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.
Cheap Fuel
Great Services
Airport CLOSED
Did not renew license
User friendly

Price is wrong for fuel

re: terminal one or terminal three
If you are flying on Air Canada, they use Terminal 1. If you are flying on Westjet, they use Terminal 3. Other airline's information can be found under the Pilot Info tab and/or visiting the airport webpage.
re: Pleasure tours??
This field is privately owned and does not have a commercial operator who offers sight seeing tours. Closest airports that might have someone that offers sight seeing flights are Stirling, Belleville, Tyendinaga Mohawk (Deseronto) or Kingston. Closer to your location (Bobcaygeon), you might have luck at the Lindsay or Peterborough Airports. And its never too late to finish your licence.
terminal one or terminal three
How do you know which terminal you need to use when flying in or flying out. This is a flight from Vancouver to Toronto.
Pleasure tours??
Does this field have a flight for a christmas present to fly as a sight tour around the area for an hour?
I wish I had finished my ticket.
Looks like a great field.
Im from Bobcaygeon
re: Wrong Location
Fixed.
Wrong Location
This is an old location. The FAA had it wrong for a long time. The field is about 1 mile east of the airplane icon.
re: Phone number
This number is still listed in the CFS.
Parking
Hello,
Just wondering if there is ramp space available for long term parking? If so, what would be the going rate?
Thank You!

Don't transfer here
Not a fun place to transfer after an overnight international flight. Shift change at customs happens at 6:00, and the customs line did not move for 1/2 hour, as it grew longer and longer. Have to reclear security to transfer from the international terminal to a domestic flight at terminal 3, and construction made things painfully slow there (once we all found a way in).
Choose any other airport, even Atlanta or Chicago.
Who?
All the equipment operaters in Fort McMurray are union members. Dale Erb is not in the union. Why does Dale Erb think the rules will change for him? Is he special?
Hurricane Sandy damage
I understand that Antonio Maceo airport had some severe damage from the hurricane and was not accepting flights. Have all flight schedules resumed? If not, when will that happen?
mismatch fixed
Airport longitude: -82.890198

re: Remove Goddard Airport in Haverhill MA!!!
Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(You seem to like exclamation points)
Remove Goddard Airport in Haverhill MA!!!
Airport CLOSED! This was never an "airport". The Field use to be used for a small Cessna. The owner was stopped from taking off and landing on the field. The field has houses on it now!!! (Nov 15, 2012) and should no longer be considered an airport at all on any map what so ever!!! Remove Goddard Airport!!!
Now Open
Hi I've heard reports (bajabushpilots.com) that MMPE is now open can you put back into your data base thanks, Morris.

One Man Airport
Private airport, registered and opened for the flying community. Runway is built and maintained so that owner's C182 can use it comfortably. A bit tricky to find the first time, as the lakes around tend to change their size, but absolutely worth visiting. Wayne Wilderman is an awesome person, keeping his airport in a great shape - friendly and open to the visitors. It was great to land there, will be happy to make it there again!
CYKA
Not much to say.
re: Probable incorrect location for base
Reply to @prattsoplenty: The Wikipedia link goes to a Wikimapia article about the Navy base, not the seaplane base. Not sure if I'd trust that. Skyvector shows the point pretty close to where we already had it. http://skyvector.com/?ll=53.399114444,-167.5519&chart=301&zoom=3
re: Probable incorrect location for base
I found another mention of Chernofski Harbor (link in the pilot info under Wikipedia page) and moved the location to that area.
Convenient
Accommodation and restaurants within walking distance. Runway and taxiways need upgrading.
Probable incorrect location for base
The symbol is atop a hill beside Mailboat Cove, Chernofski, AK. There's nothing up on that hill except grass and crowberry. The ranch buildings can be seen in bottom of aerial photo if one pans cursor that way. The ruins of US military WWII infrastructure is to right, in the northern part of Mutton Cove, an appendix (if you will) of Mailboat Cove with together with Mailboat Cove comprise Chernofski Bay or Harbor. On the hillside above NE corner of Mutton Cove are a hydrant and other remains of US Military presence. There's also a pier and slaughterhouse in that corner and, finally, a little bit left of the coal pile the military put there to heat the place.
I spent January 2010 up there and became quite familiar with the layout.
