Closed
Seems closed now though there are still some (shells of?) planes by the parking lot.
Airport name
The actual name in Spanish for this airport is "El Gallito"
Frenchy
Frenchy was my grandfather, I grew up in his office and listened to all his stories, they were the best! I was blessed to have him in my life. Arthur W. Plante IV
Christiansen Field
Great aerodrome 1800 ft Not for every airplane
re: Raytheon Heliport does not exist
The FAA still shows the heliport as active. They also show the location as "Estimated", so it's likely to be in those office buildings nearby. But this wouldn't be the first time nobody bothered to notify them when a private airport/heliport went away.
Raytheon Heliport does not exist
Raytheon no longer has offices nearby, and in any case, the location given for this heliport is a residential neighborhood.
29NC
This private airstrip has been deactivated at this location. 29NC has been reassigned to a private strip near Hillsborough, NC.
Former Owner
New runway
Just expanded. Now has a 7000x100 runway with full instrument approach capabilities. Brand new FBO operated by Daniel Cleary.
Restaurant
For a very low traffic airport, the restaurant is amazing
Kimsquit airstrip
Was built back in the coastal logging camp days, has been unserviceable off and on due to logs and rocks placed on it to deter users apparently. More of a super cub strip now.
There is an airstrip just n.e of the same bay by the dean riverside which is usable

Challenging...
Leismer aerodrome service
Elite, fast and efficient service, free coffee and a pinball machine in the waiting room A++
New Airport
Opened November 2015
Nice and big
I went there the other night, it was very quite at about 19:30 local time. The MF frequency was unmanned but just used it as an uncontrolled airport. Very easy to see at night, lights are sufficient. Keep in mind that runway 05 has a displaced threshold, it is lighted very well to show you it is displaced.

The most disrespectful wild life harassing people I have ever met chasing moose on horse back and with air plane is not legal

Pilot's License

IATA code confirmation please?
I just added the IATA code ESP to this airport, and I'm not 100% sure. IATA code lookup shows ESP assigned to "Birchwood-Pocono" in East Stroudsburg, which has been closed since 1996: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birchwood-Pocono_Airpark) However, a few non-authoritative sources have ESP assigned to this airport (do a Google search for "N53 ESP"). Can anybody please confirm this change?
Very Nice Airport and Owner
Visited this airport earlier this fall.
Very convenient to downtown and very helpful owner
Great Airport
Easy to use and easy access to downtown Montreal
Pascan was a very reasonably priced FBO
Helpful and cooperative !!
Expensive AOE
Montreal area airports are a real rip off for the Ramp fees for a brief stop to satisfy Canadian customs
Beautiful calm lake in paradise, by a golf course, on an per
We landed our PC12, parked in front of the picturesque log cabin we rented through VRBO.COM, dropped our bags and headed to the golf course next door for a great lunch and 9 holes. The concierge of our stay had a fully equipped ski boat parked at our reserved boat slip as promised. We experienced the most incredible week of water skiing, golfing and adventures our family has ever had. We must try to replicate that amazing experience again.
No Longer Operational
A farmer bought this property and never bothered to go through the process of getting it changed to a non operational status. The landing strip has been tilled and is used as farm ground.
re: re: closed?
Reply to @dmomper: It's data that the CoPilot app for iPhone pays for which I'm not allowed to share with the rest of the world except through the iPhone app. I'd love to give a full dump to this site, but I'll have to settle for just manually verifying things people say in the comments.
re: closed?
Reply to @ptomblin: Thanks for the quick confirmation! What is the EAD data that you refer to? Is this a publicly available source on airport info?
re: closed?
Reply to @dmomper: It was in EAD data up until 2015-06-29 with ICAO code 'MMPO", but now it's gone.
closed?
As best I can tell, this airport has no actual code assigned. Doing a code search on IATA's site (http://www.iata.org/publications/Pages/code-search.aspx) for PNO yields no results. I suspect the airport might be closed. Can anybody else verify?
Taxi
During my visit (1–2 October 2015), it was $20 (US $15) for a taxi into downtown Fredericton.
Great stop
Great fuel prices, great lounge, bunk beds, and a great van. Please take advantage I tell them how nice it is.
Great Little Airport!
Stopped in there on Saturday 9/26/15 for a BBQ they were having which we were told about at the Gettysburg Airport pancake breakfast. Everyone there was so nice and friendly. It felt like someone was having a BBQ in their backyard and Oh, by the way, we have an airport here too. They were even giving free plane rides.
Looks like a great place to have a house and have your plane in your own hangar at home.
Contact Info

Marked closed

Air Base at Dog Creek
My father was stationed at Dog Creek upon his return from WWII as an evader, prisoner and escapee. After he married my Mom, he had to hide her on the base as no women were allowed! He tells me the men saved their beer rations, pooled them together and drank them after VE Parade in Williams Lake. He was there from late 1944 to about the fall of 1945, when he was discharged from the Air Force.
My husband and I were in the Dog Creek area today, September 1, 2105, and spoke with a First Nation local, who directed us out of town to the site, but we could find no evidence of the airport.
AVGAS AVAILABLE IN IQALUIT (CYFB)
1 drum of avgas available in Iqaluit. date 2015/08/30
FBO
The FBO is still run by FlightLevel, but is now located in the former base ops building (aka the old control tower) at the north end of the runway.
sightseeing flight
hi I was wondering if there would be anybody that has a plane in Guelph for 2 people to go up in the air for a short ride
is this really an airport
We were flying from Huntington to Indiana last week and stopped at Vinton County for the first time since Manyak took care of the place. I used to fly into this airport a lot and was shocked at what I found. There are people, as far as I can tell, actually living at the airport. There's garbage and dirty clothes everywhere and it looks like a clubhouse or something. Part of the ceiling had collapsed. My wife said it was actually frightening to go into what is left of the terminal. And don't even ask about the smell.
Contact Info
Who is running the Belleville Airport? Is there contact info avalible?

re: No Avgas at Iqaluit currently
