Airport comments for the World
Comments 301 to 350 of 15,493
No airport. Site owned by ASA
I have flown this area a fair bit and I can confirm that there is no airport, airstrip, or helipad but rather just a site owned by Airservices Australia using it for meteorological studies and as a sub station. To confirm the comment βLooks Like an NDB to me!β, I believe it was used as an NDB for all local aircraft back in the 70s on approach to YSSY (Sydney Airport).
Power lines very close to the pad
There is a single power line on the south edge of the pad. Although the line is highlighted with marker balls, landing and taking off from the pad may be difficult especially in a 412 or bigger as the rotor length may surpass the line. This is more of a day time only helipad ideal for smaller helicopters such as a squirrel or 407.

It would be cool if San Miguel had an airport
Busy military training field
Clean and nice FBO (Freeman) with a little restaurant and store. Getting an Uber is time consuming and the pattern is filled with Air Force trainees. The short base pattern to a parallel runway got me a little nervous when I saw a plane coming right at me before he turned to 8L. But overall a decent experience. Fuel cost is reasonable.
Nice airport
FBO was open Operator was friendly and helpful. Inexpensive fuel.
Nice Facility with Courtesy Car
Nice unmanned FBO with showers if needed and a Courtesy Car.

Do not confuse with Smiths Falls Airport (CYSH)
The main airport for Smiths Falls is CYSH, about 8 nm to the northeast. This is a private grass strip that is visible in the satellite imagery and included on OpenStreetMap (no other information available).
add IATA code
IATA code for LHPR is QGY, see also wikipedia.
HTH
IATA identifier
The IATA identifier for this airport is GHV, not BRV as requested earlier.
Fire damage
Facilities damaged in wildfires during spring 2023.
WHOOPS
Sorry, but I messed up.
Missing from website.
I had to add this in due to the fact itβs not on le website, also for some reason the ICAO and IATA codes were not working, so I had to do some random words. (ICAO : CYSR / IATA : YSR)
9NC0 is in Charlotte, though, right?
I think the correct designation for Raleigh East is W17, at least per flightaware, airportguide, and airnav.
Those 3 sites also show 9NC0 as being in Charlotte.

re: Re: Placename Translation
Reply to @animebirder: I totally disagree, some other places airports in the same country have their aiports names translated and not transliterated like: Port Said, in the local accent people pronounce the name as "porsaid" and another airport western cairo ( It is name is "Sphinx Airport" not "Abu El Hol Airport" - the first name is popular -), so, translation - when it is possible - is better than transliteration.
re: Upgrade
Reply to @pilotfan21: all of the above is done!
Infamy
Once used for drug smuggling by the so-called "Columbus Air Force".

Former N/S farm airstrip ...
Now long since overshadowed by the massive Michael Heizer art installation, "City", which is many times larger than this airstrip ever was.

Reply to @JitendraPS: Wrong Alexandria, that's Borg El Arab International Airport serving Alexandria, Egypt, and this is Alexandria Airport which is a small rural airport serving Alexandria, Indiana, USA. Please be aware there are many localities in the world with duplicated names.

re: Location not correct
Reply to @phicong: Moved. Thanks for the report.
Location not correct
The actual field is slightly to the northeast on the other side of the road.
re: Pixelated -- military stuff
Reply to @david: No longer an issue now that we've moved to Leaflet and ESRI satellite imagery.
Airline service
I notice that Hanscom has airline service now -- great alternative to (overcrowded) KBOS. I've updated the record.
Amazing scenery
The views coming into this airport are incredible!

New Westpac Rescue Base
π Mon, 19 Jun 2023
β @RSCU521 at Lake Macquarie Airport, Australia
Just noticed that the new Westpac Rescue Helicopter base at Aeropelican is not labeled on any map yet. Just letting everyone know this is where Westpacβs new βBelmontβ base is located. Westpac is going to be using the Broadmeadow facility as a heavy maintenance facility for all of the five AW139 aircraft.
