Staff
What an experience at this airport - I had heard other travellers experience so I put myself through it to get my own findings. Arriving at the airport no bad at all, ( As I had no food in my suitcase or valuable items. ) Departing however was a disgrace, First set of checking staff, asked me if I had any english notes and if not my suitcases would get opened. ( thats said to every person to get them all panicked ) I had 3 kids with me so didn't have the patience to tolerate this kind of talk from a man who was probably getting paid less then me. I told him to go ahead and open my suitcases. well as soon as that was said, he then instructed a woman staff member to go through my cases and slowly moved onto his next target And even after that every check that was done the staff have probably never craked a smile in the last 20 years. It;s obviously very hard for certain people of a certain degree to get to the grasp that, we too earn for a living, we work day and night and then pay for a ticket and fly over, its hard explaining that to humans that think money grows on
trees. Money talks not the truth...... now I know why such a word as corrupt is used.....
Still maintained?
I'm curious if this is still maintained as an emergency highway landing strip.
Probably closed
Looks like another former Soviet airstrip. The runway pavement is seriously decayed.
Closed?
There are no markings and no signs of aircraft, but the pavement looks like it may still be usable. I'm guessing this is another former Soviet airbase.
Closed
This airport appears to be closed -- the outline of the former runway is barely visible in the satellite view.
Closed?
From the advanced decay of the runway pavement, it looks like this airstrip (former Soviet airbase?) is closed. Can anyone confirm?
Former Soviet Base?
This looks like an abandoned Soviet airbase. There are no longer any markings on the runway, and some tracks seem to cross it, but it still looks usable. Does anyone know if this airstrip is still open?
Can I get a flight to this airstrip
I'm not too far from this airfield and want to know if I can get a flight from Manila to here any help on this matter would be really appreciated kind rgds Steve

Vietnam-War era reliever
The US built this strip as a reliever for Nha Trang Air Base (VVNT) during the Vietnam War. In the satellite photo, it appears abandoned.
History
This was built as a US air base during the Vietnam war, and was captured by North Vietnam in 1975. The airport received major reconstruction during the early 2000s, and starting in 2004, it took over scheduled civilian air traffic for Nha Trang from VVNT.
Vietnam War
This was originally a French colonial air base built in 1949, and it served as a major US and South Vietnamese air base during the Vietnam War, until its capture in 1975. Until 2004, the base handled civilian traffic for Nha Trang as well, but that now goes through VVCR.
First Fiight Al baha Saudi Arabia
I was on the first fight out of the airport in 1982,
re: Name During WW2?
According to the Japanese-language Wikipedia article, this base was opened in 1942 for the Empire of Japan's Naval Air Corps, seized by US forces in 1945, and handed back over to the Japanese military in 1954 (where it later became the home of the JADF's "Blue Impulse" aerobatic team). There is no mention of what name the US might have used for the base during the occupation.
Name During WW2?
What was the name of this airport during ww@? I spent time ehere with the 11th Airborne, It would be intresting to see it now and talk about it, cfowler26@kc.rr.com

gondia air port
Birsi airport is 100 years old runway and made by british.luckily,Gondia get strong person Shree Praful Bhai Patel and he renewed as international level airport.
airport survey...
people i heard that there was a survey made for starting Gaya-Delhi flight, but survey team sitting at patna only cancelled the idea, giving the reason of less revenue from the airport ..isn't it kiddish ..first let the things be known to people. automatically they will start using those services ....most of the time they cancel the flight without any reasons and also no information is given to fliers and they suffer a lot. already i have sufferred this twice..also there is no availablity of snacks or coffee/tea shops at the airport.so first improve the service and then revenue can be build easily...

Mt Mayon
Hi! I have planned to fly to Legazpi in February and I'm worried of the volcano Mt Mayon. I know people have been evacuated away from the volcano at the moment and like to know a little more! We have planned to fly to Legazpi then take a taxi to Pilar and a fast craft to Masbate City. What happens if the volcano eruptures?? Where can we land safely that our plans are not all going to waste? What's the situation at the moment?

Runway at Castillejos
I last used this runway in 1964 when the Cubi Pt. Navy Flying Club used it for training with a Piper Colt. It was unpaved but in good condition and was attended by a man who asked for our flight information.
Runway
I last landed and took off Corregidor in 1984 with 3 American Civil Air Patrol Cadets. I recommend 10 degrees of flaps for takeoff with a Cessna 182.
The same C182 with 4 adults went off the end of the runway and dropped into the bay sometime later.
re: any airlines care to fly to iligan?pls.do....
hej,im glad to have a feedback/reaction relating my post.actually it took some time for somebody like me interested about Ma.Cristina Airport's reopening to commercial service.I'm even more happy to know that you're working for the govt.or in the congress.are you a staff of Cong.Varf Belmonte?i've been looking for a way on how i can contact him to ask about what's his plan of RPMI(Iligan)the only thing i can link you about RPMI(Ma.Cristina Airport)is in skyscrapercity.com,i believe you know that forum already.there's a guy in there that's really an aviation expert and he knows the real score of Iligan airport.AFAIK Iligan Airport is still close waiting for the clearing operation by our AFP to be finished and be declared safe for aircraft within the approach zone.but i still believe that a push from the local govt.or the person like cong.varf belmonte or people connected with the govt.could be a big help in reopening the airport.i've seen many airports opened already and has been active ever since.airports of cities or provinces that iligan is way ahead in terms of revenue and population.i just hope you could give your precious time to promote or make an important move so Ma.Cristina Airport can be reopened again.i would would be happy to support too.
