Super nice. I called a day or two ahead and Monica saved us a car. the lineguys were on top of their game and had us chocked and strapped down almost before we were out. My son and I went to see the UP 4014 Big Boy steam engine.
Juancho Y. Irausquin International Airport has a 400 metre runway! It is considered the shortest commercial runway in the world and has been updated at least thrice.
My first flight here was nothing short of amazing. Mr. Swank was very hospitable and it's only one of three Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) airports in Ohio!
Reply to @david: Unfortunately, after 71 years of operation at the Picton Airport, the lease between the new owners and the Prince Edward Flying Club was not renewed. The Club was required to vacate the clubhouse and hangar by the end of June 2024. The new owners of the airport have long-term plans that include parks, housing, and further business and event-hosting development; the airport is not included in those long-term plans. By the end of 2024, it is expected that the airport will be permanently closed with the 3 runways to be removed.
Very cool little grass strip, dropped in here one day with the C172. It's surrounded on all sides by trees so it makes for a pretty fun approach. The surface was fairly smooth and is fairly well maintained by the town of Boyle, definitely recommend stopping by.
Took the C172 up here and did a couple low passes. Looks like this strip sees little, to no use at all. There are what look like small poplars growing on either side of the landing area, leaving just a small, narrow path to land on(unless you want to mow down some shrubs with your prop). The grass didn't look too tall. Didn't actually touch down so I'm unsure of the surface condition, but didn't look to be too bad other than all of the shrubs.
Tried to stop in for the fly in breakfast and was told they only make enough food for members and next time to let them know in advance. Went elsewhere for breakfast. This isn’t a flying club it’s just a social club for crusty old dudes. The terminal isn’t much better. Want to feel like you are burdening someone? Try to use the terminal facilities, or buy fuel.
Brockville Airport. Where general aviation goes to die.
There are still visibility markers up on the power lines along Crystal Falls Parkway aligned with the south approach of this former grass strip in 2024!
If you're gonna get a "hundred dollar burger", hard to beat Gate 12 Bar and Grill, which has unobstructed window seating for planespotters. Last time I was here (before COVID), the waitstaff showed me their photos of an L-39 that popped through here -- USAF and USN military trainers (T-6, T-38, T-44, T-45) are a very common sight here and much easier to see and photograph than in Austin.
Hello anyone that worked for Rose from '73 to '77. My name is John Dickson and I, like othersm stumbled across this looking for info on Rex Rose for a good friend. I owe my entire airline career to advancements and good fortune I was able to enjoy working for Jean Rose and her Chief Pilot at the time, Art Olsen. If it wasn't for them and their trust in the young 20 year old I was at the time, I'm not sure where I would be. They both entrusted in me the position of flight instructor, charter pilot, and Telephone Patrol Pilot for PT&T from '74 to '77. I worked with some great people - Ray Patinelli, Gene Fitzpatrick, Joe Harrington, Rob Keenan, Greg Madden, Colby Bridget, Tom Rustemyer, George Chuili, Steve Toon, and dispatcher Nikki Caldwell. I remember very well Linda who has checked on with this blog - and would love to catch up on how Art Olsen lived the rest of his life. I have a great story about Rex Rose (actually two) that I would love to share for anyone who would like to listen. Just let me know. I'll keep any eye out. Anyone out there from that era?
We stopped at this airport for fuel BUT they just received a delivery of fuel and "had to settle" for 1.5 hours before being dispensed.
Unfortunate landing that could have been avoided if the FBO responded to our unicom calls as we approached the airport. There were no responses as we called out our positions. They did not communicate the fuel issue until we taxied to the fuel farm. Pretty sad lack of communication.
I Met a fellow lifeline pilot, Tad who flew my passengers the remainder of their trip from Omaha NE to Terra Haute IN. Jeff and Shawna were a great couple to have along.
I landed here on June 5, 1990 and spend the night. I was on a ferry flight from KICT to EBKT in a C172, on the leg KBGR-CYYR when I iced up about 30 nm north of the YEO beacon in a snow storm, and decided to make a 180 back to the strip. I woke up the next day to a foot of snow. A Coastguard Labrador picked me up later that morning and dropped me off in Wabush. Returned a week later with a beaver on floats, to fly the airplane out again.
