Campo di volo Pian Mune'
microlight site for delta motor and para'
Unusual
This is a bit of a queer aerodrome: first and most of all it serves the helicopters of the Meravo company; but it also has a grass runway for the exclusive use of 4 SEP planes of a local aeroclub.
DFW
I read all the moaning , it's a pity JFK didn't land here instead of "Love Field"
San Genesio airfield

Failed info

Please check you information.
Therebis one but in Mato Grosso state
re: Bankstown
Appears to be true, every example of a student from Bankstown I have encountered was terrifying. They were woefully inept, remarkably low IQ, and had barely a grasp of the English language. All of them were foreigners too. Makes me wonder if you guys have any Australians left down there. I'm sure that Karen's and Daren's virtue signalling on Facebook for social good boy points about how happy they are with the foreign food are having a field day though.
re: Where else to go and practice/learn how to fly???
Your English language skills are so poor it terrifies me that you're operating an aircraft in Australia. This is a shameful display of the low bar of the CAA these days.
Merry Christmas

More aviation history about to be "redeveleoped"
This airport closed in November 2022 and is slated to be turned into a residential development. What a waste.
AIRFIELD FOR SALE
Hi.
Does anyone know if this or any other airfield within this region is for sale?
I'm looking at re-locating to this area early next year, I'm NPPL qualified and would like to bring my Flex wing over.

re: A Great Addition To Western Leyte Air Commuters
While devastated by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda and a subsequent 2017 earthquake, Ormoc Airport has since been rebuilt, with a new passenger terminal opened in 2019.
re: Appears closed
Reply to @david: so I did mark it as "closed"
(CLOSED/ABANDONED) AIRSTRIP.
This airstrip was closed in the 1980s.
NEW GRASS LANDING STRIP
In early November 2023, a north-south landing strip with markers on both sides, was observed south of Herb's Plaza, along Tannery Road.
Offshore oddball
Has a Dutch ICAO code, but is in the Belgian EEZ.
Previous note applies to NL-0041
See subject line. This airfield is the currently active field and now has an ICAO code.
HUGE AIRPORT
Refueled here before going to Mexico
Excellent FBO
Good fuel prices
Very Nice FBO
I would use this airport for a stopover again
re: Closing all operations
As of 2023, the airfield is still visible, but largely covered by solar panels. That would be a very expensive emergency landing now.

UAV and helicopter base
Nice grass strip that's not used too much.
Took my brother and his wife out to get a tacoma that he had purchased. Chad was great and even cam out and marshaled me in to his back yard. The truck happed to be for sale at his next door neighbor.
Picked up My first Lifeline pilot passengers.
Didn't see much of it as I was meeting another pilot from Rochester, MN to fly second leg to Lamar, Mo
Future Chennault Field
This is the original 1970s crop dusting airport whose footprint would later be reused as the basis for 2020s Chennault Field.
re: It is in Kanpur
it is on the outskirts of Kanpur city and is used as an educational facility for students of IIT Kanpur and a research and development facility for some industrial collaborations
Closed effective Nov 30, 2023
This airport will finally be closing at the end of November. See AIC 16/23 for more information.
re: Reported as (temporarily) closed
Reply to @david: Reopened in 2018 but only for military use, which seems to remain the case in 2023.
As of 2023
The cleared area at the south end of the runway trace is clearly a soccer field.
Active 1922-1963
Namesake of the "Aerodrom" area, this first airport for Skopje was in use from 1922 until the day of the Skopje earthquake, 26 Jul 1963, when it and 80% of the city of Skopje were destroyed.
Been there many times by foot .
The green X is on the wrong side of the river . If you look straight north of it you will see it .
The biggest moose ever shot in Alberta was shot on this air strip .
Claims to fame (infamy?)
Site of the 1988 Ramstein airshow disaster which killed 72 spectators, 3 pilots, and injured hundreds more people. This disaster was in turn the namesake of the heavy metal band Rammstein.
re: add IATA code
Reply to @espinielli: negative. QGY is not assigned by IATA, cfr their own site

re: Appears closed
Reply to @david: and white closed-runway Xs!
Repurposed
Currently "Modell Fesselflug Anlage Hard" (tethered model aircraft field)
re: To be reopened by 2023
Reply to @animebirder: The new airport will be constructed on the sit of former Mifoit Air Base.
Conflict Zone
Caution advised when operating in and out of this airport.
re: Uninhabited island
Reply to @david: The complication here is that listing this as "France" defaults it to being in Europe, which geographically, it absolutely clearly isn't! Unfortunately, unlike every other French possession, it lacks its own jurisdictional codes ... for now.
Heliport oddity!
Evidently a heliport aboard a stationary boat (the Commandant Fourcault) which has an ICAO code?!?
Temporary heliport
In use primarily for the World Economic Forum.
Active air force base...
... but inactive aviation facilities.
Repurposed duplicate heading
Repurposed duplicate to cover a different aviation facility in central Texas.
Heath canyon
I flew in here in about 1994 doing a CAP border recce. I have to say it was the scariest thing I'd ever been a part of in civil aviation. The PIC "Dave" had been there multiple times before. The brush along the sides of the runway was so high that a low wing plane would not have been able to land there. They said it was 30 feet wide,but it was more like 10-15 feet wide. We landed to the NW, uphill. After landing we taxied back and shut down. The treat about this place was that the owner had a one table "restaurant" at the bottom. He came out and fixed us lunch.The owner apparently used to work as a geologist right across the border.
The takeoff was rather interesting. It took almost full power to taxi up to the top of the hill. We prepped for a SE departure, Short Field flaps (C-172/180hp) held the brakes, full power. The upper portion of the runway (RY11 I think) was flat, with what seemed like a precipitous drop off after about 500'. The C172 basically just flew off the edge and kept flying. A sharp left to stay inside US airspace and we were off!
I never went back, but I will also never forget it. All the rest of the airports we landed at that trip were easy in comparison.
Im sorry to see it closed, now with 4000 more hours than I had then (150 hours then) I'd definitely try it again.The food was pretty good too.
re: 1999 Kosovo peace agreement signed here
Reply to @david: It's pretty rough-looking, but the airfield is still in use by rugged GA aircraft.
Aviation Museum
While still an active air base, this is also home to Kbely Aviation Museum, one of the largest of its kind in the world, featuring hundreds of airframes ranging from WWI to the present day, many one-of-a-kind or rare. Many of the outdoor airframes are readily visible from this website by zooming in on the north side of the airfield complex on satellite view.
(no subject)
Built a home and hangar on the runway 12 years ago.
Active aviation community. Fun and friendly place to live
