Fees and alternative airport

I don't remember all the fees and fuel prices from my visit in the summer of 2006 -- they weren't onerous, but they were enough to annoy. On the other hand, it's a well-maintained, all-weather airport with easy access into the town of GaspΓ© as well as the Gaspesie region. For a less expensive alternative, there's Du Rocher-PercΓ© (Pabok), which is slightly closer to the tourist town of PercΓ©:

Closer to Chandler

This airport is actually closer to Chandler (a much larger community) than to PercΓ©. It's a small rural strip that's not always attended, but doesn't have the landing fees, etc., of the larger GaspΓ© airport to the north:

re: Long Runways

Hi Tony

Did you work with Craftsmen Electrics in Sydney in 1989 as i think i might know you. I am across from Scotland visiting my brothers in Newcastle (Don) and Sydney (Jim). If you are who I think you are it would be great to catch up.

Treviso-Venice Airport

Finally one quiet, dissent and possitive airport in Europe. Espresso is just amazing. Staff busy but smiling. Weather always sunny even when is raining. Thank you Treviso we will come again, indeed.

re: Landing fees

The airport authority is collecting the landing fee, while Nav Canada is/will be collecting the usage fee.

re: Landing fees

If you're paying a fee for landing, isn't it pretty much a given that you're also going to take off? So why don't they just increase the landing fee rather than imposing a takeoff fee as well?

New Airport

I just landend on this quite new airport (Dec. 16, 2007). Only LAN and the less known Sky Airline operate flights to CPO (official three-letter-code). The airport is small and efficient. No airbridges.

The old airport - known as Copiapo/Chamonte was about 30 miles to the East, closer to Copiapo. If you search for CPO in Google Earth, you can still see the old airport.

No photo or map

Unfortunately, Google Maps cannot display a location right on the poles, so (as of 2007-12-17) there's no map or satellite picture available for the South Pole Station.

Hodges Airpark

They have a pilots breakfast every third saturday. Good Crowd and conversation. Many times those with planes will head up to Brair Patch for a Sport Plane Club Meeting later that day.

Busy airport - be on your toes here.

PDK is a busy G-A airport. Be on your toes if you're a low time pilot 'cause there's a lot of traffic here.

Flyboys Cafe

We took the family on a flight to eat at Flyboys Cafe. This is a great find. We arrived about 5:30 p.m., and the staff was eager to serve us. The place is very clean, and the staff is very friendly. Our server, Kay, provided exceptional service to us. The food was great. Their as they say, "soon to be famous" Flyboy Burger is the best meal I have had in a long time. By the way, you have to try their dessert called Bananas Foster. It is tops. Great place, and we all highly recommend it to all!

Re: Dunolly

I have my doubts about several of the airports that came from that particular user. I've got 529 Australian airports from him, so I'm reluctant to delete them all, but I'm also reluctant to verify them all.

re: Dunolly airstrip

I agree -- I can find no evidence anywhere that this airport exists. It came in some user-supplied data from navaid.com, but I'll probably delete it unless someone has a better source.

Dunolly airstrip

So where is it? The coordinates seem to put me into a hillside of trees.

I can't seem to locate the airstrip in the surrounding area even though Google Earth is high definition.

Bunbury Aero Club

On arrival at the Bunbury Airport, be sure to call into the newly renovated Aero Club building. We are open 7 days a week and our pilot shop sells maps and charts. Come and say hi and have a drink on the deck for a great view of the strip!

Fine facility at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains

5000' runway, nice approaches, and super nice people. Lest I forget, there's also the 57A cafe next to the terminal. It's not haute cuisine but it is convenient and the pretty good.

Middle of flippin nowhere

I flew Ryanair out of this airport once. You have to take a bus from Frankfurt to get here -- it's about a two-hour ride -- and it leaves at 5am. I slept on a bench in the train station. Good times.

Big bad Metro isn't so "bad" anymore!

For years Metro Airport was the poster boy for dark and dank terminals. It was a truly disgusting airport.

Today, it is state-of-the-art in every way. I love flying through here.
