Black Hole
Worst black hole at night I have ever encountered. 24000TT 18000TT Alaska Bush
Nice place to discover
Vulcan is a bit of challenge to discover, sitting "in the middle of nowhere", close to a little town next to a railroad. When approaching from the West, main runway looks as long as the town itself!
There is no doubt when you find Vulcan, as its name is written in huge white letters on the ramp. I haven't stop there yet, just touch and go's - but the place looks clean, nice, and well maintained. Reasonably wide, long, asphalt runway in a very good condition, easy approaches.
NDB sitting next to the runway is... well... not really useful. I mean, when you finally get a steady signal, it means that you are just a couple of miles from the field. Should be interesting to shoot some training approaches, though.
Sleepy Airport
I have been to High River twice, always in winter, and found it hibernated. Looks like there is a community somewhere, but I wasn't able to catch up with them.
Runway is huge, long, clean and well maintained. Note the long displaced thresholds, though. And caution with crosswinds, these can be quite intense as the prairie around is flat for miles and miles around!
Easy to find, with clean approaches and light traffic - though somehow there was always someone on the frequency (or in the circuit) when I was flying there.
Friendly ATC
I've only been to CYHM for touch and go's, but flew through their airspace and near it quite frequently while going to Niagara area and back - day and night, winter and summer.
Airport itself is large, way too much than average GA pilot may ever need - and located in a strategically excellent spot. Easy to find, and though there is a lot (as in - a lot!) of through and local traffic, never a problem to deal with thanks to an excellent, very professional ATC. Thanks guys, you set the standards in my books! Few controlled airspaces I've been to are as friendly and comfortable to deal with.
FBO Services
It was very cold, but FBO crew was helpful in arranging our rental car and hangar storage.

Sorry we missed your post, there is no licensed aviation mechanic at the club but there are a lot of knowledgeable people that can answer your questions and show you around.
The nearest airports with certified mechanics with a service shop are Hamilton International, Burlington Airpark and York Airfield
Hope this helps

Perfect Landing
I love to come here before I fly in my Cirrus SR22!
Airport Closed
The land owner has sold the property and closed the airport
re: luggage inspection
They can go through it after you pick it up because you don't go through customs until you have your luggage in hand. I have gone through customs there many times and have never had my luggage checked. Maybe you looked a little suspecious to them. Illegal drugs are not allowed in the country; there not allower in the Us and Canadas either. You will be arrested.
CYLS
I wrote to the FAA about the fact that they still have this listed as CNB9, and they wrote me back asking exactly when it changed. The person asking said "I need this information to track down in what AIRAC Canada publication it was modified for FAA's history file and as an authorized source to update of FAA (NASR) data base." Anybody here know when it changed?

Flight School
There will be a informational meeting about the upcoming Flight School to be held Feb 12, 2013 at the terminal building at Killam/Sedgewick Airport. Stop by at 7:00pm. The host will be Border City Aviation out of Lloydminster. Phone Steve if you need more info.
Misc info for 1st timers.
FYI, you cannot park your plane here. If you need to drop passengers off, you will need to relocate down to Hewanorra to park. And it takes almost 2 hours to drive up to the north end of the island from Hewanorra. Get a taxi, do not attempt to drive yourself, unless you want to die young! And make sure you get a clearance before you start engines.

