Airport comments for the World
Comments 933 to 982 of 16,033
Error
I flew in to MSO and drove out and there was no airport around, if my comment is a error please tell me.
Terrible
DFW is terrible, every time I go my bags either get lost or stuck at the airport. My flights always get delayed at least 2 hours 0/10
An Empty Place.
I went from my home airport of DCA to DAY, it is amazing how it there are direct flights. We were on a CRJ-900 that was 3/4s Full but when we walked to the baggage claim it was long but nobody was there, like nobody. Even the people on our plane, the place was deserted but eventually we got to baggage claim.
Anguilla
I have been to AXA around 10 times and the people were so nice! We got through customs fast and easily. The airport was clean and it was a 9/10 (the airport is a little small)
Puerto Natales
Puerto Natales is a not a good airport, the line streched out of the airport and it took us 2 hours to get to the plane.
Santiago Airport
I was flying LATAM from Puerto Natales, Chile and It was surprising how fast it was! We landed and the taxi was only 5 minutes, getting off the plane and the walk was long to baggage claim. Then we got some more Chilean Pesos and we went on our way.
Terminals 1 and 2
I was flying from Ezeiza to Ushuaia and Terminal One was so small, crowded and terrible. I had to wake up at 2:00 AM for a 7:00 AM flight and we took off at 11:00 AM. Aerolineas Argentinas and Terminal 1 were terrible, but Terminal 2 was Great!
TERMINAL 2: I was flying on American Airlines from MIA-EZE and customs was ok, some kid barfed in the line and the customs line was a little long but the customs agent was nice and we got thru easily, it was modern and had restaurants, cafes and more.
Mystery solved
Posted address on FAA and AirNav is incorrect, Western Surgery Center is adjacent to Cache Valley Hospital in North Logan.
CGI - Great Airport
I've only visited by automobile so far so I can't speak on specifics like fuel and related services.
CGI is a small regional airport that's big on amenities. Great FBO for passengers and pilots alike. There's a good restaurant called The Pilot House that has a great view overlooking the flight line and runways. One carrier (Contour Airlines, as of August 2023) based here that has affordable flights to Nashville, TN.
Everyone I've encountered here has been friendly.
re: Name of the airport.
Iwo Jima originates from an English language misreading of the Japanese η‘«ι»ε³Ά IΕtΕ ("Sulfur Island") as "iwo shima" prior to World War II. This name has been immortalized in name of the battle fought here in 1945, but the proper and official name of the island is indeed IΕtΕ (or in older transliterations "Iwo To" or "Iwautau") with "Iojima" being a persistent but incorrect reading that is protested by the descendants of the people who lived here before evacuation during the war (and the subsequent and continuing use of the island as an air base).

New Airfield in final stages of development
New location for the historical CovilhΓ£ AirClub, which lost it's original infrastructure located 1km West to give way for the construction of a data center...
The runaway is mostly 'built', but consolidation works are still underway and is not yet open to the general public and is pending certification. The new HQs for the AirClub are located North accross the field the runway is in in the village's old Primary School building - a Windsock is visible on this building whcih helps identifying it!
re: all hail TUSAΕ ;)

Airstrip Closed
Runway has been destroyed and replaced with some tree plantation.
Batman
i was told this is where Batman lives...??
re: Road
Reply to @david: Moved marker per added pilot info link.

Nowadays the airstrip has something piled up in the middle, but the surface quality is still good.
(no subject)
The airstrip is basically unusable as for today, looks much worse than on a satellite image.

The airstrip is still in good condition as for today.
The Red Baron was here.
We stopped to pick up a passenger on our way home from Indiana and the Red Baron landed just after we did.
re: Better get it right
Reply to @Randallksparks: It is quite short and narrow. The trees were a bit unnerving but I got it right and stuck it down on my first flight as a PPL.y CFI was great.
re: Yearly Event
Reply to @david: The seaplane event has not taken place for many years now, I do not think any seaplane activity remains here. Do we want to keep this entry?
Looks vary nice
We had people waiting to pick us up and it was after hours so we didnβt go into the FBO. But it was vey clean and mowed up nice
Port
So baskino.me good airports
Air
Wow, what?!

New Ultralight airfield that opened up in June 2022
Fact about SLK!
During the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics runway 05-23 was stretched to be able for a Boeing 747 to land!
Ushuaian Approach - SAWH View of EAU
If you go to SAWH, like I did. And grab a F seat you can get a very good view of EAU. Just wanted to share that fact!
Ushuaian Approach
I have been to SAWH Twice. The runway 25 approach is stunning! Try grabbing seat A of any row! It is crazy beautiful.
Airport might move
Heard they want to move the airport about 50 ft northward of the road to make room for more development but thatβs only what I heard, might not happen but who knows
(no subject)
Surface is barely usable nowadays. Obstacles (bushes) are present at both ends of the runway.
LFJL/ETZ
According to Navigraph, this landing/runway is 3050 m / 10.007' !
Mystery solved
The FAA and AirNav coordinates placed this incorrectly well to the north, but a chance spot of N7802K (private Cessna 180J Skywagon) observed taking off from there on 17 Feb 2023 finally solved this mystery
Duplicate
Turns out this is the actual location of TA55 Del Valle, whose FAA coordinates were way too far north.

Looks like this airport does not exist anymore. The code SEJM has been removed from the latest ICAO7910 doc.
sorry
I AM very sorry of confusing that airstrip with CYSH, my brain was stupid at that time.
(no subject)
Runway is overgrown and the asphalt is broken in many places, no fences and the old Soviet terminal has broken windows.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter Base
Very cool base to visit and watch the incredible Westpac helicopters taking off and landing up close, you just have to time it well and hope that one will go coming or going when you get there. Easier said than done : )
New Westpac Rescue Base
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.
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.

Short Flight

β Anonymous Flyer at Princess Juliana International Airport, Sint Maarten
I flew to SXM (NL) from Anguilla (UK), the shortest international flight in the world on Anguilla Air Services. Then had a fun day at Maho Beach and went back to Anguilla.
