Re: Petawawa NDB (YWA) Not Heard Since beginning of 2014
There are no current NOTAMs (Notice To AirMen) listing the NDB off the air but there was one in January. CYWA PETAWAWA YWA- NDB 516 U/S 1401101604 TIL 1401312359. Looks like it dropped off the air on January 10th and was scheduled to be fixed by the end of the month.
Petawawa NDB (YWA) Not Heard Since beginning of 2014
Beginning in the early Fall to early Spring every year about and hour after sunset in Northern New Jersey I hear Petawawa NDB "YWA" on 516 kHz almost every evening dependng of propagation conditions. About the first week of January 2014 was the last time I've heard YWA. Is it off the air for maintenance or is it off the air for good. I sent and email to Petawawa Airport a few weeks ago but so far have not received any reply. If anyone knows what happened to YWA please post your reply here. Thanks & 73 George N2CG
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Bet you are still flying high at 70!
And doubtless still saying that if you had known you'd last this long, you would have taken better care of yourself.

SAL airport
it is a cosy airport with very friendly people that work there. when you arrive from Europe than you feel the themperature and when you come outside you hear the animals and smell the country. I love to go there again as soon as possible.
Prospect Lake Airport - Construction 1986.
The airport was born from the need to spray the forest to control Bud Worm infestation. Due to safety requirements, the design had to accommodate a DC3 aircraft. In 1986 the Ministry of Natural Resources and Boise Cascade Canada worked together to accommodate construction. A float-plane dock, 80-person camp, and supporting infrastructure was constructed at the same time. The Prospect Lake Airport is accessible by road. The main roadway route in 1986 was to turn west at the turnoff near Ear Falls, Ontario. The area is very beautiful and accommodates fishing and the opportunity to see lots of wildlife. It was my favourite project and I remember when doing one of the initial surveys, my watch froze taking a Star Shot, to determine the Azimuth of the centreline of the Airstrip.
Deserves to drop behnd Calgary
Arrived 2:00 with a 6:45 AM connecting flight. Went to my departure gate to sleep until boarding, and got rousted out by a security guard. Had to leave the secure area and go back through security. Apparently they hate sleep. I hope they feel like crap that a city 1/3 the size (Calgary) has displaced them as 3rd busiest airport in Canada.
Tiny Rude Airport
This airport's employees are so rude unless your a female. Be ready to have the baggage helpers check you out and assist (sometimes a good thing!) It is small and intimate with cramped Duty Free shops which are sometimes more expensive than normal stores...I don't get it. Easy lay out and usually quick to get through. Its so tiny!
cost of long term parking
need to leave our car for 6 nights. Cost of stay
airport manager
Manager Woody Degan has arrests for narcotics and weapons violations. Has ties to the sovereign citizens movement. Beware.
No Southwest Airlines?
I know for a fact that Atlanta is one of Southwest Airlines' focus cities. How come Southwest Airlines doesn't appear on the routes list?
Parking for pickup
I am very disappointed with the arrangements for arriving passengers who are being picked up at the arrivals door. With the way the taxi parking and limo parking is laid out, there is only room for one or two cars to get to the curb to pick up a waiting passenger. At one point, I pulled into that slot beside another car because my wife was right there waiting. The taxi behind me laid on the horn. The plan for pick up has not been very well thought out and needs an overhaul!! I understand that the taxis need to be close to the arrivals door, but there has to be room for the private drivers to be close as well. I have been there several times, and I see no reason why the taxis can't line up on the far side of the pick up area directly across from the arrival gate. I've been to many airports in North America, but this one is the most unfriendly as far as arriving passengers being picked up by friends or family.

Can Warbonnet Ag Strip be used for powered paragliding ?
My name is Ron and I plan on taking a powered paragliding course. For future reference, I wondered if Warbonnet could be used for powered paragliding and there wasn't a phone #, so I thought I'd leave this message. My email is rheckens@live.com. Thanks for your time on this.
Re: FFZ NDB
The FAA still lists FFZ as active. See http://www.airnav.com/airport/KFFZ and http://www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/navaid-info?type=NDB&id=FFZ&name=FALCON+FIELD for instance.
FFZ NDB
Evidently the FFZ NDB service is no longer there. When was it turned down?
Not What I Expected
I landed but there was no jetway to main terminal - or in this case an old house that looked like something out of Green Acres. I waited for my luggage to arrive but apparently there was no ground crew working that day. Coming from Indiana, I am accustomed to things being a little "backward", but I was not prepared for my encounter with the owner of the airport - CCP. I was wanting to get on my way but he kept going on with stories about meeting Mohammed Ali, and drinking Aquavit with Victor Borgia, and slam jamming some kinda vertical banjo at some German place in his old college town... he went on and on about his boyhood life and adventures in Norway, and cliff diving off the coast of Fredonia, and all the girls he fell in love with and on and on and on and on..... aiy yi yi!!!