Cafe
Great cafe on this airport. Friendly personnel. Lots of hangar folks to visit too.
Pitt Meadows Airport
Love the Airport. Friendly people.
Airport Identifier incorrect.
YSN is the identifier for St. Catherines airport in Ontario (near Niagara Falls).
CDK - Cekar Key - FL
Still a challenging little strip with sea breezes. Town of Cedar key (shops, eateries, etc) is a bit depressed for past few years.
KSGJ - St Augustine Airport - FL
Nice Airport along Florida's East Coast - Florida Flyers very helpful with local flying information, tips. Enjoyed a coast line sightsee - views are fantastic.
KGNV - Gainesville - FL
An easy to locate airport, NE of City, North tip of Newnans Lake. Friendly controllers. Was able to use an available hanger over holidays free of charge (did buy fuel though).
BC Airlines float base on Powell Lake 1957-58
Maurie Mercer was BC Airlines base pilot on Powell Lake in 1958 when I was working for Bill Gaston at the little Shell station there. Mauie gave me my first airplane ride. It was a Cessna 170.. I would love to know the call letters of that airplane and locate a picture of it too if anyone has one. I can be reached at jpveale@shaw.ca Thanks
Customs
Can customs/immigration clearance be available for an incoming flight from Canada?
airport and surrounding
Beautiful place!!!
Run up pads
We have removed the west runup pad and replaced it with grass.
Would you believe...
The FAA still has this listed as CNB9 instead of CYLS. I've sent them an update.
Sticky Fingers! (Sky Harbor Airport)
Sky Harbor is a good and nice Airport, but one thing is don't leave anything behind! I forgot something that was about $200 on a chair at one of the gates...My plan was the last one to land and they were closing it all down for the night since it closed at 1am! My plan landed at 12:30 and I didn't get off till 12:50. I was the last one on the plane to get off. When walking to get my bag the only one behind me was the guy at the ticket stand and some cleaning people! I notice I left my tablet and went back after only 15 mins later and of course it was gone within 15mins! I called the lost and found and of course no one turned it in....I'm sorry but I think someone from the airport that works there took it...I don't care if they tell me no one from there took it *lies*
Airpark Living
A great place to live and fly airplanes. Good neighbors. I love to live with my airplane.
Excellent Facility
Great terminal building available to the transient pilot. Very modern. No expense spared. Self serve fuel by credit card.

Fly-in Fish Boil
The Lion's Club of Washington, Island holds an annual fly-in fish boil in the summer (usually, July, I think). It is a novelty, and a great event. If the wx is good, the attendance is usually excellent. BE CAUTIOUS about traffic! The event draws many people who arrive other than by air, so it is a pretty big event. Get there early, so they don't run out of food. It's excellent. What wouldn't taste great if they poured a ladle full of melted butter over it?!? Get the details online, via Google. It's worth the flight, and a neat experience.
re: This airport has not operated in over 35 years. It is c
Somebody needs to alert the FAA then, because it's still in their database and according to them they verified the data with the facility owner in 1993.
This airport has not operated in over 35 years. It is close
This airport is closed and not maintained.
Home base
This is my home base. Friendly folks here.
Hidden Lake Airport community
The most friendly community of pilots on earth. Marcelle, for example is an exemplary neighbor, pilot, mentor and a fine human being. Everyone cares for everyone else and the place is like paradise on earth with abundant natural beauty and a great runway with facilities. All roads/taxiways are well maintained. IT IS UNIQUE. I am lucky to be a part of the community.....So safe, being gated with neighborhood watch....My privilege to be part of it....
Neat Airport
Windy... potential for lots of x-wind!
Flight School
Setting up Flight School for an early 2013 start at Sedgewick/Killam Airport. The more people the better!
Camping
There is a great camp ground across the street from the airport. No access to the lake within walking distance of the airport.
BAE typhoon fighter jet
It is possible that a Typhoon fighter jet will land on the runway at Kaslo, B.C., Canada.
I am not joking.
NDB CKP 423 Decommissioned
CKP Pilot Rock 423 kHz was decommissioned April 2010.
Runway condition
runway is usable -75x 1600' long dirt/grass no maintenance
Jim Marker
Jim passed away last year. The airport remains open.
Great Times
HT-18's proving grounds.
Easy international connection
Nice, easy connection here in mid November -- I had only an hour to connect from an inbound Montreal flight to an outbound Bogotá flight, but I was able to stay in the international terminal without going out and back in through security, like at some other airports.
