waypoints
I have a GDB, KML or GPX file with precise coodinates of Panama's airports. Very usefull if you have a regular Garmin handheld GPS. If someone wants it, please send me an email to velasquezrush@hotmail.com
re: Question
No, you can nopt. You have to depart from Gelabert MPMG, Tocumen MPTO or David MPDA.
re: ride to town
Sorry we missed your post but for future plans, the group is very active and most of the time there are members at the airport that would gladly help you in any way they can. You can always request a cab from the airfield to downtown Hamilton or any other destination.
Regards
needs new pavement.
Needs paving I see.
VFR into teterboro
thinking about VFR from Norfolk to teterboro...first time into teterboro. bad idea? any recommendations on route?
springbank ATC
I have flown in and out of Springbank a few times in the last couple years and found the ATC to be consistantly surly so it seems to be more a culture of attitude toward GA. I fly C space around alberta quit a bit and have flown literally across Canada bumping controlled space frequently, I've never experienced anything near as bad as Springbank ATC. After the first couple bouts with Springbank ATC I asked an instructor at the local school, a recently retired Airline pilot who flys recreationally as well AND NavCanada rep at a rust remover for an interpretation of the Northern approach instructions to Springbank; all provided a different interpretation. I use Spring Bank to commute to meetings in Calgary so my choices are limited. I'll start carrying a bottle of Mydol in the plane and when they get snotty with me again I'll give it to the women (with deep voices) in the tower.
Landing and take off at Winter's field CRY4
Aug 2012, I landed here in a Beech 19a. Called ahead and spoke with Wayne who OK'd the use of his field. Runway 34. Bit bumpy but fine for a soft field approach and landing. Suggest anyone fly over the field first to get a good idea of what it's like. Exercise caution while taxing to park as there was an invisible hole just beside where I parked that was big enough to lose a foot in about 6" deep and would easily damage landing gear.
Thank Wayne for the use of the airfield
CTAF
Everyone should be aware that the CTAF for this airport is 122.8. The pilot controlled lights are on 122.9.
Margaree Airport
Visited the airport in August 2012. Beautiful asphalt runway, nicely maintained. No aircraft visible anywhere. Small terminal building, locked, looked largely unused. Three "hangars" of which only one looked servicable. Middle hangar falling down and full of non-aviation junk, third hangar closed with what looked like municipal ditch mower parked in front. No fuel, no telephone, and some distance from accommodation. This airport is close to the famous and scenic Cabot Trail, Baddeck, and should be crown jewel. Just add gas, a beater courtesy vehicle, an open terminal/pilot lounge and it should be busy all spring and summer. One wonders who built this airport, for what, and why it is well maintained but seemingly unused. Too bad really, could be a great destination.
flights
can you fly from ONX to Bocas Del Torro
stopover
I'm trying to find a flight from Portland ME (PWM) to Tampa FL (TPA) that has a stop over in Atlanta (ATL) of at least 3 hours. Why is this so hard?
Camp
Base for my Super Cub Ultra in FSX. Camping, flights to glaciers and flying the rivers. Apparantly it is not open, so it's pretty quiet there...
Linden, AB
If you are flying in to Linden for the first time this YouTube video shows the full sequence of approach, circuit joining, landing, taxiing and parking: Golden Haze: Dawn Landing at Linden.
A quick search will find it ....
re: Terrific Day Trip Destination
Reply to @jasmantle: Yes! A really cool flight. I take off CYRP and land at Morrisburg .5h later. I cross the street and "voilà" ; I spend the afternoon at Upper Canada Village, with my sons...

Restaurant
When I was here in 2005, they had an awesome Mexican Restaurant right on the field.
Qulichena airport
Good condition gravel strip (Sept 2012), helpful friendly people, and one of the few places where you can get mogas, both regular and premium. Flying a plane with a Rotax 912 engine this is really appreciated. Most high wing airplanes will be able to roll right up to the pumps (its a regular car gas station). The top of the gate posts needed to be about 6 inches lower for us so we used a fuel jug and pump we had on board to transfer fuel. Its only about 250 feet from the pump to the end of the runway so it wasn't too onerous but it would have been fun to pull right up to the pump.
Just be sure to note the power lines along the road.
Amarillo Air Force Base

Home of NORAD ID Z-88, guardian of the Gulf of Mexico. Capable of launching 3 B-52's side by side 25 sec. apart , it would shake cars 4 miles away. Alternate landing field for the US Space Shuttles .
Always wanted a 10,000 at 180* from the HOT pad, eastern edg
Still feasible, but it could die if they keep building houses.
Help us keep the Bashaw Airport OPEN!!!!!
If landing at the Bashaw Airport, please go inside to sign the registration Book. Our local goverment does not realize how many people use the airport because people do not remember to sign in. We really need your help to show them that this is a great little airport and deserves their support. Please help us keep the Airport open.
So if you landing or if you ae looking for a nice little day trip, stop by Bashaw, just please remember to come sign the book.
The airport is owned by Green Township
Since someone wanted to know who owned it.

