Nice place!
Cute little airport, very well maintained and easy to find. Rather busy local traffic - lots of planes in the nearby Claremont training area and next to the lake Scugog - so keep listening (and advising) on the 122.9 before getting close to Lindsay. It is also a popular destination for the local "100$ hamburger" cross-countries, check out their restaurant next to the FBO! :-)
Sheridan Lake
Anybody know anything about this private unregistered strip? If functional, it would be a nice way to get to nearby recreational properties.
Stuart Island
Private airport with 2100' paved runway. I've seen this from the air and it is not registered or in the CFS.
I'LL BE BACK
5 IN AND OUTS IN 1995.....ALL I HOPED FOR !
Two Tower Frequencies
There are two tower frequencies that should be noted. The east runway (31R/13L) is on 118.3. This is the frequency that should be used when departing this runway, or arriving from 0 to 179 degrees magnetic. The The west runway (31L/13R) is on 120.6. This is the frequency that should be used when departing this runway, or arriving from 180 to 359 degrees magnetic.
Arrester cables at CYBG
Watch out for arrester cables about 1500 from the tresholds, used for fighter jets. Even when they are lowered they are not something you want to roll over at high speed, especially with light GA aircraft. There are orange markers on each side of the runway at the cable positions.
There is a 20$ passenger fee but the terminal has free wifi and a reasonably cheap restaurant.
re: First Solo out of Trinca!
Reply to @Steve: Don't know what magic you are talking about.
re: Not for me...
The guy they have managing that place hates you and the world. He gets an attitude with just about everyone who stops in. If he hates people so much, why is he the manager of anything? What a bunch of sh*t. Doesn't belong in a public position with that attitude. Find out who owns the airport and file a complaint!
Great field
I was there yesterday. Great field. Caution of the wires off the north end.
0C2 - Hinckley - Soaring, Soaring, Soaring
Windy City Soaring based at Hinckley (0C2).
Nice Grass Strip 2600x100.
Enjoyed a day of Soaring over North Central Illinois thanks to the Windy City Soaring club. Go check it out.
No AVGAS
Jet fuel only. No 100LL available. Nearest fuel station is Charlottetown CYYG.
Is New Cuyama going to Re-Open?
I flew in/over on May 28 2011 and my favorite airport had a big X over the numbers:-( Is there anything we can do to help re-open it?
Meh
Bad service, rude staff, 1 hour to down town, no thank you. I'll pass through Calgary next time.
Flight School Closed
Aviation International closed this spring. There is no fuel or a restaurant available anymore.
re: IATA Airport Code
Thanks for the comment. We already have "UBP" in the database for http://www.ourairports.com/airports/VTUU/ - do you know of a source to confirm which airport it actually belongs to?
re: Airport IATA CODE
Thanks - updated.
re: Punta de Maisi Airport name
Thanks for the information. Google Maps still shows this as "Punta de Maisi" airport. Is there an official source where we can confirm the other name?
Zunigas
My home port. That great little restaurant is Zunigas. They have a great little gar as well--Jesus is there to serve you.
Service
We landed and taxied to the Jet Center and had awesome service. They parked us, took us to our hotel and picked us up in the morning for our return flight. Highly recomment this place/
In service?
Is this airport in service?
services for GA/Business aircraft
...overall they do a really good job here, very modern facilities compared to the rest of Central and Latin America.
re: Stoney Creek Airport
Yeah great place to land and chat with friendly aviators. I was in one of their meetings and it included a guest speaker.
That night was about avionics, it was great.
They also had some pretty interesting presentations by Transport Canada, the place was packed, great ground support to land and tiedown. The food was great and affordable.
Great club to join
Stoney Creek Airport
Friendly airfield managed by EAA Chapter 65, two runways, one grass one paved, both are well kept.
Paved runway open for summer and winter flying.
Chapter 65 members always available and ready to help.
Graet place to fly, they have monthly meetings 2nd Friday of the month.
