Landing Fee's
First of all thanks @david for bring the facility fee for Glanford to my attention i did not know about that and would have been pretty upset if i were to show up their and get a bill like that for sure! Second I'm noticing that YHM is waiving it's landing fee's on certain occasions to attract GA traffic. does anyone know if the facility fee for certain places will be waived? or is their a place on the field to park were you wont get charged these " hidden fee's"
thanks in advance

re: Where is Alhambra
It's near rocky mountain house
Where is Alhambra
Where is Alhambra is it north south east west
Grimsby Airpark
I wouldn't land here again. The runway is in poor shape. There are large trees at the north end which present a disconcerting challenge.
There are much nicer airparks in the area.
Manitoulin East Municipal Airport (CYEM) has 3500 x100 paved

closed
Not in service for many years. Most recently a motorcycle junkyard.
Small but friendly
We like to fly in to this little airport to have a $100 coke and take their old courtesy cruiser into Artesia and eat at the Wellhead. Great old movie theatre with current movies for $3! Fun cheap date with your wife if you don't count the fuel.
Sure movine a lot of dirt
So can you share with us what your plans for all that dirt that is being dumped non stop on your property? Sure making life miserable for your neighbours. We love the planes using our stand of pines to land, but the dust, dirt and all the trucks is a little unbearable.
So please share your plans!

re: Manhattan and Hudson River Corridor Access
Reply to @willymopit: yes, the landing fee from TEB is annoying, and it's especially a pain for me in Canada, since I have to go to the bank and get a U.S. money order to pay it, then put it in an envelope and mail it to them (they won't accept a credit card). I don't mind the $17, but I wish I could just pay it through the FBO while I was there. I also suspect that billing me and processing the money order probably costs them several times the $17 they collect from me.
re: Manhattan and Hudson River Corridor Access
Reply to @david: Thanks for the input. Speaking of the port authority, I got a bill for $17 several weeks after visiting. I have no idea why, didn't think there were any other use fees except what the FBO was going to charge.
btw, I love this site, so simple, straight-forward, and has been a great resource for creating a large wall map I now keep in my home.

I would like to know more...
I have flown over this several times enroute between KTYL and Yuma and wondered about it - it sure looks nice... but lots of restricted airspace around, with all the military training ranges. What can you tell us about land nearby if you have recently bought property there?
BCAT 16
Used to train in WW2. Army camp was there and then a training school for deliquent kids
re: Runway Conditions?
Does anyone know a place where I can land my Maule (800' of dirt or small rocks is fine) near Prince of Wales hotel at Waterton? I am staying there for a few days in August and cannot figure out the best way to get there by plane.

re: Cross currents make landing difficult
Hi,
KSEZ was landing number 4 on my long solo cross-country flight during my flight training (my "3 towered landings" x-c: The first 3 ldgs were at Flagstaff, another bumpy, cross-windy airport!)
Most of Arizona's airfields, especially those in the more northern parts, can be windy, gusty, and bumpy - that's just Arizona flying... but if the air was always smooth and always straight down the runway, everyone would want to live here!
Don't let the "SS Sedona" spook you - it just looks scary since it is up on a teeny, tiny looking mesa. But it just ~looks~ that way. (That's how it got the nickname "SS Sedona" - it kinda looks like an aircraft carrier landing...)
Here's the trick to landing there - NEVER try to put it down on the numbers! Land a little long - there will almost always be turbulence and even downdrafts at the ends of the runway - since the runway ends at the edge of the mesa which falls off rather abruptly to the valley floor below...
Come in high, maybe a few knots fast, with a good sink rate and make it a short-field landing. Even though the runway looks small (since it looks like it's all alone up there, perched on a mesa) it really is plenty long and wide. It will probably be windy, so just keep flying the airplane all the way to the tie-downs.
Get it tied-down and visit the FBO - get yourself a "SS Sedona" souvenir ballcap so you'll have braggin' rights. Then visit the new restaurant there - I hear they have good food!
When you are done, go out and make a short field take-off so that you've got a little altitude under your butt before you pass over the far end of the runway - you'll be fine!
Have fun!

Historic Exhibits
Once upon a time there were several exhibit panels detailing historic moments in aeronautical history in Kingston. They were very interesting. For some reason they were removed and I gather are now in storage. Why? They should be remounted and, frankly, in a more public area than just the security-closed-off departure lounge.
On a related matter - yes, Porter should fly into Kingston. I would make far greater use of our local airport if I could get into downtown Toronto directly. Flying into Pearson and then paying $50+ to get downtown (one way) is why I now take VIA, despite having to put up with commuting times that are much longer.

My home airport
Grounded by weather in Grove City on March 12
Heidi the FBO lady couldn't have been more helpful.
Palo Alto Airport
My home airport. Good chili at Abundant Air Cafe. Good rentals at Sundance flying club, West Valley Flying Club, Advantage Aviation.
Cross currents make landing difficult
This is a scary airport to land at. METAR does not show all the wind currents, even experienced pilots crash here.
Lincoln Park and folks fondly remembered
Knew Bill Fedishen (great guy, classic unforgettable character, who was a great foil for Ed. The two were classics of aviation.) Equally unforgetable was Ed Gorski who took my mom and older brother up in a JN-4 Jenny (or maybe a Waco?) in the old days. My first light plane ride, Cessna 172 (1962), first lesson (1964) through license (1969) being instructed by: Bill, Tony Farell (who, IIRC, did my license pre-check ride) and young Dave Brody (with whom did my last dual-cross country and my first & only spin). From Lincoln Park to 23 years in Naval Aviation.
Flight School
Trying to set up a Flight School at Killam/Sedgewick for the 2012 Season. Great for new pilots or upgrades to existing ones. It will hopfully fire up in May with the ground school. Anyone in the area that is interested can message me for more information.
I was there for 365 days ' June 1961-June 1962 M/sgt James m
It was a long year
First Airport
Learned to fly out of the Island while working in Toronto. Used to live on a sailboat in the Center Island Marina and fly out of the Island airport. It was good livin'!
Okotoks
Flew a 152 out of this airport. SkyWings Aviation is FBO and Flight school here. Nice folk. Narrow sloping runway - heads up!
South Valley Regional Airport
Leading Edge Aviation is the main FBO here and are very helpful. Flight School is great and they have a RedBird ATD (Advanced Training Device) available, with Traditional or G1000 instrumentation.
nice airport
Flew there in 1997~1998
Wow! What a great air port
In and very fast. , Bob Chezvic

re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @ptomblin: Oh wait, that one's already there. Just click the "navaids" checkbox. Not sure what else the original commenter could be commenting on.
re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @david: I've got a VOR with the id PVR named "VALLARTA" at 20.673094,-105.257497. I think the frequency is 116.6.
re: Were's the VOR?
I'd be very grateful for the information about the VOR (latitude, longitude, identifier, name, frequency, etc.) so that we can add it to the database.
Were's the VOR?
MMPR does have a VOR, AND IT'S NOT ON THIIS MAP!:(
Excellent Facility
Great airport. Very helpful staff Easy in and out. Taxi's very reasonable priced
Runway Closed as of 2/12/12

Wow
Overflew this airport last summer, was planning a possible touch and go depending how the field looked, but when we approached... wow... runway 27 certainly slopes DOWN.
