Crosswind runway and misc updates
A crosswind runway was recently completed, making Burlington really comfortable and easy to operate from. Maneuvering surfaces are in a very good shape, overall airport infrastructure looks better and better with every visit.
FBO status remains the same - sort of struggling through and not quite organized, missing a leading hand. Seen a King Air blasting the parked Cessnas (yes, he was doing a run-up next to the pumps, pointing its tail to the ramp within 60 ft). Advised the FBO folks, they refused to comment or take any action to prevent the damage of their own airplanes.
For the renters - add $10 to the prices from the Spectrum Airways website, this is called a "temporary fuel surcharge" or something like that, but looks like its a permanent thing in disguise.

dangerous
Stay away unless you have an emergency. The runway is the wavyest runway I have ever landed on. Kicked us back into the air on landing. Rolling not close to being level. Our engine quit because of the negitive G incured from being bounced. I have 1329 hours in a tail dragger and this was without a doubt the scarest landing ever.
Terminal building
Nice new facility opened in 2011
ETB
My home field. Great EAA Chapter (Chapter 1158)!

Runway 07 25
This runway is now paved.
Accommodations
Great FBO. Had a courtesy car for us and found us a room when none were available. However, I would not stop there for anything but fuel in the future.
Runway
Very nice grass runway. Well maintained.

re: Lovely Airstrip
Coordinates are 43.735 -80.447 (you can set them in google maps or your GPS). Flying, it is just NW from the town of Fergus, following Beatty Line across the river. Note that there is another, unrelated airstrip NE from Fergus - closer to the Belwood lake - and a couple of others, also unrelated fields just SE of the lake!
The only other information I have is that CPG7 "Fergus - Juergensen Field" (the airstrip we are talking about) is a home of the Chinook ultralights community (liftoffaviation.com) Hope that helps...
Sanderson
Landed here to look at a Cessna 150. Nice clean airport. No courtesy car, not much for dining. Frequent skydiving. Great pilot lounge.
re: Lovely Airstrip
Reply to @dazuppa: hi, can you tell me what the coordinates are for this airstrip in fergus Ontario?
re: Not for me...
Maybe you ignored and drove past the three signs telling you to park in the parking lot and not drive on the ramp? If so it shows your character to be that of, "I ignore rules and can do whatever I want", meaning they probably wouldn't want types like you there in the first place!
Not Finished!
As of January 24, 2012 the airport - new airport facilities - has just begun. A drive by scheduled in the next few days will confirm if the tunnel for the road traffic has been started. Noise or not this airport will be a benifit for everyone! Hell maybe even my Mom can convince my stuck in the mud father to get on the plane for a visit now that the drive will be shortened to 35mins to Penonome!
cancelled flights
On Jan. 23, 2012, the 3:20pm flight to Toronto was cancelled. A passenger was given another flight at the same time on the next day. He was not given transportation from and back to the airport, a hotel room, or meals. I'm very disappointed in Air Canada.
Aerial view
The airpark is far further along than you can tell from the Google Maps satellite view. Here's a recent aerial photo:

Nice Place to Stop
Very friendly. Let us use their personal car to get lunch
Safe and well kept
We visited this airport in 2009. Good military presence. Got a cab for us. Very cooperative
Au contraire!
This is a most friendly little airport. The owner does request you not depart when the runway is very soft, though.
Hagersville Airport

Reply to @dazuppa: I did a TG ther same day. It's a nice approach to 26.

Great Place to Visit
Runway is really "perched on the top of a hill", as mentioned by one of the commenter - and there are other hills, antennas and trees around, but the whole location is so very scenic, absolutely adorable. Runway and taxiways are in the perfect conditions, the airport is definitely maintained well, and there was a stash of wonderful flying machines in the hangar! Absolutely worth visiting.
Rough Surface
I was always interested in visiting Bradford because of the L'il Buzzard fame (www.ultralightnews.ca) - I think it is a great website and the whole approach of the owner is right on.
Unfortunately, the landing surface was really bad. One of the hangar folks described it to me in advance as horrible, and that turned to be true - pretty much like landing on the unprepared field with a hump in the middle. Fortunately frozen today, so bumps were stiff - and approaching through the cut in the tree line on short final was fun. Managed to almost get stuck a couple of times while taxiing, though - and overall perception of the airport was like it used to be very much alive, but went down lately.
YAT ND beacon
Copying the YAT beacon on 260.5 mhz with an Icom 756 ProIII in CW mode. Signal is very weak, however the morse identifier is audible enough to make out. I am using a multi-band Alpha Delta DXLB dipole. Location here is Milton, Ontario just west of Toronto.
re: Kuujjuarapik Airport
Sorry about old RWY, it was 13/31
Kuujjuarapik Airport
I have over 200 landings with the B737-200 and never had any problems with the RWY.
A precise approach and touchdown point is all you need.
BTW i flew into YGW when there were 2 strips before they condemned 03/21
One of the best "$100 Burger" places
This is usually first on my list of places to go when I need an excuse to fly and am looking for lunch. Always have different lunch specials, and always great!
Landed at OLM
Stayed the night. Used Jensen's courtesy car. Great FBO!
Great little airpark
Just a quick stop to say I landed here.
Home Base
Great grass roots airport.
re: Manhattan and Hudson River Corridor Access
Reply to @willymopit: I've always been treated well at TEB too (I use Atlantic), but I agree about cost of a taxi. There is a bus that stops near the airport and goes to the Port Authority; alternatively, maybe it's possible to take a cab just to the nearest NJ Transit rail station, and get into Manhattan that way. I'll look into it on my next visit.
Manhattan and Hudson River Corridor Access
Landed here to take a couple people residing in Manhattan on a Hudson River flight. First Aviation treated me well, and with the purchase of 20 gallons of fuel, waived the ramp fee. Looked kinda silly parking a C-152 next to all the executive jets, but they gave me first rate service and parking regardless.
Cab ride to Manhattan is exorbitant, need to find a better way!
Excellent fuel stop
Nice little airport with self serve fuel.
My Stomping Grounds
Got my PPL in Manassas (under the original ADIZ) but I call HWY (formerly w66) my homebase. Great little airport.... all it needs is self serve fuel.
re: Routes YJT airport
Thanks, I've added that for now. Do you happen to know if it's a scheduled route or just a charter destination?
Good place to visit
🔗 Tue, 21 Feb 2012
— @dazuppa at Brantford Municipal Airport, Canada
Brantford is very easy to find - an obvious triangular shape next to the only big town in the area. Wide, long, well-maintained runways and not so well maintained taxiways, huge ramps. A couple of semi-dismantled C-117 with square tails and oversized elevators at the end of the SW ramp (aviation buffs, check them out - those birds are rare now!) Reasonably busy, but with well-organized traffic and helpful unicom. A nice place to visit.
