Double entry, mr admin pls remove
Don't see an airport here
Unless that straight stretch of road doubles as a landing strip, I suspect that the source for this airport (Great Circle Mapper) just used the lat/lon of the village. Marking as closed until we have more information.
PoE?!
Is it open?!, and is it considered a point of entry if I'm flying to Egypt?!

Years ago we were there and made a fligt with an Antonov A2. Now we want to land here in summertime with our own Tecnam P92 light.

First visit
There is no airport at this location
Having just returned from Limon on a visit that walked by this location I can confidently state that there is no airport at the marked location. So far as I know there is no airport anywhere in Limon.
Locals told me that there is a private landing strip some miles away, or at least there used to be, but I don't know exactly where nor whether it is still there.
worst airport ever
International airport? Shame on you!
No watch on any wall, not one display announcing departures or arrivals. The security workers had the worst mood. Terrible.
We went to different places in India and nowhere found toilets this bad. Unbelievable.
I will never use this airport again and will tell others about this.
I don't understand how it is even possible to work such an airport.
Duty Free contact details
Please can someone help with the tel no. of the duty free shop at Bangoka and Lumbumbashi Airports?
AAA
the worst airport I ve ever seen
Reply about Grumpy bloke
Dropped in there on the way to PLC to top up with Avgas.
Bloke getting on a bit helped me top up and I asked if he was "Grumpy"
He laughed and I think that he was quietly taken with it as I explained that I saw this on Our Airports when looking at comments about places to stop on the en route.
Great bloke, friendly and full of information and turns out that he owns the Goolwa aerodrome.
Highly recommend as a staging stop as have now called into both Goolwa and Aldinga and would put Goolwa on top of the list.
Avgas is a bit cheaper, less circuit congestion, less confusion in the circuit as no multiple runways in use.
In my view, a lot safer than flying into Aldinga.
Also some interesting machines there.
Thank you Mr Grumpy.
I agree
The writer accusing the CFI at Aldinga of being abusive is spot on.This is not the first time as he is well known for his attitude???????against Australian Aviators.
He has also verbally abused others for executing a go around.
Makes one wonder when they are so hell bent on telling everyone how safe they are and how they promote safety.
But, just remember that they can do as they please but that is not applicable to others.
Do not do as we do but do as we say.
Cripes, heard this morning that they charge $290.00 for a 20 min flight in the Tiger Moth. Phew.
Seems that the stories about the ching ching of the cash register are true.
One must remember that profit is not wrong but greed is terrible.

My camera was stolen after my bag was checked in
I had 450 pictures of my Africa trip in the camera and I put it in my backpack and unbelievably it was gone when the backpack was returned. Can not believe it but it actually happened. Need to monitor who is handling the luggage when it is out of site.
All my mΓ©moires gone........ So much for good people of Zimbabwe.

Another bad review
I had the unfortunate experience of meeting the owner and CFI of Adelaide Biplanes today. He verbally abused me for conducting an overshoot(circuit into a go-around) at a nearby ALA en-route to Aldinga. What on earth is wrong with an overshoot I do not know, but he accused me of a 'beat-up', a totally false and unsubstantiated accusation. He threatened "I'll report you to the ATSB before you can make it back to Parafield". I am lost for words.
Upon some research I came across this thread, and, oh my, it all makes sense. I do have to agree with the comments; it's all happy days as long as long as you're diving into your wallet, until you have a run-in with this guy. Seems like their EPA donation I've been contributing to for a long time is one big lie also. I also agree that their practice of operating on several runways is dangerous.
I've enjoyed going to Aldinga for a long time. I'm a very easy going chap and normally wouldn't let this hold me back, but the consistent comments regarding unfair/false reports to CASA is extremely off-putting.

WHICH AIRLINES FLY INTO HOBBY
Mainly for Rio Tinto?
This airport appears to serve mainly Rio Tinto's Simandou iron ore project; at least, it was Rio Tinto who funded the development of its instrument approaches.

