Kingston's first airport, 1929-1942
This was the (approximate) location of the Kingston Flying Club's original 1,200 ft grass strip, in what is now the Kingscourt subdivision, with St. Mary's Cemetary on the airstrip's its eastern boundary. The club lost its license after a crash in 1942. After World War II, the club resumed operations and moved to the newly-built military airfield that is now Norman Rogers Airport (CYGK).
YHOX IS CLOSED
Closed and sold for industrial land 2008. So ends the history of a useful WW2 vintage airport. Sad to think that the Commonwealth Government sold all three Sydney GA airports to the same greedy organisation.
re: What is it actually called?
This airport is called "Denali Airport", but it's private. I suspect you're looking for the nearby "McKinley National Park Airport" (PAIN) that belongs to the Park Service:
What is it actually called?

Kyneton Aerodrome
Kyneton Aerodrome is a regional airport which is home to the Kyneton Aero Club and a base for many privately owned aircraft
Trans Canada Airlines at YYP
In 1947, the Dept of Transport had taken over the operation of the Pennfield Airport, as the RCAF moved out. TCA realized that this airport, on a main highway from Saint John would serve the city much better than the long dirt roads up to Blissville and on Apr 1 1947 , Blissville was closed and the Pennfield Ridge Airport (YYP) was opened for scheduled service with all DC3 service.
A new route from Halifax/Yarmouth/Saint John/Boston also began on Apr 1 1947 and the Halifax Montreal flight now stopped in Pennfield . By 1951, Pennfield would see up to 10 flights a day through the Airport, including the transborder flights to/from Boston.
With the opening of the new airport in Saint John (YSJ), TCA moved its operation over there on Dec 31/51
re: SBIA
You'll probably have to go to RPLL (Ninoy Aquino International Airport).
re: EastJet?
I would surely use it a couple of times a year
re: heyy

re: Best aeroclub around.
Bloody narrow strip though, makes it a bit harder to judge your approach than average. Otherwise, good facilities and nice people.

hi
re: Don't depart IFR on a VFR day!
Normally, a control tower will put your IFR clearance on request with center, then clear you to taxi to the active while they're waiting for the clearance to arrive for them to relay to you.
re: Don't depart IFR on a VFR day!
In my case, I taxied without the IFR clearance because that was what I was instructed to do when I called for a clearance.
re: Don't depart IFR on a VFR day!
Reply to @david: I don't understand this. Why would you begin to taxi before getting your clearance. Just wondering

It's in the FAA data, so it's not very classified.
Learning to fly at Sudbury Aviation - 1967.
I learned to fly at Sudbury Aviation during the summer of 1967. At the time I was sixteen years of age. The air service had five Fleet 80s (Fleet Canucks) Some of the registrations that I remember are CF-DYX, CF-HOU, & Cf-ENQ. My father, Doug Calver, was a forestry pilot at the time (MNR) based at Parry Sound. We had just moved from Chapleau that spring. My log book says that I soloed with five hours and 40 minutes. It says that it was the Chief Pilot, Charlie Armstrong who was my instructor on that flight. It was also he who took me on my final fight test for the flight part of the license requirements. We were taking off out of Whitewater Lake and there was a thud, and the engine started to run roughly. I just put it back on the water and we coasted to a stop with the engine running at about 1700 RPM. We shut the engine off and Charlie got out onto the float and opened the cowling. He looked the engine over and commented that the crankcase was cracked. He spun the prop and the engine restarted. We headed back to the dock. We completed the balance of the flight test later in the day in another airplane. He was killed a few years later in a crash in a Cessna 180 (CF-MEO) during the winter time.
Since that time I have had the pleasure of flying with my father, and my brother who learned to fly in Parry Sound at Georgian Bay Airways in 1969. We have had the privilege of owning three different types of airplanes: 1961 Piper Comanche 180, 1975 Beech F33A (gorgeous!!!) and a 1976 Cessna Skyhawk 180. They are all gone now. Wasn't flying them enough because of secular commitments and now who can really afford it anyway! But I have many pleasant memories to recall. My father is now 84 years of age and still in good health. If I still had any one of these airplanes, I'd still give him the left seat.
Thanks for listening,
Dave Calver
Now in North Carolina

I'm not sure you should have this on here.
Magnificent Airfield near Cape Town
This is probably one of the most beautiful airfields in the world with a great club.
Surrounded by vineyards with magestic mountains and the Indian Ocean as back drops.
No better place to sit after an afternoon flight and enjoy a cold beer or to have a breakfast outside the clubhouse after a morning flip.

re: YORKIE PUPPY
I had the same thing happen. Don't do it.
maltese puppy named Daisy
The lady put an ad on craigslist in Dallas But she's in Cameroon and can't keep the puppy All I needed to do was western union money of 90.00 dollars for a new crate to have her shipped in. when they got the money they would mail me time she would arrive but wouldn't tell me what airlines she would be shipped on. I won't send the money as much as I would love the puppy I think its a scam. The lady was supposing as a doctor . if she was she would have known etter than to take a puppy into the country to begin with.

Reply to @david: Thank you. Appreciate the info. ;-)
First Flight Airport
You won't see the runway until on final, but the Wright Memorial is easy to see and about 300 yd east of the runway.
Rolling out on 2 or 20 you are about 500ft from where it all began in December 1903. Every pilot should land here. A literally awesome place.
KPFN
Nice airport on the water, minutes from the finest, whitest beach sand I've ever seen.
CYQM
CYQM is the home of Moncton Flight College where hundreds of students get the best of flight training.
Jersey Aeroclub
The Jersey Aeroclub is handling the GA-traffic. And they're doing a superb job. What lovely people and so helpful. Just park your craft for an overnight stay, go in and meet the folks. For briefing facilities they're well-equipped. After filling in the customs forms, they're willing to help you to find a hotel and call for a taxi.
Diving
Exercise White Plimsole ... APTC diving ex ped.
Superb diving in English Bay Ascension Islands.
re: Have been there.
The nearest airport I know with airline service is Loakan Airport (BAG RPUB), about 70 km to the west-southwest, but you might be able to charter a small plane from there the rest of the way in.

Reply to @misterbick: The FAA still marks it as open.

— @david at Kingston Airfield, Canada
Two more factoids about the Kingston Airfield:
Until 1931, the Kingston Airfield was also a regular stop-over point for airmail flights between Toronto and Montreal.
Billy Bishop (Canada's most famous World War I flying ace) was a frequent visitor and honorary member.
