An easy going airport.

This has to be the best airport that I almost flew out of as a passenger. During the late 1980's, I had worked a week in Ironwood and our team was scheduled to leave at about noon for Detroit. Airport was closed, we drove to Marquette, flew to Green Bay, remainder of flight to Chicago was cancelled due to mechanical problems, rerouted to St. Paul, finally to Detroit about 14 hours later.
Please try to throw luggage a bit more roughly.
Transferring from an international flight to a domestic is refreshingly easy at DFW, but the brutes that take luggage from the SmartCart and "transfer" it to domestic flights appear to take great pleasure in throwing luggage as roughly as possible. Rather than move luggage to the conveyer to transfer to domestic terminals, the guys tossed even the lightest luggage. This is truly unacceptable and requires some oversight (and a few folks seeking jobs).
Hi
Would luv to drop in sometime with my CH 601
Cheers

Is this airport open ?
Seems the dirt dumping was stopped in April 2017.
Are the planes there in the hangers ?
With so much dirt being pushed around a lot would get into the hangers and on the planes.
What is the status of this airport ?
the breakfast are excellent !
Copa flight 131
Greate place to meet new friends on every 1st saturday of each month from 8:30AM to 11AM for a nice 10$ breakfast. Hosted by airport owner Michel Monette and his wife Nathalie, awesome people.

A hidden gem
What a great little airport, just minutes from Upper Canada village. Flew from CYRO for a nice relaxing afternoon with family. Heard lot of chatter from nearby traffic but no one in the pattern and just one aircraft parked at the airport. Truly a pilot controlled airport.
Too expensive for me
Expensive fuel and many fees. Please avoid unless you own a jet and must go to old Quebec City. If you want to visit around you are better going to Trois-Riviere and rent a car.
Nice tower folks
Rare small controlled airport around. Bilingual services. Nice down town area.
Nice place
Nice people around. Same town feeling. Downtown Joliette is a real small city with all restaurants, hotels, cabs... Nice little terminal with a dynamic flight school. Cheap fuel available when the flight school is open. No restaurant on site, always some retired folks around to talk airplane with and help you. English spoken by most local French-Canadian pilots. Many ex-airline and ex-Military pilots here.
Worn down, no one around, nothing around.
Better go somewhere else like CSU3, CSC3.
Cheap fuel
The cheapest 100LL in the area. Busy on weekends. Watch out for parachute jumpers. Most local pilot speak/understand English. Just be clear and ask questions. No food around. Better go to Trois-Riviere or Bromont for good airport based restaurants.
Good spot
English spoken, good place for 100LL and Jetfuel. Always someone around for fuel when the weather is ok to good. English is understood/spoken by all local pilot. Just be clear and ask questions if not sure. Not a good idea to be Nordo. Say your intention. Runway 20 is a right circuit. Just approach by the city side. Plenty of trikes and flight schools here for touch and goes.
Massage Chairs needed in all departure lounges
There are so many people that could benefit from using that easy boy style pay for use massage chairs not everyone has the time or the money to go to the spa was and people would really be able to benefit from this it's a no cost item the chairs pay for themselves if not make you a profit
Please in sure that these chairs are placed in all departure lounge is not just a long distance halls
KANAN NDB CCC 335 kHz is Back on Air!
Back on air 26 Aug 2017! Was decommissioned 30 Jun 17 and was off air previously. Had a history of going off air.
Great Heavy Metal alternative to LAX serving the San Fernand
If you are visiting "North L.A., Burbank is a great alternate to LAX
Aerial Cinematography Capitol of the World
More of Hollywood's "Airforce" is stationed at VNY than any other airfield.
Great $200.00 Hamburger
The Spruce Goose Cafe has great food and is a fun destination. Also Tail Spin Tommy's Flight School has Cessna 150 and 152 Trainers with excellent instructors.
Port Angeles Airport
No traffic, nice long runway for landing practice.
2WA1 Diamond Point Airstrip, Washington
My neighborhood airport.
Hometown airport
I grew up five miles from this airport and always fly into PTK when returning home for a visit. Lots of FBOs on the field mean that fuel prices are competitive.
Well worth the visit
Imagine stepping from your airplane to a horse-drawn taxi into town. Aircraft are the only motorized vehicles allowed on the island (with a few minor exceptions). Fly the pattern offshore to minimize your noise footprint. The wind is almost always variable and/or gusty here, stay alert. The island is a state park and there is a parking fee. Though parts of the island are rather touristy, the fort is worth the tour for history buffs (site of the first land battle in the War of 1812).
Great destination, unusual setting
Located on an island just east of downtown Knoxville (as the name implies), DKX is always a pleasure to visit. It is an active field - there is almost always some air traffic in the pattern. Self service fuel is quite inexpensive. Overnight fee for one night waived with fuel purchase. It is always a treat to visit this airport. We've been there several times since 2008.
Home Base
I have been based at KSDC since 2013. This is an unusual facility in that it is owned and operated by the Williamson Flying Club. The club takes excellent care of the field. There's an AWOS, though its readings can be deceiving because the winds are often blocked by trees around the airport. BAC Services provides excellent maintenance on the field.
The Nest
I learned to fly here from 2001 - 2002, so Three Rivers will always be home for me. John Conrad provides trustworthy maintenance at Conrad Aero. The last time I visited, the field condition here was not what I remembered. There were a lot of cracks in the runways with weeds growing up through.
Great lunch destination
Wonderful, well-groomed turf runway for tail- and nose-draggers alike! The Red Mill restaurant cooks up wonderful meals in a rustic setting. The restaurant is seasonal - May - Oct. Very much worth the stop!
Nice stopover
Have a great fly-in breakfast, well priced fuel and small flying club
Plowed field
Wow! This place is as rough as a plowed field. No tie downs, no fuel, no FBO, just a strip of grass.
CGNNA
Hoping to fly in there today.

