An expensive waste of money that drained the Estonian econom
The current despotic quasi-tsar of the tinpot republic of Estonia, an Americanized Swede, spent a fortune unnecessarily enhancing this NATO airbase despite other more important domestic issues requiring these funds. This action escalated tensions between this tiny part of the Baltic and their longstanding friends and neighbours in the Russian Federation. Yet another example of the xenophobia endemic in this region of the E.U.!
Contact information
Hey guys can i get contact details I.E phone number for the land owner if possible.
Fabulous place - will definitely return1
We recently visited this airstrip to be met with the warmest hospitality and as a result, had a fabulous trip to West Bay and the Dorset Coast. Thanks to Phil Parmiter for all his help and assistance. Rob and Deborah McKellar
Visit to Malbork Air Force Base, former Marienburg in Ostpre
The Flying Veterans of Sweden visited the air base om August 1, 2013 with our DC-3 and were welcomed by a Su 22 which did some aerobatics over the field. There were talks about an air show at the base some time in September this year.
Anyone who can fill me in?

re: BA128
Reply to @david:
1. Metz Frescaty is LFSF. I'm not sure that it is closed. The air base is closed but I believe there are still flying clubs there.
2. Nancy Essey is not closed. It is fully active with a nice ILS approach: LFSN. Simply there is no more commercial liners.
LFSY is no longer Chaumont but CESSEY
LFSY is no longer "Chaumont" but "CESSEY Baigneux les Juifs" !!!

fantastic airport !
Landing was 8 EUR for Diamond DV20.
Park next to super restaurant - speciality - Snitzel !! Don't miss it !
very nice airport !
Landing was 12 EUR for Diamond DV20. Nice briefing room !
Restaurant looks nice but it's closed on Wednesday. Of course I came in on Wednesday :)
cargo
is that airport for cargo also?!!
Reduce costs, make commercially viable.
Presently flights can only be afforded by rich people. The small Dash planes have difficulty leaving with more than 18 passengers in a 38 seater! Flight prices are more than twice that of Blue Star ferries. Construct a runway 1900 mtrs for tourist planes to land from Europe or forget being a tourist destination. Mykonos and Santorini both succeed in attracting European and other overseas visitors why not Paros? Hotels have lots of empty rooms. Wake up Paros get on with a proper size airport!! Your a large island with lots of accommodation.
ATR 42 diversion
Auxerre had an unexpected arrival 7/6/13 - an ATR 42 of Blue Islands diverted enroute from Zurich to Jersey. Declared an emergency landing due to cracked cockpit window.

Aeroclub de Valloire <aeroclub-de-valloire.com>
This backcountry airstrip opened in 1969 as a facility intended for mountain S & R and early holiday ski activity in the Valloire's mountain resort.
Since and so far, whatever changes came to happen in the economic, touristic, and regulatory field, we have been the only local aeronautical facilitators and actors.

Nice GA airport, no landing/parking fee
Nice airport, with a good restaurant on the field. It is close to Toulouse-Blaganc International airport (LFBO) so IFR pilots can do ILS approaches, cancel IFR and go to Lasbordes. With 950m, it is OK for take-offs but landings on QFU16 have a displaced threshold of 140m due to the road. A bit tricky for planes that do not slow down easily like Mooneys. The solution is to do the approach high, with 3 whites on the VASI to clear the road, aim touch down point at the beginning of the runway (before the threshold), do the flare to lose speed and touch down actually at the displaced threshold. Tip when coming from the East to identify the airport: look for the white Ariane 5 rocket mock-up of the Aerospace museum, just next to the airport, across the motorway. A must to visit, by the way.
Great airfield, friendly and helpful staff
It's great Bembridge is fully open again and I can vouch the staff are friendly and helpful. I go there frequently in my R44 heli; make a day of it and eat at the Propeller Inn, adjacent to the airfield, or walk to the Crab and Lobster Inn (about 30 mins along beach).
is it the same airport? if I book Genova sestri or cristofor
Is there just the one airport in Genova that has flights to London?

airside trolleys
π Tue, 13 Aug 2013
β Anonymous Flyer at London Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom
Modern airports provide airside trolleys, which fit inside toilet cubicles for security. Heathrow is too mean. This is an important facility for mothers carrying necessities for small children and for elderly passengers who find the trolleys convenient to lean on, while wheeling their cabin luggage and duty free purchases. I have heard LHR staff comment that they are fed up with collecting and stacking the trolleys. Apparently this is not a problem for staff at Amsterdam, Zurich and other modern, customer friendly airports.
