravo, apron at your discretion, alfa, tango, hold short runway 22" — the "at your discretion" is controller-ese for "you're on your own taxiing around the parked Airbusses, bubba". I think CYYZ has a dedicated apron controller.
re: KCXY
Great airport, great service and great customer service personnel. An airport you have to give a try
Prior permission required
The airport allows camping, and is only a few minutes' walk from restaurants and lodging, but you need permission to land:

New Policies at YKZ
These are a little out of date, but thought I would mention it anyways.
1. Taxiing. The main apron (near the terminal) is uncontrolled. It is suggested that you let the ground controller know where you are when calling up, and be specific. Ie, "on the main apron holding short of foxtrot" for example.
2. When you need to talk to London FIC, do so using the RCO and *not* 126.7.

I love this place>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I own a cabin out on Waweig, greatest place on earth.
Hansen Airfield
I was into Hansen Airfield on Cortes Island on August 03, 2009. What a great place to fly into. The runway is in fine shape and there's plenty of room for parking. Jim Hansen supplies tie downs and you won't find a friendly airport anywhere. If you're looking for a new place to fly try Hansen Airfield. It's in the Canada Flight Supplement and is an easy flight from the lower mainland of BC.
re: KCXY
Reply to @TwinCoFlyer: That's great news! There were too many horror stories from UFS-Aero.

KCXY
Everybody should know that the FBO at CXY has been replaced. CXY Aviation is the new FBO. UFS-Aero is gone and thankfully so. NOW THERE ARE NO RAMP FEES, NONE. THERE IS STILL A LANDING FEE WHICH IS WAIVED FOR FUEL PURCHASES OR ANY OTHER SERVICES DONE BY ANY OF THE BUSINESSES ON THE FIELD. There are new hangers built and available. There are other maintanence shops. "Aircraft Maintanence Services" and "Wings and Things" to mention two. The new FBO is developing a new flight school and other facilities. Fuel is once again competitively priced. The Tower personal are great and very helpful. Give KCXY a try and I believe that you will not be dissatisfied.
Thanks for your consideration.

— @david at Watertown International Airport, United States
Yes, I've cleared customs at ART. Unfortunately, I had to wait 30 minutes, because the customs people forgot about the meeting and didn't leave the bridge until I called on my cell phone.
If it's VFR weather, a better option is 89N Alexandria Bay/Maxson Field:
http://www.ourairports.com/airports/89N/
It's much closer to the Thousand Islands Bridge, so it's easier for the officers, and you don't have to wait as long if they forget.
Syracuse (KSYR) also has customs nearby, as does Ogdensburg (KOGS), which is at the next bridge down from the Thousand Islands Bridge.
