great place to stop
I stopped at Valemount in my RV9 both on the way from Vancouver to Edmonton and on the reverse. Excellent clear approaches for 14 and 32. There is a small terminal building where you can get a biobreak and 100LL is available self serve. Bring your credit card for the fuel.

History
I lived and went to school in Athabasca back in the early 60s. There used to be a small grass airstrip with a few hangers and some small high wing aircraft. Piper Cub, Fleet 80 or similar. At that age l just wanted to fly. As a retired B737 Jurassic and Classic pilot l took the opportunity to see how Athabasca has changed. What can I say......remarkable and beautiful.
Fuel availabilty
I will be flying into maple creek airport on Friday in the afternoon. is there avgas available or how do I get some?
This airport is no more.
It's not pinin'! it's passed on! This airport is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-AIRPORT!!'
is there any service providing float plane charters out of N
If anyone knows of anyone, please have them contact me - Matt Arnold - mharnold1@outlook.com or mobile 201 774 4746 thx!!!!
Learning to Fly at CSE4
I just started my PPL at CSE4 and the staff is super friendly and welcoming! The food is great and the service is super professional! I was shocked to hear english when I came through the doors! Nothing but positive comments to say about this friendly airport! Beautiful scenery around the airfield and tons of pilots to talk too!
Great little town
Trees at one end need trimming.
Great little airport and town. Quiet. Courtesy car..
Thought I would try it....
I should have listened. Waste of time! Rude worker or owner! I don't know which. Guess they are trying to sell it so don't care anymore. Who would buy it in its current shape???? Niagara on the Lake is THE place to go and just a few minutes away as the plane flies!!!!
Great little air park
If looking for a getaway air park where you can boat, fish and hunt try here.
Facilities
The mine shut down in 1985 and nothing remains at the airport.
Neat location
One of the nicest all grass facilities I have ever seen. Recently visited for the Waco fly-in.
Great little airport - Noone home
Arrived on Friday evening at ~6pm from Barrie. No one was home to answer unicom. Landed and the terminal was empty, they close at 5pm but leave the front open for transient pilots to use the washrooms, get coffee, or borrow a bike if need be. Beware that means there is no one for the fuel pumps and it is $100 to call out (on top of fuel, not waved for min purchase) so if you're arriving after 5 plan accordingly for fuel.
Take off over lake Erie was fun! Great airport, will be back!
Tie-down fees at Millionaire
For a Piper Cherokee-sized plane, the tie-down fee is now $40/night, first night waived with at least 15 gal fuel purchase. Still a good deal for the NY area.
Jet Systems is now Signature West
I just talked to them, and there's still no charge for clearing customs there in a small single-engine piston plane, as long as you're not picking up or dropping off passengers. +1-914-428-3730
Tampa Bay Aviation - KCLW - Clearwater Airpark
Wanted to note the Airpark-KCLW has no ATC and only operates until 11 Pm and reopens at sunrise the following day..
Highway Airstrips in Cuba
All highway airstrips in Cuba are DAAFAR (Cuban Air and air defense forces) alternate airfields, and should be categorized as Military alternate airfields. These are established for wartime use, a practice adopted from the Soviet Union, and lesson of the "Bay Pigs" invasion attempt. They are stretches of roadways (usually national highways) that are long straightaways that can be used by military aircraft. The runway of the closed Cayo Coco airport was incorporated into a new national highway for just this reason. Landing at these alternate airfields is a regular part of DAAFAR pilot training. Civilian use of these roadway alternate airfields is strictly prohibited.

