Nice airport
They offer prior arrival/departure arranged costums for extra payment of 31 EUR
Prices
Technical landing (Landing, Handling, fees, Departure) for up to 1 TON MTOW for a two seat aircraft was 35 EUR.
Nice place
Next to wildlife station and fuel available. Middle of the pond is very shallow
Middle of nowhere
No services what so ever and runway is full of holes. Should be condemmed!
Dangerous
Tried landing there on a Sunday and was 800 feet off the ground when I noticed drag racing.
Well maintained
Great restaurant, very busy airport. NOT!!
DON'T LAND HERE!
Don't land here unless you want the FAA, FBI, CIA, and NSA take their turns giving you a thorough proctology exam!!!
Carswell Air Force Base
Stationed at Carswell 1986-1992 during the last years of the Cold War and the end of the Reagan presidency. The base has lots of history, from the roll-out of all the great Convair and General Dynamics aircraft across the field, to being a movie star in Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart. It was a great assignment, and a wonderful area (even though the summers were just too hot!). Loved watching the sky turn black when the B-52Hs all took-off during the major exercises, followed by all the KC-135s. What a sight to behold! Also loved the impromptu airshows when GD rolled-out a new F-16 for initial flight tests right over the airfield! That always brought everyone out of their offices, and stopped Commissary & BX shoppers in their tracks to watch the performance!
BognorRegis My home town.
I always wondered why I was born in Bognor Regis, now it makes sense to me. My parents were Lived in London until just after the war (my mother born in London and my Father born near his ancestral home of Ely, but grew up in West Ham). My Father was a Fighter pilot during the Second world War and in 1945 his was with 83 G.S.U. training on Typhoon fighters to go to the far east for the fight against the Japanese. At this time 83 G.S.U. was stationed at Bognor then Westhampnet (Goodwood today). So this would explain where My parents got the notion to move to Bognor Regis. My father had spent time there and knew what it was like.

Airport Information & Airfield Diagram
The RP CAA AIP has absolutely nothing in the way of basic essential airport diagrams w/information for any airport in the Philippines. It would be great if they published airfield diagrams showing all runways, taxiways & markings for parking areas. It should also include valid ICAO identifier, valid LAT/LONG, Field elevation & all Frequencies just as a minimum. It is almost impossible to find any information online for Laguindingan (RPMY) airport. That goes for any other Philippine Airport. You can't even find an airfield diagram for Manila International in the CAA AIP or online. The only way is to subscribe to Jeppeson. RP CAA, please publish something. Thanks.

Kabul Airport Fight Info
It is much appreciated, many thanks for this piece of work to keep the passengers and families updated regarding flights to and from Kabul. An excellent effort.
Advise about arrival Cairo Airport II
When it comes asking for bakshish or tips. DON'T PAY!
If you are in the taxi and the luggage in the trunk and they ask for tips; leave the taxi and start removing the luggage. It's just pretend because they will then drop the demand for tips right away. You can tip at the other end 10 - 20.00 L. E. if everything went smoothly, it's a long ride and it's very cheap to get from the airport to city center.
A bit of advice about Cairo Airport.
I have my grave suspicion that the previous comment was written by an airport staff. (The poor spelling and overly positive remarks)
Leaving the plane, getting your visa at one of the banks and getting down to the conveyor belt is quite easy. When you finally leave customs you are met with a plethora of driver-managers with badges and what-not. Ignore them even if they grab your trolley. Cross over the street to the opposite site and descent down to a lower level to the official 'white' taxis. You will get wild quotes for driving to downtown Cairo but a fair price Oct. 2014 is 100.00 Egyptian Pound. You might have to wait a minute but a driver will arrive and accept the price. Make sure you are booked with your name with the policeman sitting next to the taxis.
But remember that you can get your visa at the airport, how many countries gives that easy access to their country?
Nice Airport
I visited Sept. 16, 2014 for the first time. Nice terminal building with soft drinks and cookies available. Congratulations to Justine on her first solo.

Inside story of Jalgaon airport ( National waste )
This was constructed to benefit Patil family , today no airline operators are ready , no cargo functions are ready IAAI incurs a loss of Rs 12 Cr per month as salary , operational cost and paying CISF protection etc.
Who will look it is a political stunt or a miss management of ministers and bureaucrats
please address thee issue
Food
Great restaurant!
Short
Caught some "attitude" here from more than a few people. Wasn't as friendly as I would have liked.
Woo hoo! Three forks saved the day!
Traveling due West I ran head on it to worsening weather. spun around and tried to get back in the clear but the sky opened up and the worst rain I've ever encountered began to fall. Flash flood stuff. immediately headed toward the closest airport (Three Forks). Landed with plenty of thunder and lightening. Moral of the story. You can watch the weather very closely (I DID) and still get bushwhacked! Thank you Garmin!
Nice area, nice general aviation airport.
Great airport / FBO. A bit spendy but hey, worth it.
NAIA
ok naman. i've been travelling outside the country since i was 13 years old (28 na ko ngayon). wala naman problem sa mga IO. last labas ko ng pinas nung june papuntang toronto. wala naman tanong mga IO tingin-tingin lang sa passport and visa tapos ok na.
Absolutely perfect
I flew in with my PA34 (Piper Seneca) from Birmingham Alabama via Toronto buttonville (CYKZ) along with 4 others on board, we stopped in to see family. And friends in the area. The runways are fantastic and very well taken care of, I've landed on paved runways that were not as good as this place. The staff and airport manager were excellent, extremely friendly and very helpful. Fuel was cheaper than anywhere else I could find in the region. I would highly recommend this little place, it's in a wonderful area and it is in perfect condition to land anything from a home build, or a light twin right up to a Kingair.. This place has no issues whatsoever.
poor maintenance
Recently i traveled both Domestic and International via Chennai Airport. Airport Maintenance (Gents Toilet area) is very bad in Domestic terminal. No hand wash liquid, wet floor, carpet area in the gate area with lot of stain and not clean. International terminal departure gate area witnessed lot of pigeons (six to seven in numbers) flying inside the terminal.
Please send the AAI staff in Chennai Airport to go on Field trip to take a look at other airports that are maintained very well
(Hyderabad and Bangalore) and learn how to maintain the airport clean and tidy. if they are not efficient, Please remove them
from the job. Travelers flying via Chennai deserve better.
IATA Code is Missing
Kindly add the IATA code for Plastun Airport (TLY)
Dubai
Reply to @travis: Hi, how was your trip? Nakalusot ka ba?

For all First Time Night Flyers!!!
Pilanesberg Int., amazing airport beautiful runway but at night invisible to the average Flyer. Trick is to Press the PTT (Push To Talk) 3 times to switch on and up to 7 times for intensity. After the 7th push the runway lighting will switch off. Easiest way to locate the airfield is 3NM on a radial 050 FRM PNV. Enjoy !!!
Restaurant
Is it open on Sundays? I am flying in with a friend on Sunday 14 September and would like to have a light lunch. Many thanks, Roy from Redhill.
Is Passenger flights are operating in this airport like vayu
Is Passenger flights are operating in this airport like vayudot etc.,?
Planes too noisy over farms
Would whoever runs the pilot training at Romsey airport show some consideration for nearby farmers and reduce the number of take off and landings into or from the north. Some days the you can't hear a person speaking to you as planes fly so low over our farm. Given that to the south of the airport there are no residences, please take off and land from that direction. If the wind isn't suitable then don't fly for training. Thanks. Patrick Francis Moffitts Farm
ATC
Excellent. Great guys!
Do not go there
Handling not professional extremely expensive and we had to wait 2h15 for fuel....
