Thunderbay ESSO Service
I have stopped there three times. Great, quick, and friendly service at reasonable prices.
Timmy the Fluffy White Pomeranian Puppy
THIS IS A SCAM!!! This is the email I received when inquiring about a pom puppy Listed in Dockweiler Beach, California - this is a scam. That same email rsponse is listed at the Cameroon Douala International airport.
Your home sounds loving and perfect for Timmy. Thanks for your soonest responds and assurance. We must say that we are so excited to let Timmy to your loving home , we trust you so much now that you have assured us a loving home for Timmy. Timmy would get along well with your family Timmy is a very smart and intelligent beautiful little girl with a super personality. She has a heart of gold and warms up to everyone quickly. She is good with children and other animals, Timmy is 21 weeks old and highly potty trained. We really hope you are a pet lover because we want the best for her, we know we will be missing our girl dearly but providing all her needs makes us very happy. Please we just want you to promise us you are going to take very good care of her. Timmy will make a wonderful companion to your family and she will be the highest play mate you can ever imagine.
To tell you a bit about my self, i am Victorine the wife of Penn. I am 29 and i am expecting my first baby. I got married 3 years back and we are so happily married. I have been with dogs all my life as my Grand Father was a pet lover. I usually go there on holidays and would spend much time with the animals and house pets there. Timmy`s mother Milo was given to me as a wedding gift by my grand father.
We traveled to Salt lake city Utah on research purpose. We are out to carry out a research on plants and backs of trees in the Victoria East Bay botanic garden research center Salt lake city Utah. The area is good in many species of plants and some of the plants and backs of trees serves as medicines. We would be here for 7 months and we do not really have time to take good care of Timmy that is why we have decided to give her for adoption.
we not selling Timmy or giving her away for an adoption fee. All we need from you is to show her all the love and care she deserves and to treat her as a member of your family, sending us updates and pictures of her from time to time.
There will be no problem flying Timmy to you as she has all her health papers and she will come with them. All you will need to do is to get back to us with your detail address that is your full names, your state, city, phone number, zip postal code and the name of the nearest airport to your location and we will do the shipping arrangements and fly her to you so that you will pick her up from the airport.
As soon as you get back to me with your detail address we will do the shipping arrangements and prepare the adoption and transfer of ownership document of Timmy at the pets department of the salt lake city international airport. When we have completed the shipping arrangements under your address, the pet shipping company at the salt lake city international airport will contact you for notification you will then pay the shipping fee directly to them which will cost $250. This fee includes all the airport charges so you will not have any other fee to pay. The pet shipping company will also let you know how the shipping and delivery works. It really hurts to see her go but we are just doing this for her own good.
When you are ready for us to proceed with the shipping arrangements you get back to us with your address so that we will do the shipping arrangements.
Thanks and waiting to read from you

Victorine and Penn
I Googled her name when I got a bad feeling that this was not on the up and up. This scam is also being done with chihuahuas and bulldogs. Google Victorine Monique and they will come up.
Great Facility, very reasonable fuel prices and great servic
Runway 36-18 bumpier in spring as frost leaves ground, but last writer below completely exagerates condition. Both my planes based here, and in addition to light aircraft, Dash, Metro, Hawker and RJ traffic regularly use runway with no difficulty. Staff always prepared to provide for transportation needs, whether calling for or furnishing rides. Exceptional mechanical and paint shop too, providing services to commercial and private operators. Very reasonable fuel prices and no parking fees. Head and shoulders above Sault airport (CYAM) in every respect. Same distance to town as CYAM, so for visiting traffic, CPF2 is much better with cheaper fuel, no landing fees, no parking fees and abundantly helpful and capable service attendants on site. Water aerodrome as well at this facility, both on Lake George and taxi up Bar River to base, or on water runway parallel to 36-18.
Ground transportation
There's a station for the "L" train Orange Line in the terminal: ~25 minutes to downtown and the Loop.
Porter
This is where Porter Airlines flies from downtown Toronto.
The Place I learned to fly.
Over 40 hours at this airport and I visit it often
History
A former British Commonwealth Air Training Plan station, home of No. 31 Air Navigation School, equipped with Anson. Opened on 18 November 1940 and closed 17 February 1945.
My First Flight into Gateway!!
Will be taking my 1st flight into Gateway on Allegiants new non-stop service from Duluth, Mn.. Will post more once we are done traveling for the Holidays!! Be Safe!!
re: Cost of landing
In Canada and the U.S., most small airports don't have landing fees, though it's still a good idea to call and check.
Cost of landing
Hello to all flyers,
I sort of got fascinated by the idea of private flying when I saw those Cessnas next to Herb's and a friend showed me the mechanic; and I wanted to find out about the history of that airport; would you know the year it was opened?
And a question for CL 1960: how much does it cost to land in the grass in an informal airport such as this one?
Thank you for your time!
Stolen name
Toronto has to take everything. Billy Bishop, arguably the British Empires no 1 flying ace of WWI was from OWEN SOUND. Thats why the airport in OWEN SOUND is called Billy Bishop and was called that first. So good job Toronto, you couldnt think up something original and had to steal OWEN SOUND's airport name.
Excellent destination
Huge runway, easy to find, useful unicom and friendly folks in the FBO - great place to go, a useful alternative to Muskoka. Unfortunately, uncontrolled - but otherwise absolutely recommended to visit. Watch out for the floatplanes approaching - they actually complete a normal circuit for the runway 17, only to skim the concrete surface and land in a pond at the end of it! Looks unusual...
official cablehead website is finally up and running!
Come visit online: www dot cablehead dot weebly dot com
Runway one way only
A high tension powerline runs accross the runway 18 threshold. Landings are to the north only, takeoffs to the south only.
Closed permanently
The Cargair base at Lac Kaigamac is closed, fuel is available a few miles north at the Marina "Nautique" in St-Michel-des-Saints on Lac Taureau
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Residing in Atlanta and use the Atlanta Airport for both domestic and international travel. I have been through many airports throughout the world and find the Atlanta Airport to be one of the best. The airport has a north and south terminal that are combined together. The rail system maks it extremely easy to navigate between terminals. A new separate international terminal is scheduled to open in 2012, which should make it very efficient with international travel and going through CBP.
re: Seaplane base
Reply to @ptomblin: so the FAA is wrong, go figure.
Nice Friendly Airport !!
Landed there a couple of weeks back ona VFR from Picton to St. Thomas. Fuel staff were really friendly. Kinda like landing on an aircraft carrier when you approach on 26 and the traffic on the road about 40 feet below can be distracting but a nice challenge to your concentration.

