re: frg
Reply to @sr22pilot1: Hi, just moved to NYC, I'm a commercial rated pilot needing to get back into it after years of inactivity. Looking for a school an glad for any kind of recommendation. Was flying 172s and small Pipers. Looking to get a multi endorsement and get serious about IFR currency.
Great Airfield
Back in 2003 I was based here, I used to fly in at night using portable lights! Looking back it was terrifying but I was used to it. Grumpy but nice farmer, I hope he's well. JD
Flew in early to beat the rush.
Super nice. I called a day or two ahead and Monica saved us a car. the lineguys were on top of their game and had us chocked and strapped down almost before we were out. My son and I went to see the UP 4014 Big Boy steam engine.

AERODROME CONVIVIAL ET COMPLET EN MATIERE AERONAUTIQUE
Activity status?
A most interesting addition! But I see no runways, should we not mention the field as "closed"?
BAD
This is BAD
Is there a runway?
I do not see a runway, but it could just be my eyes.

I want to go there.
Shortest Commercial Runway
Juancho Y. Irausquin International Airport has a 400 metre runway! It is considered the shortest commercial runway in the world and has been updated at least thrice.
A great recreational airfield!
My first flight here was nothing short of amazing. Mr. Swank was very hospitable and it's only one of three Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) airports in Ohio!
Rough asphalt
It was not too terrible, but the asphalt was a bit rough, more than what I expected for "fair condition". Otherwise, it's a neat airport to fly into.
Great airfield
Landing tax June 2023: 9€ - Petrol 91: 2.87€/L
Good welcome, benches for eating under the trees (pizzeria present but not open on the day we visited), friendly staff.

Good alternative to CYQB, less expensive to land and to park.
Nice place for camping or lodging
The runway is in good shape, long and wide enough (5411 x 100). Some facilitys on site, lodging availlable in summer, camping also possible.
It is a PPR, so call in advance.
Radio Controlled Model Aircraft only airfield.
This airfield is home to the Sydney Radio Control Society airfield, which I think is FANTASTIC; something I could do when I'm no longer flying recreationally!
I looks like the area would be a good landing site in an emergency! I'll fly over it one day and have a look.

re: Home of the Prince Edward Flying Club
Reply to @david: Unfortunately, after 71 years of operation at the Picton Airport, the lease between the new owners and the Prince Edward Flying Club was not renewed. The Club was required to vacate the clubhouse and hangar by the end of June 2024. The new owners of the airport have long-term plans that include parks, housing, and further business and event-hosting development; the airport is not included in those long-term plans. By the end of 2024, it is expected that the airport will be permanently closed with the 3 runways to be removed.
Nice well kept airport
I met a fellow pilot to continue Hanna’s journey home from treatment on Lifeline mission.
Nice little airport
Very cool little grass strip, dropped in here one day with the C172. It's surrounded on all sides by trees so it makes for a pretty fun approach. The surface was fairly smooth and is fairly well maintained by the town of Boyle, definitely recommend stopping by.
(no subject)
Took the C172 up here and did a couple low passes. Looks like this strip sees little, to no use at all. There are what look like small poplars growing on either side of the landing area, leaving just a small, narrow path to land on(unless you want to mow down some shrubs with your prop). The grass didn't look too tall. Didn't actually touch down so I'm unsure of the surface condition, but didn't look to be too bad other than all of the shrubs.
Go somewhere else
Tried to stop in for the fly in breakfast and was told they only make enough food for members and next time to let them know in advance. Went elsewhere for breakfast. This isn’t a flying club it’s just a social club for crusty old dudes. The terminal isn’t much better. Want to feel like you are burdening someone? Try to use the terminal facilities, or buy fuel.
Brockville Airport. Where general aviation goes to die.
re: Nice.
Reply to @wedergarten: your some sadic dude DDD
Still an aviation facility
Heliports count!
Missing NOTAM updation for VEIM (Imphal Airport)
Since long NOTAM updation for VEIM (Imphal Airport) is found to be missing. It would be very appropriate to provide updated NOTAMs in your steam website.

Is this a duplicate of SCGL? What is the proper one?
Russian Wikipedia URL
This airport doesn't have any English sources nor an English Wikipedia page. The Russian Wikipedia page is at ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE_(%D0%B0%D1%8D%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%82) and has more info
Is this actually still open?
It's still listed on AirNav, but there's a golf practice and training facility that's basically cut it in half.
Open 1976-2014
It is very weird to make DoorDash deliveries in a samey, bland neighborhood that used to be a thriving grass airfield.
Long gone but ...
There are still visibility markers up on the power lines along Crystal Falls Parkway aligned with the south approach of this former grass strip in 2024!
Aggieland's Best
If you're gonna get a "hundred dollar burger", hard to beat Gate 12 Bar and Grill, which has unobstructed window seating for planespotters. Last time I was here (before COVID), the waitstaff showed me their photos of an L-39 that popped through here -- USAF and USN military trainers (T-6, T-38, T-44, T-45) are a very common sight here and much easier to see and photograph than in Austin.
EGSW
🔗 Thu, 24 Oct 2024
— @mestervig at Newmarket Heath Airfield, United Kingdom
By far the most-used airstrip on the heath is the July Course, which is permanently available and marked. This is generally where EGSW locates to. There is another strip, the Rowley Mile strip, which is a rectangular area a few hundred metres NE of the July course. This is marked with temporary markers and is only available on race days. I used to set a record flying from one to the other. 42 seconds was my best effort from brakes off to brakes on. ;)
