re: Free yorkie puppy.
With regards to my last posting.....I am very nervous to the fact that I gave my address. Did anyone else give that info? Thank You...California
re: Free yorkie puppy.
Wow...This is amazing! I have been in search of a yorkie puppy and when I came across the free puppy advertisement on the internet I thought I had hit the jackpot! I had e-mailed an individual regarding the puppy; however, there were two puppies coming as a pair. Unfortunatly I gave out my name and address ( no phone number..Thank God!) thinking I was going to get the puppies this week. I had e-mailed the individual asking if the puppies would be ok to fly among other questions as to the ownership fee and such. I received a reply telling me not to be skeptical! RED FLAG! The e-mail continued on with sentences ending in OK (as I have seen in other postings) and it was very pushy as to me sending the money because the puppies were being packed up. When I received an address to send a money gram to a state and city I have never heard of, I was prompted to google such info. I am so very grateful that many individuals have posted their experiances with this puppy scam. I honestly feel that it is the same people continuing on with this scam. Again, THANK YOU!....California
re: Rochefort ???
Thanks - that must have been in the original data source. I've corrected it, based on the French Wikipedia article.
Rochefort ???
Err. No. Nowhere near Rochefort, which is in the South of France, typo there methinks.

Sheffield Flying Club
EGNF is an active airstrip undertaking flying instruction, aircraft maintenance as well as general aviation. It has a CAA license, allowing flights for public transport of passengers as well as instruction. The flying Club opened in 1935 and is the oldest in South Yorkshire.
Peel Airports
Another one of their acquisitions. They tried closing it...like Sheffield (SCA). This time their local Council refused!
re: Berz Macomb Airport
I used to fly into Berz occasionally when I lived in Troy. In fact, I bought my first airplane there. My partner took flying lessons there and he happened to see a for sale sign in the window of a Piper Arrow just at the time we were looking. Sorry to see another nice GA airport gone in favor of urban sprawl and more sorry to hear of Milt's passing. He was a true friend of aviation.

re: Burke
Reply to @jerryp: Looks like it's close to Progressive Field as well. I might fly in for a baseball game this summer.
re: FBO and airport fees
Reply to @david: I was there today and once again I had to pay a $150.00 ramp fee, and what did I get for it? NOTHING!!! The TV never works and now they do not have a crew car. I asked them twice and thought maybe someone would offer us a ride but they told us twice that we could walk to the stripmall. Unless I absolutely have to go to KCXY I will go to KMDT!!!

I took flight training and took my first solo flight out of GHG (formerly 3B2). It's a lovely place, right on the beach and managed by great people and a comfortable, new facility. This is a great place to fly!
re: Kingston's first airport, 1929-1942
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.
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?
What is the specific name of the Denali Airport. Im doing a project on the Denali National Park and need the name of it.

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

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

The airport I guess is part of this scam. The guy sure didnt like it that I comforted him about and I told him about the scam on the internet, oh but I aint like that he says.At least I didnt lose my money.BB

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

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.

— @philippe at Lac Sébastien Seaplane Base, Canada
A recent visit showed that they hiked the price of their avgas to an unreasonable 2.50 - more than twice the rate at my home base. Given that this base is not all the way into the boonies, this is rather excessive.