Great AirPort
Nice People !!!
Upslope Flyers' Paradise!
You know those MS Flight Simulator airports which, due to a program error, are sitting in the bottom of a pit with vertical walls around - so you need to fly in circles to climb out or land? Volk airport looks exactly like that in reality, especially when you stand at the bottom of the pit, where both runways are crossing each other. More, the longest runway is not only upsloped both ways - it is also curved, framed with tall trees, and has a rather uneven surface!
Well the hills and slopes surrounding Volk airport are not vertical, but they still look impressive. If you are flying a Super Cub or CH 701 - visiting Volk airport will be pure fun. But if you are plowing the sky in something like a 65 hp J-3, with its engine a bit too beaten to give you the full power, and the air is hot... Uhm... I would say be very, very careful - you may not make it out.
I think that Volk airport is one of the most exciting and challenging grass strips around Toronto, and Lisa from Golden Eagle flight school (goldeneagleflightschool.com) is a very friendly and welcoming person, nice to chat with. Just get a right plane to go there, and enjoy the adventure.
Stay away $500.00 fee
This was a private airplane that was charged the $500.00 fee. It said nothing about it on their website. They said no one ever complained about it before. I replied the landing fee at JFK in New York was a deal at $150.00 compared to Port Hawksbury. I will be contacting AOPA and CAPA about the fee.
re: No go place
Reply to @dazuppa: Even though funds aren't available to resurface the runway at this time, it really isn't in such a deteriated condition as you noted. It's never been closed so no need to 'X' the ends. It's used regularly by everything from ultralights to medium size twins. I was at the strip recently and there was a Cessna 310 and Piper Navaho along with a Cessna 182 RG on the ramp, an indication the strip is fully servicable and never an issue for your undercarriage, retractible or otherwise.
There was always a flight school at the airport until ownership changed. The school was operated by an Air Canada pilot and offered full training through multi engine and commercial.
The airstrip is just 40' wide, usually with a crosswind. In addition, on a windy day there may be some turbulence over the berm along the north side of the strip. The housing development on approach to runway 25 is never a problem. The airstrip is quite safe for landing but may be a little daunting for anyone having to deal with crosswinds and unfamiliar with landing on a short, narrow runway. The technique is somewhat different than landng at an airport with almost unlimited length. Fly the numbers, land on the numbers, stay near the centerline and your airplane will be just as happy as landing at the large regional airport.
I don't recommend an inexperienced student from a large airport use this for airstrip for his solo cross country, however 'experienced pilots' never have problems landing at Springwater.
More on fees
This page does say that the airport has landing fees for commercial and military aircraft, but it doesn't specify the amounts: http://www.porthawkesburyairport.com/news.htm
re: Landing fee at Port Hawkesbury Airport Canada
I'm sorry to hear about the fee. Certainly, there was none for my little Piper a few years ago when I visited. I hope someone from the airport can comment on this incident.
Landing fee at Port Hawkesbury Airport Canada
Stay away. After contacting CannPass and recieving port or entry approval to land at Port Hawksbury, We were on short final gear down. The airport personal asked what type of aircraft we were. They then informed us that there will be a $500.00 landing fee. Remember their website says there is no landing fee. They were glad to charge this fee and said no other pilots complained about this fee. Looks like our US dollars will never go back.
re: Re -José Martí International Airport
Im sorry but this airport is a chaos
Private airport
No landing fee, Overnight parking fee ($15.00), have both full (100LL and Jet)
Facility is closed.
Might be useful as emergency strip but is out of service.
Fine facility.
Good runway. Well marked. Services available. AWOS.
Pobreza y desamparo
La impresion que causa este aeropuerto a los que llegan por primera vez a el es la de quien llega a un campo de batalla, la mugre abunda por todos los rincones, el mal olor es imperante, la falta de cortesia y profecionalismo del personal es contrastante con la intencion de convertirse en el destino preferido de los turistas en el Caribe, se persibe un ambiente de hostilidad y cohexion desde que desiendes de la escalerilla del avion, el personal militar y represivo que te resive te observa amenazadoramente en busca de alguna respuesta a su lista de interrogantes e inquietudes silenciosas, luego de una larga espera sales fuera de la terminal y te resive el verdadero pueblo Cubano, deceoso de compartir contigo lo poco que tienen y un calor sofocante que te recuerda que estas en el tropico. "Bienvenido a Cuba, tierra de libertad".(deseada)

