Airport comments for the World
Comments 2,595 to 2,644 of 16,037
Clubhouse and visitor parking
There are two gravel-paved visitor parking spots beside the fuel pumps, directly across from the clubhouse. The clubhouse has combo access (a code visiting pilots will have no trouble figuring out), a washroom, and vending machines. There's also wifi, but I couldn't find the password posted anywhere on the wall.
Expect to hear only French on the radio in the circuit.

Airport weather
While the airport doesn't have an official METAR, a member mentioned this in a problem report:
Gimli has an AWOS. It is at www.gimliairportawos.com
Garman pilot uses CXGH as a Metar for CYGM. It is the Environment Canada weather at the town of Gimli 1.7 nm from CYGM
Still listed as open
The Canada Flight Supplement up to 10 September 2020 still lists this airport as open, with a note warning that "Rwy 10/28 and 16/34 sfcs deteriorating." From various comments, it doesn't sound practical to use, but someone is still keeping it on the books.
"Peace for our time"
This was the aerodrome where PM Neville Chamberlain arrived back from Munich on 30 September 1938, stood outside the airplane, and waved the Anglo-German declaration for the photographers. The airfield was decommissioned in 1947 when the government chose nearby Heathrow as the site for London's major post-war airport.

The runway is closed and is divided by concrete blocks in 3 sections of ~300 meters, better avoid.
Good condition
This airstrip is good condition now, it has recently been cleaned and flattened

Great airport!
Super friendly staff and great gas prices
Expensive
$40 landing fee and $50 handling fee for a single engine bonanza. Highest fees Iβve ever seen
re: NDB HRD 524 to be dcommissioned
Reply to @KPC6NDB: removed -- thanks.

Great spot!
Landed here for the first time today, despite having flown around Houston for 20 years. Cozy spot. Nice drop-in over the trees onto 17. Will return!

Severe restrictions apply - do not fly in blindly!!
Great Facility
Well maintained grass strip. Well worth a visit.
Good runway conditions (summer 2020)
I flex into Alexandria just after 9:00 am today. It was my first visit in over 15 years. I checked NOTAMs beforehand for paradrops, and monitored the frequency from about 20 min to to confirm there wasn't any activity.
The grass runway is mowed nice and short, but the ground underneath is slightly unevenβnot dangerously so, but you'll do a bit of dune-buggy-style bouncing over the undulations on landing, even at minimum speed, so keep the yoke back in your lap after landing in a nosedragger.
It was firm and dry, though, and even without a headwind to help, my 160 hp PA-28 needed only a bit over half of the 2,200 ft for landing and for takeoff (after backtracking).

Nice flight on a Boeing Stearman PT-13 from 1940!
They have a Boeing Stearman PT-13 from 1940 in perfect conditions (as well as a YAKOVLEV YAK-11 from 1952), and you can have a test flight in them.
Wonderful experience, definitely worth a try!

Friendly airport
Iβve never seen so many people hanging out at a GA field!
Agree on the hard to find
I also could not easily find this airport until I was right over it
Smoothest asphalt around!
Landed here tonight just to see what this airport was all about. Name probably comes in part from the golf course just to the north of the field. Smoothest runway ever.
Welcome to CYPD
Celtic Air took over operating CYPD three years ago. Commercial aircraft ramp fees vary from 200.00 to 400.00, commercial landing fees top out based on MTOW at about 85.00 for a Challenger 350. Private aircraft can expect up to a 25.00 landing fee. Given that the airport exists solely on these fees, we hope everyone can manage with them. Call us at 902-625-2206 if you have any questions.
Great controller
Dealt with a storm popping up over the field right before takeoff, when we finally did depart the controllers really helped navigate the cells
Birds everywhere!
Lots of wildlife on the runway in July. Be prepared.
No idea why these comments are so negative
Great airport running a great training operation. Well maintained facilities and aircraft, great prices and great staff to back it all up.
Great stuff!
Gassed up here on the way from KTEX to Houston. Super folks!

due piste
Awesome!
Stopped here today (6/30/20) to ask Smiling Aviation to handle a ferry permit sign-off for me. They could not have been more fun or more professional. I learned a lot (as a pilot not a mechanic) watching them work. The runway is great, and the gas was cheap. Will be back!
Narrow runway!
the paved part of this runway was only 21' wide!
Old Chinle Airport
This is the heading for the old (closed) and private Chinle Airport (04AZ), not the newer Chinle Municipal (E91).
Ex-Airport
On the site of former Kona Village Resort Airport.
You are welcome sir!
The correct designation for the airport is as follows:
(Al Ain Airport Ain District, Shabwah Governorate)
Please amend your previous name
Old Landing Strip
Shows up on 1970s-era topo maps and old runway still visible on satellite, but very little info available. Any further information on this obscure landing strip would be appreciated.
No heliport at location.
PIma County Sheriff's Department airborne operations seem to have moved completely to KTUS -- sensible, PCSO HQ being basically sandwiched between the flight paths of KTUS and KDMA probably made this location untenable in the long run.
Closed
Since all the FAA databases seem to be 10-12 years behind on heliports, it's probably a good idea to leave this up here so people *know* it's closed, instead of removing this and leaving only the inaccurate, old information online on other sites as Google hits. Also, it was inaccurately plotted to begin with (protip: always cross-check owner addresses on heliport listings!).
Closed
Formerly Orlando Hyatt House, Orlando Sun Resort, Ramada Orlando Celebration Resort. This property is now closed and derelict.
re: Al Ain Airport Ain District, Shabwa Governorate, Yemen
Reply to @Abdullah_Almosaabi: Thank you. Is this actually a duplicate of https://ourairports.com/airports/VG5W/ ?
Bowie International?
Labeled as "Bowie International Airport" on Google Maps, but I can find no evidence this was ever actually called this other than as a local in joke.
Per Disney...
It *is* technically open, but only for emergency use.
Closed
Listed owner deceased 2000, no sign of aviation activity here in the last 20 years.
Bring me the head of John the Baptist!
This is actually the 1930s Salome CAA Intermediate Field, resurrected in the late 2010s as an emergency airfield for GA pilots! Neat to see what was effectively a forgotten archaeological site return to current use.
I thought this was closed...
But there's YouTube videos of activity here from 2015-2019. Pretty fascinating rebirth of a 1950s airstrip!
Miho Airfield
Set aside for emergency use by the Japanese government; no GA or commercial flights allowed.