great for a daytrip
a short five minute walk from the airport to a sugar-white sand public beach. Local restaurants will pick you up at the airport. 4R9 is a great day-trip or weekend getaway air strip.
Just remember that there is no fuel or any services here at all. The strip is bit short and short final to RWY12 looks like you are about to land on a carrier. But that is the charm of 4R9 I guess.
re: Identifier?
Reply to @ptomblin: I have an old paper copy of the official ICAO "Location Identifiers" doc (ICAO Doc 7910/128) from June 2008. It lists no identifier "KGVQ". The closest ones are "KGUS" (Grisson AFB) and "KGVW" (Kansas City, Richards-Gebaur Airport). I suspect that someone was using "ICAO" informally, as a synonym for "four-letter all-alpha identifier".
The confusion over ICAO identifiers, especially in the US, is the main reason that I went for "GPS code" instead with OurAirports.
re: Identifier?
Reply to @david: I don't trust that list, because it doesn't list Genesee County Airport, which changed its FAA id from 3G8 to GVQ because it had weather reporting and so therefore needed an ICAO identifier KGVQ. That happened when the US adopted METAR/TAF back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
re: Identifier?
Reply to @ptomblin: you have to pay for the official list, but here's a copy (re)published by Mexico in 2010: http://www.mexico.icao.int/icaoaspa2010/ECCAIRS/Documentation/Taxonomy/R4CDLocationIndicatorsByState.pdf
Gunnison
Great airport to land at in any aircraft. Great scenery and always a pleaure to visit.
update
FYI, Picton is still a PPR airport except for PEFC breakfast, second Sunday of each month and Father's Day breakfast. Also there is a new registration box beside the old gas pumps. Please fill out the form. No tiedown fee. No fuel available.
The runways are maintained but are 70 years old so are far from perfect. No snow removal. Flying club is active but own no a/c. There are about 7 a/c based here in the summer.
description
There still is a flying school here. Also about 15 a/c in the hanger. Fuel is available Mon. to Fri during business hours. After hours and on weekends you need your own key. Price is reasonable.
FBO
We spent some time here in August of 2012 and found the owners of Tailwinds Aviation to be very friendly and hospitable. Services were fairly priced including fuel. The airport is well maintained and I would not hesitate to recommend it for most light aircraft.
commercial Flights
Which airlines have service here and Ground transportation representatives is not clear for someone visiting from out of state.
re: Phone number
You going to make us guess, or are you going to tell us what the correct number is?
Phone number
Phone number for Aviation CMP is incorrect.

Friendly little airfield
Friendly place to stop, grass or snow. Great for tailwheel, ultralights. Picnic tables, bikes to go into town, washrooms and more.
US Customs Stop
Stop here for US Customs if heading West to Oshkosh. Friendly and flexible with the ETA.
Overnight Stop
Spent the night here, camped on the infield. The airport manager offered to let me sleep inside the terminal, but there was no traffic and it was more comfortable to tie the aircraft down on the grass, pitch the tent and sleep beside the aeroplane.
Beautiful spot
Wonderful quiet little airport in Northern Wisconsin, out in Lake Michigan.
SuperCub.Org Flyin
Very friendly tailwheel flyin takes place here during the week of Oshkosh. Make a reservation, fly in, camp here and take the daily bus over to AirVenture (if you wish). Many of the New Holstein fly-in folk prefer to just stay here for the week, and don't even bother with the crowds at Oshkosh.
Inexpensive, quick fuel stop
Stopped here for inexpensive fuel after picking up the Club's Decathlon from the factory at Fox River. Take off from Fox River, climb to 1000 feet, look right and you are right base for KBUU.
Home of the American Champion Factory (Decathlons, Scouts, E
30 foot wide runway, but it looks like 20 feet! Flew the Club's Super Decathlon C-GKXD out here from Ottawa (Rockcliffe) for some TLC. Two weeks later, flew back trhough Milwaukee to fly the Decathlon back to Rockcliffe. Lots of Fun!
Cave Cay Air Strip
Dose any one know how long this airstrip it? Please e-mail me at captdonmull@yahoo.com,,,Thank you,,, Don
re: Identifier?
Reply to @david: http://www.activitae.com/cgi-bin/htmlSearch.pl - I don't know if this actually looks at the ICAO database, or if it just applies the standard rule to the FAA ids. But it lists KOWD (and not abominations like K7G0 like I've seen in some places).
re: Fort Erie Airport
According to the CFS, the western 2,350 ft portion of the runway is still in use. If you zoom in on the satellite view, you'll see a faint "28" painted about a third of the way from the east end of the runway.
re: Identifier?
Reply to @ptomblin: the problem is that the ICAO doesn't recognize all of the KXXX identifiers. For example, Norwood Airport (FAA: OWD) is referred to as "KOWD" in GPS databases, but AFAIK, there is no "KOWD" ICAO code.
re: Incorrect link
Where are you seeing the broken link?
ride to town
anyone around for a ride to sheraton this evg?
may I land my plane there ?
call a cab?
etc
thanks
Sea plane base!
I didn't know if I'd find this one in here but I did! My one and only sea plane ride. I swear the pilot had been sipping some whiskey when he came to pick us up, but he did take us for spectacular plane ride along the coast.
