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?

They were my Grandparents.
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. :-)
is this a good place
would this runway be sufficient for a f-14b grumman tomcat to take off?
Fun fly in
When reading comments from Anonymous posters, one should probably consider the source. Except, you can't. Because it's anonymous, likely for good reason. 57Alpha Cafe is alive and well, open for business, and this airport is a great day trip destination. We had a wonderful experience there last weekend, beautiful area… support GA!
Proper Name
Fixed. Thanks. And welcome to the website.

I love it.
Cooking lake Airport is developing lots for up to 20 new han
In October 2013, the airport began construction of 3 new taxiways and access roads for 20 new hangar lots. The airport has been there since 1926 and just keeps getting better - its a casual, fun and friendly place to hang out with fellow flyers.
Wonderful airport BUT
Runway in good but WAVY condition
Everything else is great including reasonable priced fuel
Great airport
Spent a few days visiting Marfa
Called the towns visitor center that provided transportation into town
Good FBO facility and runway in good conditions. Even have an instrument approach !!!
Great Service
This is a real gem of an airport especially if visiting downtown Memphis
Great fuel prices although priced as self service ..they do the work.
Excellent repair facility and very fair prices
AWOS
8W2 has a new AWOS 540-740-3801 & 118.175
Porter airlines
I think it would be in the best interest to have porter fly into Kingston. I have many corporate colleges that are wondering why they cannot fly into kingston from Toronto, Montreal and as far as that goes from down east as well. I think it is about time this should be entertained.
Thanks
Guelph charters
To the best of my knowledge there are no charter operations out of Guelph which no longer has an active flying school although Brampton makes some use of it with a Cessna 152.
It might be possible to arrange a flight using a twin from Kitchener to pick up the parties in Guelph.
Currently the restaurant is closed, a lease is on offer, the building is closed, the Unicom is not manned, NORDO planes use whichever runway suits their purpose. There is an outside pay phone.
A nice AirPort
It is a nice airport
Allow *lots* of time for international connections
While I like flying into Dulles as a private pilot, I had a very bad experience here as a passenger changing planes. I arrived on an international flight from Switzerland last Saturday, on time, with a scheduled 2-hour stopover. By the time I lined up for US immigration, lined up for the exit from the baggage area, then lined up again for a second security screening (totally unnecessary, since we'd never left the secure area), I'd used up most of the stopover time, and my next flight had already boarded. I made it on board after a very long run, but just barely.
So if you're switching from an international flight at Dulles, 2 hours is barely enough -- I'd suggest leaving more if you can, at least until the airport decides to stop abusing passengers with redundant security screenings.
Quick visit
I changed planes here last Saturday on a long, multi-leg United Airlines trip from Geneva to Tucson. I didn't have much time to look around, but it wasn't too long a walk to my connection, and I had a chance to buy a smoothie on the way. Most food places were still open Saturday evening, which was nice.
Taxis
I arrived in TUS late Saturday night on a delayed United Airlines flight. I suspect we were the last flight in. The airport was mostly empty, aside from a few cleaners, security staff, etc., but there were still a lot of taxis waiting outside at the queue, which was a relief.
I have a good souvenir of this airport ,landed in 1998 OORT

Great grass strip
Nicely groomed airfield
My home airport
Great training airport close to Miami
Best Grass Strip EVER!
We easily landed our PC-12 and parked in front of the rental at the Mabel Lake Lodge we found at VRBO and mabellakelodge.com. The lake has beautiful sandy beaches, great golfing, the calmest water for skiing and amazing fishing. One last piece of virtually untouched paradise.
Literally like landing on a golf green and we can park our C
2900 feet of irrigated golf green maintained by the professionally designed (renowned course architect Les Furber ) Mabel Lake Golf Resort and Airpark. Twin Comanche, Caravans, PC-12s, Cirrus, Cessna and Piper are common aircraft landing here throughout the spring and summer.

stopover
Highly recommend stopping in here. Very friendly folks and modern facility. Love the crew car, its a VW. Good price for fuel also.
chartering
Am I able to charter a plane/pilot to fly two families to Quebec city from guelph??
Great Self Service Prices
First time that I arrived to buy gas that the price was LESS than advertised.
Great facility, nice lunch restaurant.
Easy quick turn.
Great Service
Landmark Aviation has a very well trained courteous and efficient staff
Rented a car from Hertz on premises. They had car brought right to plane minutes after we shut down !!
That is what I call service !!!

banaster flying
wondering how much it would cost to fly a banaster in Guelph?
Yes, it's legit.
The FAA thinks there is an private airstrip here. There are literally thousands of private airstrips in the United States, and many of them don't look like much on Google Maps.
Really?
I don't see any airport. Austinia was a town on Dollar Point in what is now Texas City several miles from here.
BW521 30-Oct-13
Good day,
Your flight arrival status was not updated nor did it show the late arrival of this flight.
The effort to provide users with flight information is welcomed; however accurate information on the flight's status is welcomed as this would be helpful to persons who are dropping off and picking up passengers.
Thank you.
I AGREE TOOOOO
This place is in the middle of nowhere. Felt like I had just landed in the Ozarks. Had a much better time in NOTL. Thanks for the suggestion!
Would not recommend at all!
Gander hospitality
Our USAirways flight from Dublin to Philadelphia was diverted to Gander due to mechanical problems. The staff at Gander was extremely friendly and welcoming. They added a second internet connection and kept the café open. Thank you for your hospitality.