Another one
For a Pom who comes to Australia, buys the flying School at Aldinga, calls it Adelaide Biplanes and tells us that Australians have a bad flying culture and that they are going to change it, they are doing really well.
I mean, they must be on first term names with their insurance company as I saw another Sports Star with a mangled prop and damaged on a trailer down south near Goolwa which comes from Aldinga.
So how many is that now that they have stuffed up.
Taxied a Tiger Moth into a PARKED aircraft, stood the super cub on its nose, stalled a Lighting into the ground and how ever many more.
]Not a bad record for someone who says that we in Australia have a bad flying culture and then acts as the industry police and runs to CASA for everything that they think is wrong.
And abuses those who they PERCEIVE doing something wrong as self appointed industry police.
And by the way, the only time that you are treated nicely there is if you put your hand in your pocket and they can hear the Ching Ching of the cash register. Otherwise have no time for one.
People who live in glass houses should never throw stones. Eh.
No wonder there are now many who will not fly in there as who knows what will happen next.
Abused, reported to CASA, prang and treated rudely.
Plus the safest airfield in Australia. Pigs.
Remember that this is all in my opinion only derived from personal experience and observations and what I have witnessed first hand and told and verified by others.
Not a nice place and needs to get the like of the previous operators back theter to return it to the safe friendly place it used to be with the camaraderie that they have destroyed.
Spotting solution
if you want to do some planespotting i suggest you first go to the fish market the walk up the beach until you reach the fence don't worry about security lots of people go there just get you camera and poke it through the lens problem solved.
Climbed Mt Wilhelm in 1969
Previous comment by Geoff Robertson, accompanied on the climb by Judith Whalley who has been Judith Robertson since 1970.
Climbed Mt Wilhelm in 1969
Flew in from Goroka in Cessna - bigger than 172 as there were four of us plus the pilot. The strip was slightly uphill and had drainage strips like chevrons right up the strip, making a very exciting and bumpy landing. I was in the RAAF 38Sqn deployment in Goroka with one Caribou supporting the Australian Army Survey Corps doing a massive mapping program of the highlands. All that was at Keglsugl then was a Patrol Officer's quarters and a few native huts. Took us 24 hours up to Mt Wilhelm and back. Great weather - rained when we camped near the summit and the rain turned to ice as it ran off the tent. I got hypoxia and didn't get right to the top, which the others did in the dark!!
Take off from Keglsugl was a blast. The Cessna shook and bounced as we headed for the end, then we were airborne over a valley a thousand feet below. You don't fly in PNG with a weak heart.
Confusing situation...
This is the western part of the former RAF base, including the North-South runway. It is operated by the Ouse Gliding Club. The Eastern part is operated separately by the "York Flying Club".
Re: Who Updates This Site?
Please note the following two statements that can be found on the Flight Status page.
"Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use."
"Notice: Some flights may be not be listed, especially for smaller airports outside North America and Europe."
You should probably check the airport and/or the airline's websites for up-to-date flight information.
Airport / City Review
It is a standard airport with some international flights. Not too many people moving around. Mid point between Cancun and Mexico Southeast Region. Make should you get into the airport approved taxis or you might be into a little surprise /Force $$$ donation) using the street taxis that hang around the airport. The city is quite and there is an US Consulate. Hotel are good (usually US chain hotels). Tourist oriented city.
CYPQ PIREP
Restaurant onsite is very good. More than decent coffee, a yummy home-made soup, good sandwiches.
DO NOT BUY GAS HERE - it was $1.77+HST ($2.02) from teh ESSO truck. In contrast, the member price at Rockcliffe is $1.65 (and CYRP and CYSH are similar in price to CYRO).
Travel comments
Small airport , very busy as it serves Pemex to move people around to their drilling / Production platforms via helo. Direct flights to Houston. Security is standard, for international flights be there 2 hours ahead, as they (Intl carriers) have a more strict security "check in" procedure. Baggage claim area is small, so be patient, as local and international flights may mix in the same area. Customs is piece of cake, just have your documents ready for the Migra people.
To anon
Get over your self anon they are not that bad. Get your hand off it.
Who Updates This Site?
Do individual airlines update their flight listings? I am curious since I am in Jeju and was just informed by China Eastern Air via text that the airport is CLOSED at least until noon!
What is wify ?
First learn the spelling. Then we will even think of implementing it.
