re: cameroon scam! 3 english bulldog pups
Thank you for posting this!!! I just emailed him in regard to those puppies. Its such a sad world we live in sometimes. Thanks again.
re: Location on Google is wrong
Thanks -- I've moved the airport marker.
Location on Google is wrong
The Google marker is showing the wrong locaton. The airstrip is actually about 7km west of where it is marked. If you look at the township of Cabramurra, the airstrip is about 2km NE of the township - you can see it pretty obvious on the satellite photo. Half of the airstrip is a bitumen surface, the rest is hard packed gravel, and there is a now a cloud seeding testign staton adjacent to the airstrip (as well as a weather station which has been there since around 1960).

re: Ottawa's mystery airport
2000 feet of the East-West runway is gravelled and the last 1400 feet is under construction. The South part of the North-South runway is under construction. Check PontiacAirpark.com

re: anyone flown into here from Canada?
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.
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.

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:

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:
