Excellent Airport BUT
The security system is a pain the butt.
You can not go through security with passengers unless you have a stamped flight plan and it is a LONG walk for the security gate the the COmandante's office.
Good restaurant and helpful avionics and maintenance people on the field.
Reasonable landing fees and parking.
Easy access to fuel but some personel have an attitude and are always on Mexican Time.

Good service received
On Monday July 19th myself and a friend flew into Port Elgin airport. The plan was to go to lunch at Lord Elgin Fish and Chip Restaurant.
The gentleman on duty at the airfield, I believe his name was Bill , was kind enough to drop us at the restaurant on his way home for lunch, and then
pick us up on his return to work.
I needed fuel so I started up my plane and taxied over to the fuel pump. All gassed up now, and I was faced with a dead battery.
No worries . Bill initially tried to hand prop the plane , when that was unsuccessful he tried to charge the dead battery from the one in his truck. Unfortunately that didn’t work either , so he then boosted me with the truck. The engine roared to life and off we went.
Just wanted to thank him again for going above and beyond the call . Thanks Bill !!

Crop dusters
Any regulations for crop dusters? One is flying so low over our house and trees. We have a licensed wildlife rehab and bird sanctuary, and our birds are actually getting hurt trying to avoid his regular low flyovers. Number C-GFTS.

re: Data problem
Reply to @ptomblin:
Me again, I noticed the quarry while looking for Hilltop... maybe you'd want to leave the entry to let people know it's not a real airport... it's mentioned on quite a few web sites.
re: Data problem
Reply to @ptomblin:
I'm notifying Google to see if they'll take it off Maps... i'd love to know how this came to pseudo-existence but I suspect I never will :P
re: Data problem
I'm going to close this unless somebody objects.

Reply to @ptomblin:
Is anybody cares this is a quarry, seems to have been one since 1995... very bumpy for landing.
3.5 nauticals from les cedres
the airport is 3.5 nauticals from les cedres airport.....
I suspect possible conflicts in the patters if flying a large one.
Logan Fees and Fuel Prices.
Out of curiosity just checked on skyvector. The fuel prices are also extremely hefty in Logan and in Bedford/Hanscom. On average Massport is charging USD 2.50 - 3.00 more than the surrounding fields. Maybe the FAA need to be informed about that and on top of this all Massport run airports should be boycotted by GA and business aviation. Beverly, Lawrence, Norwood, Marshfield are still very good alternatives and with a little coordination with their local FBO's transportation to downtown is not a problem.
delta service to detroit no longer available
:(
Original Name
This airstrip was originally named George Campert Memorial Airport in honor of the builder's brother who died when his USAF bomber crashed in Holland (I believe it was Holland) back in WWII. It's a shame the new owner had to change the name.
Charlottesville Airport
This is a nice airport for the Jet Set. Landmark Aviation has
friendly service people.....
However, the security issues make it not a really good place
for making friends, learning to fly, and the way things used
to be in aviation.
Other airports around are somewhat better for these purposes
such as Orange, Gordonsville, Eagles Nest (Waynesboro)
Well maintained
This airport is a very nice airport,i just didn't like the waiting for your plane room. I felt like a fish in a fish tank.
KDPA - DuPage, West Chicago
Excellent airfield and controllers.
I was there
I was there in 1978 and 1979
re: Hastings Field
I'm trying to find the name of the person who recently cut the airstrip in Jul 2013. I own a nearby one-acre field in Port Washington which desperately needs cutting and can't find anyone to do it.
Thanks,
Jan
re: IATA and ICAO Codes
Reply to @ptomblin: You are, of course, quite correct. My balls up!
re: IATA and ICAO Codes
Reply to @trasher: No, PAPN is the ICAO code for Pilot Point Airport, not Pilot Station.
IATA and ICAO Codes
Pilot Station Codes are PIP and PAPN
Closed...once again.
Sadly, the airport is now closed. Hopefully it will rise from the ashes once again.

Airport Website
Cuba have excellent Web design. Why you don't do it a better an more informative Website? This really mediocre an no professional web.
Improve this guys , you can do it!!!
Thank you.
Density altitude
I got checked out here last week. It was only 80F and the density altitude was already above 9000 ft! It took most of the lake to fly a pattern - be careful on warm days!
It is completely worth it if you're careful. Beautiful, and you're right in the middle of town.

I live there
My great grandfather earl mosier made it for an airport and eventually we moved in and he stopped flying in and out of it but it is now closed down because my family the bertoldi a currently live there and my mother Cindy mosier is his grand daughter. Just thought somebody would want to here some interesting family history of this airport,my house.
Excellent FBO
The Richmor FBO (soon to change owner) is in a delightful ex-military building. Excellent good service on 3 flights getting around NYC.
Lakefront
As of June 2013 the airport is in great shape (Flightline First is a lovely FBO). The best way to arrive at a still-great city.
Practice Field
When I was a student back in 1987 it was a great little field at which to practice.
There was nothing to distract a student pilot.
The short runways are ideal for practicing short field landings and departures.
April - Spring Boy Scout Camporee
Again, thank you all for the co-operation during the Spring Boy Scout Camporee. May you have a great year and GOD bless you all! Again, thanks for all that everyone did to make it such a success!
Great place for skydiving
Been there 2x with friends... haven't jumped yet though, too scared.
Flew in and visited TX42
Wow, they have a paved runway and taxiway and hangars being built and a lot of activity, friendly people.
re: Close to Edmonton and price of fuel
Cooking Lake Airport is now being operated by the hanger owners at Cooking Lake. The owners took over the airport from Edmonton Airports on October 1, 2012. The airport does not receive any grants from local (Strathcona) or provincial governments - unlike many of the other airports across the country. The airport is home to 73 hangers and around 200 aircraft. There is a new website for the airport - cookinglakeairport.com