GREAT PRACTICE AIRPORT
DURING MY FIRST SOLO THIS WAS MI FIRST SOLO CC AIRPORT, TAKING OFF FROM 19 WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ME BECAUSE THE TREES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY LOOKED DOUBLE THE SIZE THAN WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WERE. MY FIRST SCARY EXPERIENCE.
GREAT PEOPLE
ON A FLIGHT TO (FA71) The Cedars Airfield MY SON GOT AIRSICK AND THREW UP ALL OVER THE AIRPLANE SO I HAD TO DEVIATE THE FLIGHT AND LAND IN CRYSTAL RIVER AIRPORT, A SMALL AIRPORT WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE A GREAT HEART, THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS AT THE FBO COUNTER JUST GAVE ME THE KEYS TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING AND WITH A FRIENDLY TONE OF VOICE SAID TO "TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS BUDDY" WHICH MY SON QUICKLY ACCEPTED SINCE HE HAD TO THROW OUT HIS SHIRT, WELL AFTER BUYING FROM THEM A NEW SHIRT AND CLEANING MY RENTAL I FLEW BACK TO APOPKA.
VISITED DURING TRAINING
ORLANDO EXECUTIVE IS AN AIRPORT THAT IS STUDENT FRIENDLY, WHAT DO I MEAN BY THIS? SOME AIRPORTS THAT YOU VISIT AS A PILOT ARE NOT TO KEEN IN HELPING YOUNG INSPIRING OR NEW PILOTS AND THE TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS SCARE THE HELL OUT OF THEM, ORLANDO EXECUTIVE BEING A BUSY AIRPORT (AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS TRAFFIC) IS VERY EASY TO ENTER ITS AREA OF OPERATION FIRST TO THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ON DUTY, THEY ARE ALL VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL. THE PEOPLE IN SHOWALTER FBO ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL FRIENDLY AND ORIENTED TO HELP ANYONE.

Maple Airport CA-0010
An old Aircraft Journey Log I have for Piper Cherokee C-FYSZ says that D Gould landed at Maple on April 25, 2001 at 12:14hrs. It must have been on a dirt strip. The airplane seems to have been based there for quite some time. Does anyone remember what the previous ICAO designator for Maple was? It was probably CN... something.
Aerodrome
Landed here in the summer of 2013. Pilots beware! Runways are gravel and not very well maintained.

deceitful and rude
Chandler Air Service is owned and operated by Diana Walkup and her husband. She did not like the fact that my husband objected to the $12 per night tie down service (which equates to more than a hangar rental) when we spoke with the FBO lineman, so she called the Chandler police. She was not even a witness to our conversation with the lineman, but simply didn't like the fact that he complained. She did, however, wait until AFTER we had purchased $700 in fuel and paid for the several days of tie down before she made the complaint and had us served with a Trespass Notice - attempting to ban us from the airport for a year (not that it is even legal for her to do so). She acted with deceit and malice. This FBO should be avoided at all costs.

Modern building, free parking, Silver Airways staff very friendly.
Airport is beautiful - Restaurant not great
The airport is very nice, and has 24hr cardlock that takes interac. (most in area are just visa)
Could use a couple more lights on apron after dark.
Restaurant is not really a restaurant. Will not find any burgers or steaks on this dinner menu...just a lot of overpriced Bistro type food. (they have a chef...when all you really need a cook...or a BBQ)
If you are looking for fancy-shmancy downtown Bistro food (in the middle of nowhere)...it is a very nice place...if you are looking for a burger, or fish and chips...do not stop here.
Staff
This FBO is one of the friendliest ones in we have been to in Central Texas. They are over the top in helpfulness from he line guys to the desk.
Great experience flying in and out of TME.
Arrival Listings
How could AC 7517 from Montreal to Toronto not even be listed?

wild rose airport
A grass strip (2 runways) in Wild Rose, WI. Flew in here one day and there was an ultralight event going on. Not much nearby to go to unless you have bikes or know someone in the area.
Tampa Base
Great place to go but no fuel. Very smooth water and owner will allow free dockage and help with rental car.
Number on sectional wrong: 813-927-1691 is a better number
re: is this a good place
Since nobody but Iran still flies f-14s, I'm suspicious of your motives for asking. :-)
