I see some references to this field called KCJJ.
AirportCodesa.com says its ICAO is KCJJ
AirportGuide.com says ICAO is KCJJ, FAA is CJJ
Hello Flight
Wikipedia for Iowa: ICAO is KCJJ, FAA is CJJ
Sadly I can't put in the URLs into this form for reference.
Security Check point
On August 11, 2012 our group of 26 scuba divers were subjected to excessive screening. One employee at the screening area was a man in his sixties by the name of Dorrell Potter or Porter. He was very rude, aggressive, nasty, confrontational, and down right obnoxious. We were there around 2 PM local time connecting from Cayman Brac to continue on to Miami. I must say, he left a very sour taste in my mouth. If this is how Caymanians want to treat us, we can just go travel somewhere else. We had already gone through a complete search of our bags in Cayman Brac that I have never encountered anywhere else in all my travels. If they are trying to tell us we are not welcome, message noted. This one man harrassed half of our group and was annoying enough to make me think of never travelling there again.
Re: Airport facilities
Great place to do flight training. Lot's of room and not overly busy. Great little pizza/sub/coffee shop with tables inside and a nice deck with umbrellas outside. They do breakfast on weekends. Airport staff are helpful and terminal is nice. Could use a few pictures on the walls though.

No you can't, there's no customs/inmigration office, you nave to depart from MPMG.

Link to current landing fees
The current landing fees for CYHU is available at http://www.dashl.ca/cgi-bin/index.cgi?page=c1_3&langue=eng
Fort Erie Airport
This airport is no longer in service. The airfield was apart of the fleet aircraft company. When they closed down at the end of world war two the field was no longer maintained. The runway is currently in rough condition but could be used for an emergency landing for an aircraft no larger than a king air 350. The runway is 10-28. On the 28 end it has FLEET as the runway heading number.
Nice facility
FBO building is well equipped and only a few years old. Runways are both sloped down toward the middle so let the runout just happen.
Aishihik Airport
My home for four years
Wind Turbines
Are wind turbines really planned for the runway area? That is what the Samsung project map says -- see "freewco dot blogspot dot ca" for information.
I am having trouble with this one. Is this correct?
Very neat and tidy
Nice, tidy small city airport. Courtesy car, pilot lounge etc.
Blimp Hangers
Massive blimp hanger here. Small museum located inside the hanger.
re: Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 20
You should know that under US and probably Canadian law, a pilot who agreed to fly you is taking a big risk unless they could prove that they would have made the flight without you. Offering to fly somebody somewhere for "some $$$ .. or whathaveyou" would be seen as "holding out" as a commercial operator.
Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 2012
Last Minute Idea; Live five mins from Glenora ..... Looking for a flight/ride to Seattle to see the Nationals this weekend! Anyone interested or do you know anyone that might be interested in flying us there and back? We(my hubbie and I) are looking for a ride and are willing to put some $$ towards the flight or "whathaveyou". Leave Thursday late afternoon, return Friday evening or Friday morning and return either Friday evening or Saturday morning. Pls email carriebell@shaw.ca
Not maintained
According to Tornados Resort, who owns the airport, it is not maintained.
Don't go swimming
If heading North, Depart over the lake, turn east and head for Reno. Once across the ridge, turn north and parallel the ridge . More emergency landing options this way. Better than going swimming. This lake is deep and cold!
Whoa baby! Pay attention!
Real sinkers here, Be careful! Landing to the west is downhill.
Great little airport
Great little airport. Restaurant right across the street.
I found the place to be quiet and peaceful.
I landed and camped here July 2012. I never heard a peep from the campers across the fence and there were no unwanted people on the airstrip. I did have a few kids stop by to oogle my 172 but I enjoyed the curious company. plenty of Picnic tables along the west fence, restrooms through the gate at mid field and absolute solitude. View of the lake is awesome! One water faucet down near the lake and one through the east gate mid field. Look left to see the lone faucet.
Very rough. Only land here with complete understanding of cu
Use extreme caution. This strip is very rough and overgrown vegetation might exist.

