Comments 14,264 to 14,313 of 15,876
Expansion
What used to be a little aerodrome has now got a lot bigger. A variety of aircraft from warbirds to helicopters operate from this airport daily.
re: Why does this helistop exist?
That big building across the street is probably a hospital.
re: North South Rwy Obstructed
Oops, didn't mean to imply that the airport was unusable... The E/W runway is 1800 feet long, and clear at both ends.
North South Rwy Obstructed
Although this airport has a 1300 foot north/south strip, it's pretty much unusuable due to the high tension power lines at the south end of the field.
Why does this helistop exist?
Anyone know why this exists? 06C is practically right around the corner, so I have to imagine that there was a specific reason to build this helipad where it is.
re: Where was RCAF Station Fingal?
You can see the runway outline clearly in the Google satellite view above. Switch to map view for driving directions.
Where was RCAF Station Fingal?
No longer in operation. General vicinity of St. Thomas Ontario.
My home base
Rotterdam airport is interest for private pilots, as it has commercial (mainly 737, F27) and GA (business and private) traffic. There are a number of flying clubs based there, one of which is the largest in the Netherlands with 20 aircraft.
Have been there.
I lived just off the airport for a year. It is a classic small Philippine airport. Love the people of Bagabag.
Geelong
A small airfield adjecent to avalon airfield
Deer on runway
Always deer on edges of runways, great cheap fuel though
Nice quiet airport in Ashland Wisconsin
Log building as terminal - nicely built and maintained
Learned to fly at the Richard I Bong " Ace of Aces " airport
Small well run airport. Be sure to talk to Bill Amorde in the FBO. Bill is a local legend in flying and has FAA ratings as long as your arm. The guy has done it all, Planes, Balloons, Gliders, Helicopters !!!
Location?
I was only 9 years old when we left the area, but I've put a POI about where I think the airport really was. Rumour had it back then that the owner had put everything in his wife's name because he'd been sued over an accident.
re: about the airport
Generally an "international" airport means it has scheduled international service, although some of the small airports around here call themselves ""international" because they have on-call Customs service.
about the airport
in my oppinion,this airport must be an international airport
Bintulu
I'm a student from SMK Kidurong would like to have a favor to my Malaysia airlines system and Air asia. I just wondering , that Bintulu is oil town. I heard Kuala Lumpur , Kuantan , terengganu and Johor bahru always need direct flight to Bintulu. My opinion is ; I just wondering only that malaysia should make 2 or 3 flight from Kuala lumpur to Bintulu and that is for Malaysia airlines . and air asia too.. My friends always to johor. that said. they always transit to miri to get a fligth to johor and terengganu.kuantan.. is also always go to bintulu for their business or oil industrial. My teacher's too always transit to kuching. Because always full when she goin to KL and Pulau pinang.
Closed for years
My Family still owns the Campbellford Airport, however it has been closed since my grandfather retired from flying in his mid-seventies. This would have been 20 years ago or maybe better. Time goes fast when you're having fun!

Airport
The airport is small but it has a big effect on the town of wiarton.
re: status
Right now the Behala Flying Club operates a flight school here, but the government is planning to expand the airport to handle commuter airline flights:
Best aeroclub around.
This is my home aerodrome and its brilliant. If you ever get a chance to visit, do! Please note all circuits are to the east due to the 'fly neighborly' policy.
status
Only a flying school operates here
Apparently closed
I've marked this air base as closed, since it's clear from the satellite photo that a road has been built through it.
Executive Air
These folks were really great. they made my hotel and car reservations for me. Car was brought up front - ground crew was right there tying plane down and topping off. Nice place andI would definitely come back.
Worth a trip
really nice terminal. Empty and a shame. Nice folks - very helpful - rental car was there waiting for me - fueled me right up. Interesting mountain departure
Nice Airport
Near Nett Lake - The system forced me to identify the airport as within the US but it is really within the territory of the Boise Forte Band.
re: Disneyland?
This is the best airport for small GA for Disneyland from what I heard. We used it and liked it a lot!
P-3 strip
As VP-45 P-3 Aircrew I flew in several times. Last visit in a P-3 was interesting; #4 start valve would not open (even with a couple of whacks with a hammer) so the PPC did a runway high-speed run to spin-up start #4. As #4 started, he went to full beta thrust to stop before running out of pavement. Then taxi back with all four turning to pick up the rest of the crew for a ride back to Jax. Snorkeling there was great; it was just across the runway, and the fire department would give us a rinse off before getting back in pickle suits. Oh the days.
Thruxton
Friendly airfield in Boscombe Down CMATZ
Good prediction Tony
I flew in for the first time today. I should have read the comments first, as I came in high an plopped it just like Tony predicted. I'll be back there later this year & will do better on the landing. I've heard that they will be adding a North/South runway this year for the G20 Summit at Deerhurst.
Steve
re: It's closed
Thanks -- the Wikipedia article confirms that the base was decommissioned in 1999, and that, after a long debate, they decided to convert it into a park. I'm changing the airport status to 'closed'.