A lot of activity during the weekends

re: Wrong frequencies
This website isn't supposed to be a substitute for legal datasources like your own country's aeronautical information publications or Jeppesen. It's crowd sourced, which means if you know something is wrong, tell us the correct values and we'll correct what we have.
Wrong frequencies
The communication frequencies are wrong. They are so out of date I WOULD NEVER TRUST THIS WEBSITE'S DATA.
re: noise compaling
Too funny and inaccurate statement. Maybe one should talk to neighbors that have been here over 30 years.
GIF - Winter Haven - Excellent Flight School (Tailwheelsetc)
Awesome experience with primary training. Intense and very rewarding. Family like environment.
Lovely Aerodrome
Very well maintained airstrip, with good approaches and easy to find, just north-east of Alliston. Northbound short final you literally fly between the hangars - though they are wide apart enough, no risk at all. Lots of nice private aircrafts in a good shape parked around - Luscombe, RV, square-tail Cessna, Cub, Kitfox... Tried to find the owner to say hi, but everything was closed and quiet.
noise compaling
unfortunately this person making these complaints moved in May 2010. The airport has been there since 72. Getting a better real estate agent or looking at a map could have solved their problems.
re: Twin Oaks Airpark pilots harass neighbors
Reply to @david: The neighborhood has been around for 50 years and the airport only 20 something years. It always sounds like it is the homeowners fault but not true, in this case.
The airport has encroached and abused on the only settlement in the area with acres and acres of other land to fly. One pays higher prices in Oregon to live in the country and then the unscrupulous aviation interests slide things by the homeowners.
re: Twin Oaks Airpark pilots harass neighbors
I'm sorry to hear the neighbours are unhappy. Is the airport new, or was it built before the homes around it? Flying circuits ("patterns" in the US) is a very important part of pilot training and practice for experienced pilots - the planes take off from one end of the runway, turn, fly the opposite direction beside the runway at about 1,000 ft above the ground, and then come back and land on the same runway again (and repeat).
This is a normal activity at any airport, but sometimes it can be hard for people nearby, which is why most airports were originally built far from densely-populated areas where they wouldn't bother too many people. Unfortunately, unscrupulous developers will often come in and built subdivisions near airports anyway, and then not tell buyers the whole truth about what it means living near an airport (personally, I don't mind planes at 1,000 ft over my house -- I can't usually hear them over the city noise of cars, trucks, buses, sirens, lawnmowers, and construction).
Twin Oaks Airpark pilots harass neighbors
The pilots out of this airpark harass neighbors next to the airpark with their low flying, and continuous flying around properties.
Contact information
Hello: Would you please provide me with the name and mailing address of the director or president. Thank you. Isabel Kearns
Parking
I want to drive to the airport from edmonton. Can I park my car there. I dont
Want to have to pay $80 to a cab company, and another 80 when I return. to
needs new manager
seems shady in my opinion
Gun Lake airport
Have never landed there, but been there many times. Very sandy, bit soft maybe, 2000 feet long? Hopefully land there one day.
GA Friendly Airport
A very nice place to land while visiting the Niagara Falls (don't forget to check out the CYR 518 rules before attempting to fly over the waterfall!) Huge pawed runways, lots of parking space, absolutely friendly and helpful people at the FBO and on St. Catharines radio. Pleasure to visit or fly by, easy to find.
Nice Family airport, All Welcome
This is a nice family airport where everyone, GA, Ultraligh, LSA, Experimental, PPG or trike, If that thing flies, its welcome. We offer GA gas at the lower price you can find. Please, visit us.

Worst Airport Ever
Let me list the reasons:
1)Last flight to Charlottetown always delayed. Always a different reason
2)Ground crew work for the Sopranos - if you land 1 minute early or or 1 minute late, the ground crew needs to be redispatched, forget it if lightning is seens 1000kms away, cus they are not going on the tarmac.
3)Small, dirty washrooms
4)Narrow congrested corridors
5)Terminal A under the tunnel is always sweltering hot
6)Terrrible food selection
re: Questionable Owners
So where *do* you hope people crash?
Questionable Owners
I hope that no once crashes here