John Howroyd,
Awesome new colors on CFHUM... Black Red & Green stripes. Wishing you many more years of great high-flying fun. You've always been my most interesting and adventurous teacher. We could go flying again sometime!

That Brampton feeling
Huge runways in good condition, lots of GA planes, some impressive vintage aircraft (I've seen a T-28 and Cornell), completely messed up circuit with planes cutting on the final, joining it from any altitude and direction, doing steep turns on the downwind... reminds anything? I felt like it was another Brampton. Decent airport, but not so fun to fly around. If needed to land somewhere around Niagara, I'd think St. Catharines, not Welland.
Nice airport
Quiet small airport. Well maintained runway, good approaches, nice folks at the FBO. Finding it is a tiny bit of a challenge, though following the railroad while checking a Pearson VOR radial helps. Loved the autumn scenery around Grimsby - so quiet, so sweet.
Porter Airport Parking / Toronto Island Airport Parking / Bi
This is for those that have complained about the expensive parking rates at the airport above aka Toronto City Center Airport or YTZ.
I recently had to catch a flight out of Porter and parked at 19 Bathurst St, just behind the Amsterdam Brewery, which happen to only be a short 5 minute walk to the terminal. And at only $20/day, it was a no brainer. Especially when you consider that Porter airport charges a whopping $38/day!
Cheers

Great Little Airport
As you would expect commercial flights are somewhat limited but always within short jumps to major connectors.
The Airport itself is friendly, clean and offers good amenities for those flying in an out.
Private aviators will find great service from TACair with easy and covered access to tarmac.
It's nice to fly from a place where you can relax and not rush.
Frost
is there any snow on the ground yet, and are the lakes, rivers frozen yet
luggage inspection
Why do they go throught our luggage after we pick it up off the luggage carosall and do they have the right to take things out of it and is there a list of things we cannot bring into the country.
re: Why Is It ORD
According to the wikipedia entry for O'Hare (which I can't link as an anonymous coward) the airport was originally Orchard Field Airport.
Light Tower
Watch out for the tower to the North West. Comes into play for Left Hand circuits for Runway 07.
Runway Conditions?
Anyone know about the latest runway conditions for Shundra, Nordegg River, or Brazeau Abandoned airstrips?
Thanks

Airport
July 26th, 2011: Very friendly and helpful people. No tie down. Car gaz available between 13h and 14h30. General store. No motel. No restaurant.
re: Info on getting there
You should probably contact Scenic Airlines http://www.scenic.com/ as they seem to be the only company operating into this airport. They appear to be a tour company rather than a simple airline.
Info on getting there
How can I get a list of flights and other information of incoming flights (so I can book a flight if possible) from Las Vegas, or Flagstaff? I travel from a larger city (Balt) that has direct connection to this airport.
Wow what changes!!
This Airport has gone under major changes in the last three years since the new owners took over.Its very well groomed and has a paved strip plus a grass strip.Lets not forget the water for the floatplanes.Always something to see and they also added Fly Boys outdoor grill the food is exceptional.They also put in new washroom facilities with showers for anyone wishing to camp onsite.Its close to Casino Rama.The new owners are continually improving and are very gracious hosts and would welcome all visitors.
Lovely Airstrip
Nice grass airstrip West of Toronto - relatively easy to find, clean approaches, well maintained. Look out for the unmarked power line parallel to the road when approaching from the East. A bunch of ultralights and homebuilts hidden in the hangars, and walls of soft, high corn surrounding the landing strip - in case you'd feel like rolling out. ;-)
KFLD - Fond du Lac - WI
In and out for a few hours - friendly ground services.

As of summer 2011, no more fuel and the restaurant is closed. Customs and an FSS is about it. Nearest fuel, motel or restaurant is Tok.
