Airport comments for Europe
Comments 451 to 500 of 2,393
Beautiful scenery
The aerodrome is abandoned, but the runway is still in excelent condition.
It has an upslope west to east.
Expensive
Landing fees are around €12,50 per ton.
However, there is a nice restaurant within walking distance from the airfield.
Very narrow
The dirt runway has become unusable.
On the east there is quite a big hill, so a straight in is difficult.
The runway is rather narrow, with trees and bushes not far from the runway edge.
Obstacle Course
The runway has a huge upslope east to west. The west end of the runway is full of antennas with supporting wires reaching all the way to the runway edge. On the aproach end it is full of windmills so a continuous turn from base to the treshold has to be made.
cool
it ok!!

Runway is now fully covered with tarp, and in very good condition.
In spite of the obstacles on both ends, it is not a difficult runway.
It's gone!
This plot of land now has some greenhouses and the airstrip is gone.

Please remove that keyword.
Thanks!

I landed there a few years ago but nowadays it is harder to spot the southeast limit and you really have to use it if you want to stop before the first road crossing because the ground is a bit uneven there.
Good condition
The trees feel a bit too close if you're doing a low pass but at landing speeds, coming in from East, it's perfectly safe.
Weeds
High weeds but smooth surface below. Beautiful area.
Russian invasion
«Russia’s military claimed Friday afternoon that its forces had staged a “successful landing operation” to capture Hostomel airfield on Kyiv’s outskirts, viewed as strategically important.»

Ukrainian missile strike
«Ukrainian forces earlier today claimed to have hit an airfield in Millerovo in Rostov, southern Russia, destroying at least one of Moscow's Su-30SM fighter jets.
«Footage posted online purported to show the tail end of a missile strike on the Russian military's airbase around 10am local time (8am GMT) with several buildings on the site engulfed in flames.»
Russian missile strike
«A harrowing video appears to show a Russian missile hitting Ivano-Frankivsk airport in western Ukraine.
«Smoke can be seen billowing from the building after the strike, which also created a large bang as the missile smashed into its target.»

Herdade do Pontal is a private runway with very little activity. It has more or less 8 ultralights based there.
The runway is in very good condition. There are obstacles on both ends of the runway, but the runway is long enough so is not a factor.
The beginning of the runway has a downslope, transitioning into an upslope.
(no subject)
3% upslope on runway 11. High trees on the final approach. With only 260m of runway it can be challenging.

Grumpy owner and no reason to be there.
Usable paved airstrip
Beware of a few things:
* There's a road crossing the strip, better call beforehand so that they close the road for your landing
* There's a tree hard to see tree (no leafs) right in your way when you come from North.
* The pavement has a little bump where the road crosses
* The pavement has some growing bushes but not a big deal

Came by Boat, got lifted up by a winch, but spent a sunny afternoon sitting on the Helipad exchanging travel stories to the more unsual spots. Really enjoyed 'Room Tour'.

re: Wrong latitude
Updated — thank you.
Fixed location.
GAP is an aeromodeling (R/C) field located just to the SE of the larger general aviation airport. Note that it is far shorter than the listed 1969'.
Private?
Looks like it might well be private aka "personal" - always hard to tell from far away.
VIDF - NNS Pithoragarh Airport India
Just a minor info concerning the information received by clicking the relevant symbol in the world map for the a.m. location. Not only is it miswritten > Pithorgarh < but more important it is not located in the State of Uttar Pradesh, but in the State of Uttarakhand. Correction shoudn't be a great deal, should it ?
Not operational

It's still there with lots of construction equipment on the west end. Apparently it's not operational since 2011. No aircraft seeable.
