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!
Leading Edge Aviation
Greg Turner runs a first class operation at this airport.
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.
Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport - South Carolina's old
My home airport. 5200' runway with ILS and close to Spartanburg's downtown.
I LOVE ARUBA
ARUBA IS THE BEST
CNA8
A nice, small airport just outside of Ottawa. General aviation only.

Hi.
Good design, who make it?
re: This is in Syria not Turkey
You are completely wrong.
For sure it is Turkey.
You are copletely wrong
It is absolutely Turkey
re: Operation
According to the Wikipedia article, the airport is in operation, but it's not served by any airlines, so I imagine that the traffic is all general aviation.
Operation
When will it start operation?
H 4
Is this RJAF base abandoned?
Grassroots flying
This is a very friendly, relaxed place to fly. Fuel is available and all are welcome. Please be advised that you fly in and out at your own risk. Private airport.
Stopover.
Those who remember flying on CP or Canadian might recall the Brandon stopover. Generally was a stop, unload, wait 30 minutes then go type of thing. Was quite normal to stop here on the way from Calgary to Toronto.
Rough!
The captain informed us it would be bumpy on landing. Bumpy as in severe turbulence bumpy. We made it in fine. The airport is more of a shack. Shows you how they did things in the pre computer era. Imagine checking in hundreds of people using stickers and pens. This is in 2005!
EAA Chapter.
This airport is a main reason that I am a flier today. I went up on an EAA Young Eagles flight at the age of 16. There is a great EAA chapter on the field that is stuck in time. It is like walking into the 1940's going in there. Great people and great projects. A tribute to the romance of aviation. Definately worth a stop!
Great place for practice.
We use this airport quite a bit for practice work. No landing fees for single engine, easy MF to help with radio work. Very quiet area and is just about 3-5 minutes from Rockliffe. Nice long runway and a decent place to park and eat.
Lost Wages!
It's cheaper to rent a car at Alamo for the week then to taxi everywhere. Is a great airport to arrive at in the dark due to all of the wild casino lights.
Gatway to the North.
With all of the expansion going on north of this airport it's amazing how desolate it is. Still has a cute terminal and small town feel with capacity for real air traffic.
Windy City.
They don't call it the windy city for nothing! One of the few places you could land a Cessna in reverse ;)
Used to fly out of here on Time Air's Dash 7's and Dash 8's in the early 80's. Was a great time to fly.
I would have loved to do my initial training here but alas it's too far from Ottawa! :)
Clark Air Base
I was actually stationed at Clark Air base back in 1989-1991. I was just coming from Desert Shield/Desert Storm then evacuated a few days later to Subic which was hit harder during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. It was quite an experience. Perhaps someday soon I will visit my homeland.
naval family
my brother was stationed here for years and my daughter may be stopping off soon just remembering where it was at exactly
What do you mean - I damnwell left a comment
I have been here and loved the place - great little place to relax
Flyboys Cafe
We flew in there for breakfast on Saturday, the 17th of November. We got the pleasure to see a US Navy F-18 take off. It came into the guard base the night before. Also, the staff at Flyboys was ready for the Ohio State V.S. Michigan game. These guys really good breakfasts. Well worth the trip.
new fuelling system now includes jet a fuel
new fuelling system includes jet a and avgas available as of dec 1/07
Fun place to fly
I'm learning to fly at the ranch. Fun group of people to be around....I don't feel like just a number like I did at a more traditional local flight school
re: Needing more info
There's a little hamlet in Illinois called "Grubbs" -- is that what you mean? If so, it looks like the closest airport is Pinckneyville Du Quoin:
Home of Cessna
As the name implies, this is where 172s, 182s, etc. start out their lives. It's only 2 miles from the rival Beech Factory Field (KBEC).
Home of Beechcraft
As the airport name suggests, this is where Bonanzas, Barons, etc. take off from the first time. It's only 2 miles from Cessna's home field (KCEA).
Needing more info
I am writing from Patterson, NY Myt FBO is KDXR (Danbury Municipal, CT)
I have a friend who just moved to Grubbs and will be needing an aviation pick up around the holidays. I am having trouble locating map(s) to plan my flight.
Sincerely Yours,
Michael Jacobson

re: north
It's just a bit further south than Alert (CYLT), which is the most northerly permanent airport in the world.

family
My ancestor was whom this airport was named. I am proud.
I love wake island
I would move to wake island right now and never leave!!!
I love the airport,hope to see it in real life someday.
re: EWB Restaurant
I read on a mailing list that a pilot visited the airport today (2007-11-11) and found that the restaurant has been closed permanently.
re: Clear US Customs here going to the USA
I agree with Tony. It's a very nice downtown, good for walking around, with one street closed 5 or 6 blocks for pedestrians only (packed with people on a chilly Sunday afternoon) and the mountains or lake in the background almost any direction you look. Lots of big-name shops for my adolescent kids and restaurants for everyone, and an easy same-day shopping trip from Ottawa or Montreal. It's about a 15-minute drive from the airport into downtown.
Atlantic Aviation parking
At Atlantic Aviation (nice FBO) during November 2007, there was no parking, ramp, or service fee during the day for a piston single, and only $10/night for a tie-down. I didn't ask if the first night was waived with a fillup, since we weren't staying overnight. Gas was just over $5/gallon, including tax, and that was the only fee way paid for a same-day visit. Customs is a very short taxi from the Atlantic apron, just on the other side of the threshold of runway 01.
Car rental - main terminal is much cheapter than FBO
When we visited on 11 November 2007, renting a small car from Enterprise through the Atlantic Aviation FBO cost about $34/day + tax. Renting the same car through Enterprise in the main terminal cost about $19/day + tax. Since we were making a fast day trip with my whole family, I figured that the extra convenience was worth $15 this time, but the main terminal is only a short walk (and would be worth it for a multi-day rental).
dateland airfield
Have bought property near the airfield, Hope there be more information about it.
Hoo!
Cochrane es uno de los pueblos mas hermosos que conozco y su aeropuerto me dejo muchos recuerdos!
