IFR Training Airport
If you need to keep your IFR currency... recommend flying to GSO... Tower will work with you -- great group... easy to work with.
Airport About History
The airport is owned by the University of North Carolina and is scheduled to close in 2010 to make room for campus expansion. Too bad -- nice airport.
Convenient to SE NC Beaches
Stop by and visit with Howie Franklin -- Airport Manager, who used to serve on Air Force One... His office is a museum. He loves visitors... even give you a discount on fuel.
Accommodating airport for Outer Bank Visitors
Great rustic terminal... great ramp service. Crew car available to run onto town for a meal... Call ahead, busy during the summer months. Overnight free with fuel purchase.
Cheap Fuel
Stop in to this quiet airport for some quick inexpensive self service fuel anywhere along the Atlantic coast corridor... great intermediate stop from NY to FL. Say high to George the airport manager... great service.
57A Cafe
Decent eats right on the airport... pick a nice afternoon to fly in and enjoy the scenery and chocolate cake for dessert... Cheap fuel.
Great Day or Weekend Fly In Location
Channel Marker restaurant a great place for lunch or dinner... fly in -- take one of the golf carts into town for a great day of eating and sightseeing. Fuel not available.
BlueSkies Grille
Hungry for lunch... mingle with the pilots and enjoy this family style eatery right on the airport. Park your aircraft at the terminal -- walk inside and order the the daily special. Best lunch desserts around. Fuel is cheap too.
Lunch Buffet
Fly in... enjoy lunch at the neat terminal cafe... $8 all-you-can-eat. Sit outside and watch aircraft circle in the pattern. Worth the trip.
Cold War History
Bodø was a major NATO air base during the Cold War. In 1960, it was the point of departure for the U2 spy plane flown by Gary Powers that was shot down over the Soviet Union.
Great Lunch Place
Good eats right on the airport... sit out and watch the air traffic while enjoying your meal. Decent prices -- highly recommended...
Restaurant
Great place to eat just off the airport. Homestead Restaurant http://www.thehomesteadsteakhouse.com/ When flying in... call ahead on Unicom 122.7 to arrange a free ride to/from the restaurant from the terminal. Great place to eat lunch and dinner. Posted by Komatoast
Temporarily closed
This is Kiev's original, smaller airport (Boryspil, further out of town, is the main one).
As of 2009-01-22, the airport is still temporarily closed for repairs and upgrades (with all scheduled flights shifted to Boryspil), but is scheduled to reopen on 1 February.
Mexican food
Last time I was there they had a great little Mexican restaurant on the field.
re: This time the FAA is wrong
And the FAA replies:
We received the information to change the lat/long from GCR thru a XML
report.
Per telephone conversation with Joyce, GCR, she advised me to change the
lat/long back to what was previously published in NASR. See NFDD 015 dated
1/26/09.

Airport Cafe
Nice little cafe on the east end of the airport.
Corsair Cafe
The cafe closed down last I heard. Post another comment if you hear it's open again.
Air Museum
Stop in a visit the Spruce Goose (it really is big). Tell the FBO you'd like to visit the museum and they will arrange a ride for you.
Nancy's Cafe
On north end of field next to fuel pumps. Great pies. Lots of local color here.
cbz9
Good paved strip a long walk to town, most locals dont even know it exists
Now used by the Coast Guard
The naval base closed in 2000, and the heliport is now used by the Singapore Coast Guard.
Mainly helicopters
The Wikipedia article mentions only helicopter squadrons based here now, but the satellite photos still show well-maintained runways, so there might be some fixed-wing traffic as well.
Two Niner Diner
Nice little cafe on the field.
Deserted
No one here when I visited on Sunday, Jan 18th, 2009. What a beautiful place with flush toilets and a cool, secluded campground. I will definitely be back in a few weeks to do some camping and exploring.