Wow, they are proud of their fuel. Exciting place to approach - hard to recognize the airport way down there in that box canyon. Bought the T-shirt "Some fly at 9070 feet, WE LAND"

dieppe airport, new brunswick, canada
Is Moncton McEwen airport same as Dieppe airport in new brunswick, Canada
Friendly place
Stopped here for fuel on my way back to Fort Worth from Oshkosh and was met by one of the local pilots who showed me where the pilot's lounge and bathrooms were. Very nice airport although Rwy 04/22 is a little bit rough. Fuel price was very good too.

Do you all have a rental car company at this airport? Is American Airlines the only one that flies into this airport?
Rude and unorganized
Very disappointed with the lack of customer service and the overall lack of organization. Nearly every employee we interacted with was argumentative and sharp with every response. This ranged from airline employees to security to people stationed at customs. The airport is a disaster. I understand there is a remodel effort underway, but the floors of the airport are disgusting. There is very little seating if you happen to be trapped for extended periods. There were at least uniformed airport "security" that sat around for several hours just socializing. They were loud and were loudly using foul language. Maybe management should hang out one night and see what goes on. I hate having to rant about something, but this was by far the worst airport I have ever encountered.

Eppley is a Good Stop in the Good Life
Easy security, very pricey once you're through it. A terminal has a little more than B terminal.
re: Vandals
Were you coming from the States? That would explain it.
Where can I find the official map of the Kingston Airfield?
I'm on the History Committee of the Kingscourt Community Association, and I'm looking into the history of the old airfield. Trying to find an official government map of the airfield -- tried NavCan, Dept of Transport, Archives Canada but no luck. I have the Kingston topographical map from 1931 that shows the runways, but I'd still like to see the official map of the airfield. Can you help?
beautiful location
absolutly must go in summer, its so beautiful :)
EA LOVE FIELD
Great FBO at Legend. Very helpful and great service. I didn't need any fuel and they let me have a Crew car. Fun town trip.
Latest for Greenbank ... from a flying in visitor
🔗 Tue, 10 Oct 2017
— Anonymous Flyer at Greenbank-Uxbridge-Port Perry Airfield, Canada
I flew into Greenbank airport on Sunday 24 September 2017. The main runway (Turf) was cut and serviceable. Marked by orange cones ... As far as (06/24) is concerned - It is gone.
There were a few aircraft parked on the field.
There is NO fuel. I attempted to get some - four times. The pump worked but the tanks were dry.
Fortunately I took my 2 gallon Jerry-can from my baggage compartment and walked to the nearby Shell Gas station and bought some MoGas. 3 trips.