Petawawa NDB (YWA)
I just wanted to state that I've also bin able to hear YWA even in the warmer months, although not as often and not as strong as in the Winter. Additionally, in the warmer months there is usually lightening strike noise to contend with. I monitor 516 kHz several times each night for YWA and about one every two weeks or so in the warmer months I cam hear it. More frequently I hear NAVTEX in 518 coming through all year round. I monitor YWA for year round MF propagation study. 73, George N2CG
Pay the extra for the lounge
Good airport, well set up for what it does. If you are able, spend the CUC$20 per person to go into the lounge area. Air conditioned, unlimited drinks, light snacks and hot sandwiches included in the price.
South Bimini Airport
Look for Condo rentals at Bimini Sands Resort, only 5 minutes fron the airport.
Best Airport in the Bay Area for GA
In my opinion, this is the best airport in the Bay Area for general aviation aircraft. There is a 24 hour self service 100LL fuel, and Jet A is available 24 hours if you call ahead. If you don't call ahead for Jet A, the hours are 8AM to 8PM daily. The tie downs at transient parking are really cheap. 10 bucks a night for a single engine piston and 20 bucks a night for twins and jets. If there is not someone in the office inside the terminal, there is still a way to get ahold of one of the airport ops personal! There is a white box with a red button next to the window of the airports ops office in the terminal. Hold that red button down and when you hear a "beep" talk into the white box and your message will come through one of the airport ops's walkie talkies. ATC is always nice here, and if you don't know where your going, they are always glad to assist you. So if you own a small twin piston (C421) like me, avoid the ridiculous parking and ramp fees and San Jose International Airport KSJC and fly 5 miles south to Reid Hillview Airport KRHV and you will see the differences in quality, and the people there actually care about you unlike KSJC. Sometimes, there are people that marshall your aircraft and chalk your airplane for free if your a transient pilot! Just be sure to fly in IFR so they know you're coming :)
Agreed - Better places to land
Much better to go to NOTL. Better shape, more to do in local area. I won't land here again.
YWA NDB
I heard the NDB this morning 6/6/15 at 0818z on 520KHz from St. Johns, Michigan (grid locator EN73) 520 is as low as I can get my cheapie grundig receiver to go. -Todd KB8OYR
Fuel Price
Fuel price as of May 2015 is $1.469

Not sure why somebody though this website was an appropriate place to rant about his union membership or lack thereof, though.

Guelph airport status May 2015
There are 2 runways: 32/14 is night lit and free to all use; 23/05 is blocked to training due to high trees on approach to 23; there is a parallel grass strip at 23/05. Brampton is no longer training in Guelph, Kitchener may use the 32/14 runway for training. Low lead 100 available, but no source for oil; AME not often on the field.
The restaurant is open and satisfactorily busy.
Unicom (123.00) is not manned; another pilot might give help if requested.
3 point aviation with their tail wheel planes have moved to Kitchener as has the gyrocopter school. The "Tiger Boys" with their Tiger Moths are still located at Guelph.
Menu updated
As the author of a previous post which recommended you do not stop here for food...it has become necessary to update my comments.
I stop here regularly for mogas and one recent evening as it was almost 2200 figured I would try the restaurant. (surprised to see it was still open!)
As I sat down I just said 'burger and fries please'....its usually at that point that I get told that I am in a 'bistro'..and presented with a menu of things like squid gizzard and such. Not tonight
Apparently the menu has been greatly re-tuned (or de-tuned)...now appearing.....burgers, fish&chips etc (all of my favorites!!)
Everything is still 'a-la-bistro' (squareplate fancypants)...but in the case of their burger and fries....that now means 'super-awesome!'
Very highly recommended!!! and service is A++
Growing friendly airport
I have been stationned here since 1994. It is nice to witness a municipal airport in Quebec that is open to bilingualism, not threatened by land-grabing developpers and supported by its town. To wit the explosion of red-roofed hangars over the last 10 years... There has been a change in the management of the airport, restaurant and flying school but it has led to more growth and little change in the service, so all good news. On weekend during the swing seasons, be prepared to encounter some glider activities but the traffic is wide enough and there are no real overflight restrictions that would cause a safety hazard. As for English not being used, I fly in both languages and I have never noticed...
Dining at golf course
Great place to eat at the adjacent golf course during golf season. About a 10 minute walk across the end of the runway then along a fairway.
Went to Hamilton from here
Nice crew car. On the way to Texas. Visited the MSQC,

Customs returning from San Felipe. Greg Porter and his Dad Jim.
Parrsboro airport
It's just a field
Port Hope (Peter's Field)
Very nice grass runways, impeccably kept. North end of North-south runways is being widened and elevated slightly.
No "appears" about it.
It /is/ the only Airport in Montserrat, the previous international airport was destroyed by the volcano.
Nice Little Airport
Flew from there to Kingston.We were in a hurry and hired a guy with a 172. Fun flight over the mountains.

Good Fuel prices
Great Airport for clearing customs
Very nice facility. Very easy to clear customs. Nce pilot loung and very reasonable priced fuel
Great Country Airport
Very close to downtown Durango
Very nice people helped me out with major mechanical issue.
Easy Access
PNS has one Concourse, and one level. As opposed to KBNA, it is effortless to "deplane" & "grab" your checked luggage...transportation is 8 feet outside. T.S.A. Employees very nice, patient, educational. A pleasant "Initial Point of Contact" if visiting Pensacola &/or surrounding area.
B-737
SWA 29 Direct flights daily, then 3x additional for flights that are not "non-stop"
