re: cameroon scam! 3 english bulldog pups
OMG!!! The same thing happened to me I saw an ad for a teacup yorkie online and contacted the owner via email about purchasing it. I was under the impression that she was located in the state of North Carolina but she wasn't. She gave me this long drawn out story of how her daughter just died from a brain tumor and she was trying to sell the dog because her daughter was the main caregiver of the dog. I fell for it and I sent a $110.00 money gram and not even two days later I received an email from the Douala airport claiming that the dogs insurance was expired and I would have to send an extra $288.00 to cover the dogs insurance but they said that the money was refundable once the dog arrived in the states. I emailed the owner and she said that she was broke and didn't have the money she said she could only cover $100.00 of it. I told her that I refused to send any more money down there. She gave me this sobb story about how she has fallen on hard times which to me was BS becuase I'm like hell were in a recession everybody is having hard times and she knew the dog's insurance had expired but she still sent it to the airport. so I asked her well why would knowingly send your dog to the airport knowing that her insurance was expired. I knew then that this had to be a scam. So in the end I'm out of $110.00 but I know that I will not purchase anymore anything from overseas especially coming from Douala Airport.

Light rail into Boston
This station is about 4 miles from the west side of the field, and just over 2 miles' drive from the east side, on the Newburyport/Rockport light rail commuter line into Boston. The fare to Boston's North Station as of July 2009 was $6.25 ($3.10 senior/disabled), and you can take the subway from there to other parts of Boston.

Easy stop over
Nice air strip - looks like they may have either just built this, or they expanded it recently. FBO is a trailer, but very welcoming. Line crew (Kyle) was right there on the line with my rental car and tied the plane down. Very friendly and helpful. Hertz rental car had the car there on time, but it was dirty inside and out and was actually pretty tired for a rental - 38,000 on a rental is a lot - sounded like they were losing a wheel bearing in front - very loud - so not any kudos for them. Very convenient for me since I have business in both DC and Richmond - right in the middle and outside the SFRA - which is why I think there were some serious jets parked as well.

re: dont belive in people in cameroon
it's true!
they ask for a feeding fee and everything!
They say your puppy is starving and they will turn you in if you don't pay!
We have to find some way to turn them in!
Permission to Land and park
Is there a phone number for permission to land & park,
We cannot find any phone numbers for town offices?
Former student at Lincoln Park Airport
This is the first time I have seen this website, and I am pleased to see the response from others about the airport.
Back in 1962 on my sixteenth birthday my grandfather paid for my first lesson.
The plane was a Piper PA-11, tail number 4549M. The instructor was H.T. Buckley.
The lesson was only thirty minutes but the memory lasted a lifetime. That day I was introduced to Ed Gorski and his wife, and other pilots were in the office on that day. After that first flight, I spent every dollar I earned going back for more, for I could not get enough of this new experience which completely changed my life. I remember after I had soloed once or twice Ed would ride in the back seat for the first couple of landings, to make sure I was able to handle the cross wind conditions, he always seemed to have a cigar in his mouth and yelling orders from the back seat about what I was doing wrong. When I fly today I can still hear his voice and it brings back back fond memories.
There is a lot more that I would l like to share about my experiences at the Lincoln Park airport but the website does not allow the space it would require. I thank you for the opportunity to share my experiences.

Potential
I think this airport has potential if it can expand its runways to handle corporate jets. I'll visit one day...soon.
Landing in Khorog
Wow... That is some approach to the airport! I wouldn't like to do it in IFR let along VFR conditions! That looks like a deadly approach if you mess it up haha

ramp fee
$25 bucks for me to drop off a friend from my C172 seems somewhat excessive. Understand they need to make money and have no issue with that, but attach a value to the service. I was at the ramp for a moment and they had their hand out. Will go out of my way to avoid Exec air again.
