Helipad was constructed in 2024 after the closure of CYKZ
Not listed in the CFS
Despite what the golf club's wesite says, this helipad is not registered and listed in the CFS
re: "Dangerous" airport
Reply to @david: I feel like the pilots going into St Barts enjoy the challenge. That hill being on approach due to prevailing winds seems utterly wild, but the frequency of incidents here is lower than many other more "conventional" airfields.
Anonymous flyer problem report
2024-12-15 21:13:30
We sat on our plane for over an hour waiting for the truck to come and de-ice our plane then it ran out of de-icer and didnโt com back for over another hour! We were not updated and why is there not more support to de-ice planes? This is not good practice, customer service or acceptable for us to have to sit here for over 2 hours. I personally had to try to rearrange my transportation from the airport as I had a previously scheduled van pick up. Everyone is very frustrated.
R/C Strip
Possibly briefly in use as a STOL strip, but not to be confused with the Aruba Flying Club airfield (De Vuijst Field) which was active from 1942 through the 1970s, to the south or the Palo Marga drag strip to the north, which hosted one landing and takeoff of a Canadian Learjet air ambulance 24 May 2006 which mistook Palo Marga for Queen Juliana International Airport (big whoops).
Aerodrome operational
Contact Trafico Altamirano on 122.500. Runway has loose gravel, but otherwise in good condition. Watch for animals on runway.
Drove in Flew out
Purchace and airplane here.
Runway 08T-26T
Note that the runway designations end in "T" because they're based on true rather than magnetic headings; that's standard for airports in the high Arctic.
Operated by the U.S.
This is a U.S. military base, operated within NATO under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
Not to be confused with Hamilton Municipal Airport
Hamilton Municipal Airport (KMNZ) has the FAA LID "MNZ", identical to this airport's IATA code, which confuses flight-tracking sites. Note that "HEF" is the FAA LID for Manassas Regional, but *not* the IATA code.
Not to be confused with Manassas Regional Airport
Manassas Regional Airport (KHEF) has the IATA code MNZ, which is identical to the FAA LID for this airport (the FAA LID for Manassas is HEF). This confuses most flight-tracking sites.
Heliport closed
No one lives in the village any longer, so the heliport has been closed. See Wikipedia link

Never opened
This multimillion dollar facility never took off. See Wikipedia article for one of the most ill-fated military aviation facilities in American history.
MMPE identifier reassigned
MMPE is now Mar de Cortรฉs International Airport.
CLOSED!!!
As of January 1st, 2025, the airport is permanently closed. Nothing says honoring history like paving over the past. May the new owners fail miserably and never need to travel anywhere by air.

re: airline info to hOBBY
Southwest, use that guy from 8 years ago
re: Closed
Reply to @Fadamor: Per your problem report: "The only thing remaining of the runway are broken bits of asphalt. Pilots wishing to fly into Raton, NM should use KRTN about 8 miles to the south of the former NM67."
Dulles Aviation Closed
KHEF is undergoing a major renovation on the West Ramp and in the future for the East Ramp. The Dulles Aviation Building and the neighboring hangar have been razed. The current plan is to upgrade the West Apron for more turbine services. Additionally, the Airport Management are working with the FAA to get scheduled passenger service using narrow-body aircraft (B737, A320, etc.) Currently those plans aren't expected to bear fruit for five years or so.
Closed
This airstrip used to provide service to the La Mesa Park (Horse) Racetrack that was located just across the street to the north. The racetrack and airstrip operated from 1946 to 1992.
Great food stop
In-n-out burger 10 minute walk from the field!
USA misconception
I was searching up "USA" just trying to find all the airports of the USA and this popped up.
Freaking out when Landing
When I was landing at 08L, I thought the plane will take an emergency landing! (I was on United 789, a 777-2000
Glamping available here!
The owner has some tents setup on platforms for a deluxe flyin camping experience!
Wounderful day destination
Flew in, rented a bike and peddled to a selection of restaurants.
A fun flight!
Beware the density altitude, the runway is shorter than many are accustomed to.
Most supportive operations experience
In Jan 2022 in what I recall was zero degree conditions, the operations manager made sure I was able to get my plane moved, warmed and able to depart.
Great destination airport. Nearby is the Iron B&B. Perfect base location to fly the Loring and Frenchville triangle of northern Maine.
24 hr SS 100LL and no fees at the time I utilized this airport.
Runway 32 approach is dramatic
The airport is on a bluff, much hgher the the surrounding terrain. The approach end of runway 32 is the most dramatic example of the land elevation difference.
This is the most northern of the northern Maine triangle of scenic airports. Caribou and historical Loring being the other 2.
I've cleared into the US here as well.
Nice destination, convention customs entry
Last time I visited was 2022, so comments might no longer apply.
Cleared in from Canada here. Comfortable operations building with 24hr access. No fees.
Wounderful destination...
Nestled next to Massachusetts highest peak, Mt Greylock, the operations building has 24 hr access to facilities, S.S. 100LL and parking.
No additional fees that I'm aware of.
Well Maintained Smooth Grass strips
Well Maintained Grass strips with frequent flyins. Wont disappoint for the tailwheel pilot. Low power lines on the north end of rwy 36
Parts Run
Delivered some parts to our work crew that was in the area.
Consider Carefully!
Tribal airport. Do not confuse this with IG4 Grand Canyon West.
Search "Tribe Stole my Plane" on YouTube.
re: frg
Reply to @sr22pilot1: Hi, just moved to NYC, I'm a commercial rated pilot needing to get back into it after years of inactivity. Looking for a school an glad for any kind of recommendation. Was flying 172s and small Pipers. Looking to get a multi endorsement and get serious about IFR currency.
Flew in early to beat the rush.
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.

OMG so weird!!

All I have to say is there are amazing vending machine snack options. 10/10.
Shortest Commercial Runway
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.
A great recreational airfield!
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!
