Unique.
Enjoyed the long walk to the waiting aircraft from the boarding gate passing through a garden. Not seen it on any other airport I have been.
Great!
Although my time in Ecuador wasn’t that great, this airport became my favourite during my trip in South America. Uncomplicated, clean, spacious, plenty of seating areas with direct view of the runway.
re: VOR/DME 34 approach to be canceled
Thanks for your work creating this web site. I love it and have told all the other local pilots about it.

Rose Aviation 1973-1977
Hello anyone that worked for Rose from '73 to '77. My name is John Dickson and I, like othersm stumbled across this looking for info on Rex Rose for a good friend. I owe my entire airline career to advancements and good fortune I was able to enjoy working for Jean Rose and her Chief Pilot at the time, Art Olsen. If it wasn't for them and their trust in the young 20 year old I was at the time, I'm not sure where I would be. They both entrusted in me the position of flight instructor, charter pilot, and Telephone Patrol Pilot for PT&T from '74 to '77. I worked with some great people - Ray Patinelli, Gene Fitzpatrick, Joe Harrington, Rob Keenan, Greg Madden, Colby Bridget, Tom Rustemyer, George Chuili, Steve Toon, and dispatcher Nikki Caldwell. I remember very well Linda who has checked on with this blog - and would love to catch up on how Art Olsen lived the rest of his life. I have a great story about Rex Rose (actually two) that I would love to share for anyone who would like to listen. Just let me know. I'll keep any eye out. Anyone out there from that era?

Reply to @AraBoqueron: does the strip have an aerodrome code? Trying to find it in the CFS. Have you used the strip?

Great airport
Super fun to fly in MSFS. Would be cool to go there IRL.
Very Disappointing !!
We stopped at this airport for fuel BUT they just received a delivery of fuel and "had to settle" for 1.5 hours before being dispensed.
Unfortunate landing that could have been avoided if the FBO responded to our unicom calls as we approached the airport. There were no responses as we called out our positions. They did not communicate the fuel issue until we taxied to the fuel farm. Pretty sad lack of communication.

Very nice airport for a quick turn fuel stop
Very nice overnight fuel stop
Rusty was very helpful and made our late arrival very easy

I Met a fellow lifeline pilot, Tad who flew my passengers the remainder of their trip from Omaha NE to Terra Haute IN. Jeff and Shawna were a great couple to have along.
Enquiry
Good afternoon.
I'm hoping that someone canhelp me with some information about this airfield.
I am looking at moving over to this area and would be bringing my Quik-R Flexwing with me and would be interrested in this location.
Do you have any information, is this a private airfield? is this a flying club? could I be resident at this airfield? is there hangarage?
I would appreciate any information you may have as I intend to visit within the next few weeks.
Thank you.
Carl.

I landed here on June 5, 1990 and spend the night. I was on a ferry flight from KICT to EBKT in a C172, on the leg KBGR-CYYR when I iced up about 30 nm north of the YEO beacon in a snow storm, and decided to make a 180 back to the strip. I woke up the next day to a foot of snow. A Coastguard Labrador picked me up later that morning and dropped me off in Wabush. Returned a week later with a beaver on floats, to fly the airplane out again.

re: Seaplane base
The seaplane base symbol is located on the water runway!
re: Almost a movie star!
Reply to @32Aret: According to the Wikipedia page for the film, the "Lincoln Airport" they referenced was a fictional airport in based in Chicago, not Lincoln, Nebraska.

Flew into Koumra in a Shorts SC7, Reg LX-UGO on Oct 2 1990. Just a quick stop just to check out the airport before continuing to Moundou, FTTD for some cold GALA. This was in conjonction with the locust control. I remember very well following the dirt road branching off the main road and leading to the threshold of 04.
Incorrect ident
The ident for this airport should be SPJC, not SPIM. Unfortunately the ident can not be edited by my own, hence leaving this comment here hoping someone with the edit privileges follows-up.
re: Main airport Nagorno-Karabakh
Reply to @david:
Hi David,
> Stepanakert is the chief city in the breakaway republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is not currently under effective Azerbaijani government control, though it is still internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan
This is an outdated information. The city's official name is Khankendi. It is currently under effective control of Azerbaijani government. The international recognition has not changed - it was and still is being recognized as part of Azerbaijan by international community.

Typical Microlight Airfield
Typically a microlight strip, that has a North/South Astroturf runway for the winter months and when the ground is suitable a grass one. On a good weather day you can expect fixed and flex wing Microlights, plus paramotors and sometimes powered gliders.
There’s facilities on site but no fuel.

New Home of BEARHAWK AIRCRAFT Company
Nice little airport do not currently have Self-serve fuel but are making improvements. There was a gentleman on field tending an Ag plane and he brought the fuel truck out to top us off. They have recently installed an AWOS system that will go online shortly.
My Wife and I flew down here to meet with Virgil Irwin and his wife who recently purchased the Bearhawk Aircraft Company. They gave us a tour of his facility and then we went for a demo flight in the Bearhawk 5 Airplane.
My Home Airport
Living approximately 9 miles South of PDX for around 36 years I've seen and heard a few planes departing or arriving PDX. I've been interested in aviation since the time I was a toddler. Thanks to those that are providing this site!
Forgotten airport
This airport already opened a few years ago and was marked on google map, so I'm here to fill in the blank.

As of 2021, there are no longer any scheduled services at the airport after Yemenia suspended all routes in 2015 due to the ongoing regional conflict.[1] Previously, the airline served a handful of domestic and international destinations.

Great guy at the desk. Didn’t seem to mind at all that we came in a half hr before closing.
