Nice little strip
Courtesy car, food nearby. Remote and peaceful.
traffic patterns
When Griffiss was an active military base, the traffic pattern was kept to the north side of the runway: Left traffic for r/w 15 and right traffic for r/w 33. This kept the low flying aircraft away from the Rome Hospital andresidential areas of the town. Nowadays, it seems there is no traffic pattern of any kind with C-5s and C-17s roaring over the town and hospital at what appears to be lower than normal altitudes. What's going on? Are the old traffic patterns no longer published?
on final
nice crosswinds be on your toes

NDB MPR 227 kHz Decommissioned
Decom July 2013
a jem of an airpark
we found the 2 runways very smooth for turf. great place to visit and tie-down for awhile.its a small airport with a lot of potential to be a very busy place of interest. the flying club there r very helpful gang of flyers.all in all its a cool place to touch-down and hang out on the huge deck over looking the runways
re: Poor food choices
you serious ? Vancouver has to be the worse airport for Duty Free.....Bourbon and Cuban cigars they have NO idea and they move at a snails pace
gimme the east coast any day
Public or Private?
Not sure if this is a public airport. Anyone have any idea?
Love the free landing
It's nice to land at an airport that wants the business for their community, CYPD is a friendly airport, cheaper fuel, no landing fees for private light aircraft as specified in their literature. However, like all airports as a port of entry make sure you know the entry procedures and when customs will serve you and the associated costs.

Fishing
Where is the best fly in lake for trophy northern pike fishing?
Landing at the Airport
Some years ago I had the pleasure of landing and taking off again from the old air base. One runway was not too bad considering its age, but I believe it's probably deteriorating quickly now. I remember when the hangers were there sad to see them all gone now.
re: ICAO identifier
Reply to @ptomblin: It is "Panama Pacifico"; I'm sure 100% because just on this month.... I'm flying daily in this airport. Actually I don't know how we could update the name in this website. Ciao ciao.
re: ICAO identifier
Reply to @antongervax: Is it "Howard Airport", or is it "Panama Pacifico" as my Eurocontrol data has it?
NOISE NUISANCE
Please stop flying over Lake Simcoe. It is as you comment below says (those living in the trailor park) utterly annoying and completely destroying the peace and solitude of the lake.
ICAO identifier
ICAO identifier of this airport now is "MPPA".
767-300 parking
There might be room to park between BB BA on III-b
Woo Hoo!
Hot high great camping strip! Look forward to going back!
Nice little airport.
Stopped for fuel, before tank was topped off the fuel person had gotten me a car and a reservation at the Pioneer motel in town.
Food
Great restaurant!
Not as scary as you might think.
Great place to rent a car (or borrow) to drive to Fisherman's Wharf.
this airport is closed
this airport has been closed for about 3 yrs
good general aviation airport
lots of aircraft, good prices on fuel 100ll and mogas, mechanical services available. although there are skydivers on the field it does not seem to be a problem. consult CFS for circuits
Madawaska Valley Airpark
beautiful area
Mogas
They have Mogas available.

Burning man!
Amazing place to fly to! You got to go some time!
custom checking bags on yourr way back from colombia
I go to colombia every month and I feel so bad when I came back because they have no respet for the travelers one thing is them doing they job as a custom officer and another thing they taking everything out bag put it all over the table them when they are done they tell you put it back in like if you work at the airport after giving me the face like if you dont do it I put you in jail. I think that no atraveler should be treat by a custom oficer unless is doing something wrong.
Vancouver wa
Cool
Free Parking.
Ideal Place for Corporate Overnights into Asia or US
It is only 20 NM from Honolulu International but
Honolulu is so busy there is little parking space and very
expensive - $1,000 / night for large jets.
Here you have competitive fuel rates, free parking and
a friendly FBO.
Ask for Fred Turshman.......tell him the other Fred sent you
Nice airport
I took (and passed) my Checkride here.
Checkride stop
landed here on my checkride
I think this field is closed
Closed
fun day at the airport.
Would like to know if you are going to have fun day at the airport this year.Had a very nice day .Watching planes coming in for a landing and having a change to take a close up look of all the planes.
24h fuel!
Very friendly reception, reasonable fuel prices, and self-service to boot (use your credit card at the pump). 24h fuel access means you don't need to worry about getting there before the FBO closes. Wish more airports had fuel services liket his.
re: Your marker is off.
You should notify the FAA then, because this site has it the same place the FAA puts it - 41.2667N, 80.76645W
Your marker is off.
It needs to be moved about 2 inches to the right in this image.
There is no belledune airport
I have lived in and around belledune N.B all my life 22years and there is not nor has there ever been a Belledune airport. Nor to my knowing is there plans at any time in the future for there to be one.
E-8 Tank Battery
The food is not up to par with E-5 battery. E-8 needs more things to do for the kids and not much shopping in the area
Hastings Field
Hastings Field named after gentlemen who built it. He has since passed away and his son John Hastings looks after it now though it and the 45 acres it sits on are for sale.
Gillies Bay
Nice asphalt strip. Call Ravenous Raven Cafe and they will pick up and drop off at strip.
Buttonville update August 2013
Buttonville is a great little airport if your coming into the Toronto area or just need to clear customs and head north.
There are two Falcon 7X's, 1 Falcon 50EX, 1 Falcon 20, 2 Falcon 10, 1 Learjet 45, 1 Citation XL, 1 Citation Mustang, and 1 Eclipse EA500 based on the field, couple of King Airs, some Cheyennes, and 200 + GA aircraft.
It's easier to get downtown Toronto from here than from Pearson, it's get a great FBO, a restaurant, flight lounge, passenger lounge, aviation store, very friendly and helpful staff.
Due to ongoing sample tests for future construction, it appears the airport will still be open for another couple of years - so 2015.
re: Back up in 2012
Yes it's open again. Aug 2013. The grass is mowed and the runway markers are layed out. I flew from there 2 weeks ago.
re: Sky Writing
Hello mysterious one does the word GISHWHES mean anything to you
Sky Writing
Very strange request....
Is there any chance that a pilot could some quick sky writing for me? Cost?
Waste

Great example of our bloated wasteful government. Over staffed by government workers for "TWO" airline passengers? Really!? Small wonder we're broke.
