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?

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.

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!
que recuerdos
AhΓ hice mi primer viaje en aviΓ³n!
!!
me encanta ese aeropuerto!
Well maintained, but complex and not esp user friendly for C
MMU has come a long way in twenty years. Today, seeing a Cessna take off is an odd event...usually preceeded by five or six Citations, a Lear, and a few helicopters. Don't let this deter you, the ATC staff are very friendly and helpful and the airport is very convienent.
Crosswind training a must
Wind is almost never down the runway, but with 6000ft of asphalt you have plenty of time to plant the wheels. Not much up here, but super easy to find. Just look for the area of forest that looks like its been hit my a nuclear bomb. Careful, ILS is installed and jetsetters sometimes don't announce. Nothing like a Citation screaming in as you turn final...
Quiet, simple, and easy to find
Woodbine is a nice airport if you'd like cheap fuel and need an airport closer to the northern end of cape may county. Parking is 5 dollars overnight on the grass. Runways are in decent shape, just watch out for banner towing in the summer...they are crazy crazy people.
Soft, short, and rough
Certainly not the most well maintained grass strip in NJ, but very accessible for training. Approaches from the south very tough with huge pine trees on the approach end. Runway undulates badly, so don't feel bad if you float every 3 seconds while bouncing down the turf. Easy to find though...grass very worn.
Impressive...and quite short
Like the other comment, make sure you can stop a plane in less than 1500 ft. The water on both ends will stop your plane for you if you can not... Beautiful airport, esp in the fall. Don't pass this stop up
GO HERE, you'll regret it if you pass it by
Ok, if you're rusty on your short-field, crosswind, uphill landing techniques...take a long a flight instructor. But perched atop a taxiway about 500 ft from the runway is the best cafe/restaurant in the NY Metro area. Airport can be hard to find amongst the farms and hills, but overall is a great place for food. Cafe is open Thurs-Sun 7am-3:30pm. Don't sound like an idiot on the radio....when the cafe is open they broadcast the unicom in there!
Work and fly from here
CDW is indeed tough to spot especially when MMU is only 5 miles away and practically visible from space. The AFD also gives you a super long list of rules and noise abatement procedures that often scare new pilots away. Just ignore them. The airport is surrounded by industrial parks and a golf course. And who cares about golfers right? Runway 9/27 recently renamed 10/28. Lighting at night could be stronger...and don't feel bad when a controller who sounds like a man turns out to be the scariest woman alive...other than that...GREAT AIRPORT.
Nice, but not much there
Newton is a nice little strip, well maintained...and frankly, boring as all heck. You'll miss this spot if you don't look down as it's nestled in thick trees. Also, don't go off the northern approach end...there's a nice lake to cushion any further taxiing you intend to do. Other than that, great spot to practice or take a break from a long trip. No lights, and no fuel.
Touch and Go
Just did a touch and go on a x-country from Buttonville. After reading these comments I wish I stayed and checked out the terminal. Maybe next time.
Sunday afternoon, was pretty busy. 3 or 4 people doing their thing in the circuit.
re: jFK rules!
why?
jFK rules!
JFK rules!
Summary
Private strip belonging to 3 brothers who operate a family farm. Usually groomed, with occasional go-kart and 4-wheeler traffic.

β Anonymous Flyer at Winchester Airport, Canada
A nice, small airport just outside of Ottawa. General aviation only.
