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.

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'.

Albanian Air Force Academy
This is the home base of the Albanian Air Force academy, though training flights now go out of Kuçovë Air Base.
U.S. Predator base
The U.S. military appears to be using Gjader now as a base for its Predator UAVs:
Storage tunnels
This is no longer an active air base for Albania, but it includes a series of storage tunnels that still contain military aircraft such as F-7s:
Blog entry about this airport
Here's a blog entry from a family working in Haiti, apparently as missionaries, though the content is purely secular. Passengers arriving at PAP have to walk a long distance outside to the terminal, which is not always possible during rainy season due to flooding:
http://bleshblog.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/pouring-raintroubled-pap-airport/
This is where I learned to fly
I did all my training from first flight through commercial at Sugar Valley. It is a great airport. The narrow (24ft) runway is different for most pilots and the 60 foot trees just off the arrival end of 20 are interesting for most pilots. If anyone wants to buy an airport, it is for sale.
Great little strip
This is a private strip but I landed there several times while training out of Sugar Valley. It is neat how the north west end opens onto the Yadkin River.