This airport closed on Sunday nights to any traffic that does not reside there
re: Wrong data
I find it highly moronic for someone to expect such "correctness" from a user-driven website. I suggest you search for official sources if such accuracy is required. However, should you wish to contribute to this website with more than useless blathering, start by clicking "about" at the bottom of this page and learn what this website has to offer. Then sign up and be constructive by picking up all those littered "airfields" and putting them in their place.
Wrong data
I find it highly irresponsible to simply publish data without verifying its correctness even if it is a public site. I was looking for Rio Sidra and found this page littered with "airfields" in San Blas and they are ALL terribly misplaced. Rather than providing highly inaccurate data it is better not to provide any. These airports are shown way inland when in fact they are all located on the coast.
Closest to downtown Charlotte.
Nice Local place
173rd Brigade Flag
Thank you for flying the 173rd Brigade stationed in Vicenza, Italy and now serving in Afghanistan over your heliport. As a mom of one of the deployed soldiers, it is great to see the support from so many. Thank you for service and be safe!
Guelp airport
Fuel is available with a card.
Restaurant is open.
re: 767-300
Sure, it could land and take-off from the 7002 feet of runway. It might be restricted to less than maximum take-off weight depending on the load and temperature. As for parking, according to the Canadian Flight Supplement (CFS), the only apron it would be allowed on is number 7 (north-west corner of the airport; not shown in the satellite shot) as all other aprons are restricted to aircraft with wingspans 118 feet or less. Apron 7 is restricted to aircraft with wingspans 170 feet or less.
767-300
Can a Boeing 767-300 land/to at CYKF and where would it park
Location
The Cudworth airport is actually about 1/2 a mile to the NorthEast of where the location is indicated on the map. The main runway is 26-08, which is now mostly gravel from disintegrated asphalt, and nice grassy shoulders. The grass, either side of the gravel, is suitable for landing light aircraft. The taxiway, leading north from the centre of 26-08 can and is often used for landing subject to prevailing winds. 35-17 are the normal calls for landing on the taxiway. The Saskatoon Soaring Club operates out of this airport, as of 2012, and owns the large hangar off of the taxiway, North end of airport. Unicom is 123.2
Stan works on all kinds of single and twin engine planes WWI
nice grass field picturesque surroundings.
re: Why is Toronto International Airport not customer frien
oh, you are so wrong!!!!!! First though, my question would be why do you travel with so much luggage that you cannot simply wheel it around for yourself?
Yesterday I was meeting a 13 year old who was on a five hour layover from Barcelona to Edmonton. I asked an airport employee if he could provide me with some information about where she would be so that I could meet her. He asked me to write a note for her, then he found her when the plane arrived, ensured that everything was well with her and later on purchased us drinks at Tim Horton's. I was friendly, not angry; my niece was polite; the employee was phenomenal. My niece had heard scare stories about Toronto (Edmonton apparently bashes Toronto too), but this simple act of 'niceness' gave her a wonderful introduction to our (my!) city. Maybe change your outlook and you will find more pleasant circumstances.
Why is Toronto International Airport not customer friendly
It is always a pain to fly back into Toronto Airport despite the fact that it is an image builder for the city and country for so many visitors. First it is an expensive airport so the fees you pay are already one of the highest in the world. Second it is usually miles to walk from the plane up escalators, down escalators in a bland corridors and vast rooms. then you come to the immigration where the clueless personel trying to make orderly lines make you walk much further than necessary as necessary in a snake rather than individual lines. Then the insult of arriving after tiring journey and being asked to faddle about and pay $2 for a luggage cart. This last item is one of my tests for a civilised country. Most airports that I have visited mainly Europe offer free carts. Clearly Toronto airport is greedily money oriented rather than making customers happy. This really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I am ashamed of Toronto airport because of its snivelling attitude. Try looking at airport users as humans you want to impress. It may be the most improved airport in Canada but it is still bottom of the pile.

re: Poor Dorval
Going back to Mirabel sounds like it would make a bad problem worse.

My "home" airport for flying commercial and CAP missions.
Flying Club
Is there a flying club at this airport?
Muskeget Island Airport
ownership divided both public and private
Poor Dorval
Reopen Mirabel and shut down Dorval for good.
2012 fees update
It's been four years since I flew into Dulles, so I called Signature (1-703-572-0001) for a fees update for a piston single. They're still extremely reasonable for an FBO at a major airport:
Ramp fee: $30 (waived with minimum 8 gal fuel purchase)
Landing: $10.04
Parking: $20.92/night
Customs: no fee
Staff estimated that a taxi into DC would cost $100, and a compact rental car is $45/day.

Yes, that is correct. When an airport in the "lower 48" contiguous United States has an FAA id that consists of only letters, it also has an ICAO code that consists of a "K" plus those same three letters. I am not aware of any airport in the lower 48 that does not obey that rule. In Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and US possessions, the mapping is lot less regular.
