OPEN TOO VISITORS??
I was wondering if visitors are welcome?
CDK
Amazing little strip with short runway. Excellent VFR stop with fantastic views from the air and ground. Beware when planning, this airstrip does not yet have an ICAO or IATA code, yet, only the FAA LID code (despite many sites assuming otherwise),
Delete obsolete/duplicate runway
please delete 09/27 runway; the airport has only 1 runway 10/28
Fuel
Credit cards not accepted at pump. Transient pilots must call in attendant with a special card. Then credit card is accepted manually by same attendent in terminal building. Had to wait about 15 minutes. The fact that credit cards are not accepted at the pump is not displayed, and we tried several times.
Taxi lineup and smoking area
I would like to suggest that YVR move the smoking area which is too close to the taxi line. Currently standing 20 deep (further to the previous comment) and it feels like we are breathing smoke directly from a cigarette. It isn't even windy. This is not acceptable.
Now to the lineup. How is it that there is a lot full of taxis and a lineup with NO cars in sight. This is a pattern that needs correcting.

Danger here night shoot out here
Wiley's seaport, USA
I'm a kayak enthusiast. When going by, they keep the river clear of debris. There are lots of logs and other stuff not only for the planes, but for boats.
The pilots always give a friendly wave.

GREAT DESTINATION FOR LUNCH OR DINNER!
6/26/2017
Papps is a great on field restaurant. Open for lunch and dinner. Pulled portk macncheese was delicious. Upper deck overlooking field was a great place to eat and drink. I'll be back soon!
Connecting from USA, in transit to Brazil
Not enough staff directing people and offering help. Came in from Pittsburgh, in transit to São Paulo. I've never been thru YYZ. They told me to go downstairs to baggage claim. But that wasn't necessary- evidently I missed a turn, went out to the terminal, thru security again. I found the airport not easy to navigate. Of course I should have prepared better as well.

Yes you do spot Ringling - Very good eye. I live here just 8 miles from the Arpt. and the renovations are beautiful. Gawd, you should see the huge fish tanks that they put in.
Only problem with SRQ is the landing fees keep the majors away. Sad but true, as an international arpt. they should want to bring in more majors and reg. flight's not price them away! MHO

Yes. D. Gould was Don Gould and I recall his Cherokee. Lost track of him in the early 1980s. He learned to fly same time as me. Good to know his airplane is still doin' its thing all these years later. Hope Don is too!
Maple Airport designator
Yes, the designator was N3G; rather obscure but as I recall it was in the Canada Air Pilot. Used to instruct there in the late 1970s. Wonderful memories of a great airport and a great bunch of guys!

Friendly
What a rip off
I just paid $9.25 for a regular coffee and a small bottle of water in the U.S. departure lounge. This is outrageous.

Home airport
Where I fly out of
What a shame!
Restaurant is great, and with renovations complete and the new school onsite, airport is now bee-hive of activity - but what was once a beautiful and accessible airport in cottage country has become a money grab for management (Loomex)
Price for fuel is also very high. There are no more GA friendly airport gestures ...including (but certainly not limited to) no more overnight tie down waived with fuel, no more waiving or reducing tie-down for aircraft unexpectedly grounded with mechanical issues or weathered in. Hangars are also nice but extremely expensive.
Everyone originally thought that the increase in volume would help keep costs down, but with Loomex (operating at their healthy margin) now involved with a back-office load of people, almost everything has a new (2x) cost. Anything remaining that does not - soon will. Same story at Lindsay but without renovations or a flying school.

Eight or more planes over Sydney?

Brenda
Hold ON!!!
Enjoyed a 777 take off while being sand blasted on the beach. FUN
What did I see?
One evening last year I witnessed a small plane lift off from this place. It was evening and dark and what caught my eye was the sphere being towed by this small airplane. It was internally lit an abou 5 feet across, perhaps 100' feet behind the plane. I watched it fly westward toward schomberg for about 10 minutes. Any ideas?
Airport?!

Great customer service from Windsor Airport's Ken Sawchuck
Letter to the Editor, Windsor Star, April 15th, 2017
Dear Sir / Madam,
In light of the recent United Air fiasco, I would like to share a similar circumstance that happened to me April 3rd at the Windsor Airport. I had purchased a priority assigned seat for the Sunwing flight from Windsor to Cancun scheduled to leave Monday April 3rd. Unfortunately, due to a number of different complications, the flight was overbooked by 1, and I, being the only single traveler was “bumped”. This could have been a disaster however, thanks to Ken Sawchuck at Windsor Airport, who handled the situation honestly and with great consideration for the significant impact it had on my vacation, alternate travel plans were agreed to. Sunwing has also promised to look into the matter and implement actions to correct the problem and prevent the same thing from happening to some-one else. Many thanks to Sunwing, an airline that does care about their customers and understands good customer service, to Ken Sawchuck who sensitively managed a difficult situation, my travel agent Jacqueline Poupard from Valente Travel who was a great resource and to Sunwing’s Yoanky Sosa who managed the details at Cayo Coco airport when I arrived at my alternate destination.
With Regards,
Jayne McMahon,
Windsor, Ontario.
