re: Accueil
Sounds great! I've flown over this airport a few times on trips from Ottawa to the Gulf or the Maritimes, but never thought of landing. Riding a rented bicycle around a quiet island in the summer sounds very relaxing.

Thanks -- I've corrected the name, and updated the Wikipedia link.
Uncle

Closed

Greetings From Poland
Hello to all ! Greetings From Poland. very Good Page !
Great little airport
just off the island of montreal, used more as a flight training school, but lots of private owners use it as well.
if you are looking to refuel fly 20mins west to cornwall regional, gas prices are cheaper because of less tax.
Closed to all traffic?
According to the Wikipedia article, this airport closed in 2006 when airline traffic moved to La Isabela, and the military blocked the runway. There are a lot of planes on the apron in the Google satellite photo, though — could the photo really be three years old? More info would be appreciated.
Principal air base of the Dominican Air Force
This is the main base for the Dominican Air Force. It originally opened in 1953 as Trujillo Air Base, and was renamed to San Isidro Air Base in 1961. According to Wikipedia, most of the fixed- and rotor-wing fleet is based here.
Is this airport closed?
The markings are nearly worn off the pavement, and at least one road or path seems to cross it.

Mainly flight training
This is the home of the Qatar Aeronautical College. Here's a video shot from the cockpit of a Socata TB20 landing at the airport:
Wind farms
It's worth a trip to the Pincher Creek airport to check out the wind farms in the area. And you'll get a close up look at a wind turbine on the north side of the airport on the downwind for runway 07.

Airport closed 30 April 2008
The airport was closed on 30 April, 2008, with plans to develop a business park. A heliport will stay open, however, for police and medevac use only.
Closed?
I've marked this closed for now, based on the state of the pavement, and what seems to be bushes growing through the cracks on the runway. Does anyone know otherwise?
That's an OLD image!
The satellite image provided is more than 4 years old! KMRN now has new hangar buildings, a parallel taxiway from the mid-field ramp at taxiway C to the end of RWY 21, new pavement markings, two helipads next to the FBO building, and the wind sock and segmented circle have been relocated.

re: Harrowing And Fond Memories
My primary flight training back in 1969-71 was out of LGA. The school was the long extinct La Guardia Flying Service. LGA being what it is meant we flew elsewhere for practicing t&g's and full stop landings. Lincoln Park was probably my favorite airport since I could get an idea of what making a carrier landing was like. If I remember correctly, the runway was gravel in those days and much shorter. Can anyone confirm this?
Dennis Harper
Oldest airport in the Czech Republic
According to Wikipedia, this is the oldest airport in the Czech Republic, built during World War I by the Austro-Hungarian empire, then used by the Germans in World War II for an aircraft factory. In 1918, when Czechoslovakia was created, it was the country's only airport. The city bought it from the military in 2004.

Timmies in the main terminal. Park at shell and walk over.
An emotion of a Vietnamese-American at the Tan Son Nhat airp
My nick name is TT, a Vietnamese-American, had come back to Vietnam for the Lunar New Year of 2009 and returned to the USA on Feb 04,2009.
When I checked in my luggages (10 boxes of a group of 5 people), I was informed that mine needed to be double-checked; then was ordered to come into the scanned- room. My friends and I went in and the officer there asked my friends to leave the room and signaled me for money (I thought this practice long gone). To avoid hassle with openning & repackaging those boxes (most of them food) I gave him $300,000VND; he looked at me and said that it's too little compared to my stuffs. I was so angry and ashamed with "my people" but of course I cannot denie his request. After my "payment" was made, every thing was going smoothly. I got out of that room speechless and kept on wondering myself "is that policy applied only to Vietnamese-Americans or to all people who pass by Tan Son Nhat and want to get out of the airport with a peaceful mind?" What an international airport it is! I don't think I will come back for another visit in the near future since I don't want to experience the same thing again. I need time to forget and regain my pride and respect for my people and country. Poor my Vietnamese and Vietnam!
Shamefully,
TT

Flyboys Restaurant
I would like to leave some comments on Flyboys restaurant at Mansfield Lahm (KMFD). I have always stopped in to KMFD on my travels to take a break, and I really enjoy the airport there. The Flyboys restaurant is without a doubt my favorite place to stop and eat. Heck I made a special trip one night and got weathered in. The employees in this place work really hard, and provide a great meal and great service. It is a family owned place and the owners and their children also help out. They are a riot and I always leave them a small tip as well. They are extremely friendly and whenever we walk in always ask "Where did you fly in from". It's kind of like the "Cheers" of flying. Anyway, I am sure, like other businesses, this place is also feeling the effects of our crappy economy, so I am asking all of you to help these guys out and fly in and have a great meal and conversation. I was there a week ago and heard that Flyboys is for sale. The owner is a military member from across the street at the guard base and his new position requires him to travel quite frequently, and is due to be deployed soon. It's very difficult to run a business from a distance, and I am sure even more difficult to run while still serving in the military. So, if anyone is interested in an already established business with the benefits of being on an airport, contact the manager Vickie or Kay at Flyboys and they can put you in contact with the owner. Thanks for your time. Be safe.
Main airport Nagorno-Karabakh
Stepanakert is the chief city in the breakaway republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is not currently under effective Azerbaijani government control, though it is still internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. There are plans to bring in a scheduled flight between this airport and Yerevan, Armenia.
re: A little information about Beja airport
This image gallery shows that the passenger terminal building was still in the early stages of construction in late November 2008:
Well maintained grass field
This is a nice E/W field adjacent to Illinois Route 15 between Belleville, IL and East St. Louis, IL. Very easy to sight on due to diagonal SW/NE 4-lane highway right next to it. St. Elizabeth's Hospital is very quickly reached from here.
