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
OAS
fuel situation will soon change look for them in the CFS
0NJ5 Fla Net
Devil of a time in Flight Sim 2004 landing a Grumman Duck on this hard-to-find little strip, and I REFUSE to
use GPS on this trip !! If I can't eyeball it, I'm not setting down on it.
SBIL
RUNWAY 29---VFR---290º
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.
FHAW
RUNWAY 13---VFR---130º
Disputed island
Taiwan runs this small military island on the airport to support its claim.
DGAA

re: Fiddymint field gone!
Reply to @ptomblin: Yes, it's still in the database, but if you look closely at the satellite pic, you can see a network of residential roads starting on the right, then fading out where an older picture of the airport is stitched in. Switch from satellite to map view, and the roads continue right onto the airport property. I think we have to conclude that the FAA record just hasn't been updated yet (nobody bothered to tell them). I'm going to switch the airport to 'closed', at least for now.
re: Fiddymint field gone!
It's still in the 02July09 FAA database.
Fiddymint field gone!
Condo's built over it!

Control tower coming in December 2009
Fredericton is currently a mandatory-frequency (MF) airport with a flight services station. It's the busiest non-towered airport in Canada, and Nav Canada has announced that the airport will be getting a control tower (presumably class D) in December 2009 with 12 full-time controllers:

It's closing
http://www.aviation.ca/content/view/7583/117/
"Blatchford Field Airport in downtown Edmonton City Centre will be closing the run-ways. At a vote today in council chambers, aviation just didn’t measure up.
The Airport was a primary learning base during WWll.
Edmonton City Centre Airport is a major Airport for air charter, emergency medical transport, and supply gateway to the north and it is too soon to tell what other implications the closing may have."
Formerly RAF Gütersloh
This airstrip was formerly RAF Gütersloh. The British Army took it over after the RAF's withdrawl, and now uses it as a helicopter and signals base.
Better
this is really close to my home i like it cause then i dont have to drive far
Spent a night here 2009-07-07
I flew a relative here from Ottawa, then had to stay for the night because of thunderstorms along my route. Karine at Aeropro was very friendly, and between my French and her English, we managed to communicate. They found a tie-down spot for me, and there was no charge for the night's parking, since I'd already bought gas.
My first touch and go
Never realised how fast this operation takes... a few seconds. No time for chit-chat or welcome drinks.... off and away again.
My first controlled airspace.
I was so nervous nearly missed the approach. Lovely place to have a snack.
Security/Robbery
Please don't leave any valuables in the bungalows/tents, even if you are just out for dinner or swimming at the pool.
PPL passed here
A lovely country side aerodrome. A small club with several aircrafts, and many friendly people. Thanks RNAC
Fuel prices 2009-07-06

100LL AvGas: CA $1.42/litre + tax = CA $1.60/litre (CA $6.04/US gallon)
No landing, ramp, or similar fees.
Well maintained runway
Served with regular charter flight from Yap Island
Avis doesn't need a deposit
For car rentals at the Waterloo airport this weekend, Hertz was sold out and National was demanding a credit-card guarantee with a $50 penalty for cancelling with less than 24 hours notice. Avis, however, let me book with no deposit and no problem.
The Hansen's and thier airstrip
Super nice people and a wide and long airstrip. Jim and Diane go above and beyond being hospitable and thier home (lodge) is unique (very cool) which is located right at the end of the runway or beginning.
It's 2600 feet long and Jim continues to lengthen and widen it.
Barry & Kim
Fuel
The Fort Severn Airport does not sell 100LL AvGas. The airport manager believed that the local First Nation might sell it by the barrel (1 barrel=37 US gallons), and suggested calling the band council secretary at (807) 478-2572.
100LL is available from the pump at the Churchill Airport, 262 nm to the northwest, and at the Moosonee airport, 378 nm to the southeast.
I have a name
Im in nor. cal and someone has been emailing me with the email address
"henry Morgan"
He says he moved from the US to Cameroon, and has an english bulldog, whos name happens to be the same as mine... which is extremely strange.. however, its a good ploy to use when trying to sell people a "fake" dog.
He almost got me, until I saw this add. He had emailed me his info, and I decided to look it up and saw all these comments.
Its horrible how people are doing this. I have been looking for this breed for months now, and got extremely excited.
I hope that email address and name helps, incase he tries to scam anyone else!!

re: English Bulldogs $197 shipping only! ***FAKE***
I have been emailing with someone who says he has a english bulldog as well and will be shipping it out of Douala Airport, and would like me to wire him $200.00
I was very interested in his puppy, but now believe it is a fake, and am extremely upset. Thank god I came across this, because I was so close to wiring him money for a bulldgod.

Latest FAA data
The latest FAA dataset has this airport's id as "54X", but that could be a mistake on their part. They've made worse mistakes in the past.
Fond-ish memories
I remember many evenings spent in LAX terminal 2 in the late 1990s, waiting to catch the red-eye back to Toronto to connect on to Ottawa and get back to my young family. I hear a lot of horror stories about LAX and Air Canada now, but back then, before the merger with Canadian, Air Canada never left me stranded or let me down. I'd fight my way back to LAX from Long Beach through the rush-hour traffic, drop off my rental car, then find a plug, huddle in a safe warm corner, and work on my computer for a few hours, generally grabbing a bite from the Wolfgang Puck franchise restaurant thingy and happy knowing that I was on the first stage of my trip home.
I've been through terminal 2 a few times since, but not for the red-eye. Air Canada still generally leaves on time, but I'm not rushing back to young kids and a tired spouse any more, so it's more leisurely, and the terminal is just another dingy terminal.
Concord crash site
On 25 July 2000, Air France flight 4590, a Concord, had just taken off from nearby Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG) with its fuel tank on fire. It attempted to divert to Le Bourget, but was not able to make it, and crashed into a hotel short of Le Bourget.

— Anonymous Flyer at Douala International Airport, 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!
