CHN - Wauchula - Night approach
Same night training flight - Moonless, cloudless. Arriving from the south, fire up the PCL, you can see this one from 10 nm out
X25 - Arcadia - Night is Dark
Landed here during night training - moonless, cloudless, landing RWY 5 the runway lights/environment just float is a sea of darkness - needless to say the first landing approach was high.
LEE - Leesburg - Helpful ATC
One of the many airports on my solo XC during ASEL - controllers very helpful even recognizing return flights.
CGC - Crystal River - DQ Stop
Flew into CGC for Solo-XC as part of ASEL. Easy to spot from SE.
Extra bonus - a Dairy Queen adjacent to field, great refreshment after baking in the sun for a few hours.
KMSN - Madison - Wisconsin Aviation treats you very well
Awesome experience for a day trip into MSN.
Wisconsin Aviation had me park the Cherokee right up in front next the bus. jets -
Courtesy car available and clean.
C02 - Grand Geneva -
Another SE Wisconsin trip worth the visit. The resort is upscale and boasts a great lunch.
Town of Lake Geneva is a few minutes away and offers shops, water activities, beach. Just a great place to loaf a day away.
As the former Playboy club property from 1968 till 1983, there is an occasional re-union - how do I know? I just happened to take the father-in-law in for a flight.
C59 - Lake Lawn Lodge - Hope it reopens
A great place just to go for lunch.
Took the family for a day outing to play around the lodge.
Lodge and Airstrip closed in late 2010. I hear the lodge may re-open in 2011. Don't know about the airstrip.
05C - Griffith-Merrillville - Mexican Food on Airport
Great place for both 100LL and Human Fuel (on airport Mexican cafe).
If you're there at night during late summer, watch out for mosquitoes - they are huge and have a big appetite (I had quite the cabin cleanup after smashing a dozen or so).
KPGD - Punta Gorda - Awesome Bay Views
Views of the bay towards the west are fantastic.
X07 - Lake Wales - Lots of Rubber on the RWY
Many tire marks from my primary training at Lake Wales.
A bit deserted but a good place for practice
CDK - Cedar Key - Gulf Front
Awesome little strip just off the water - spectacular views.
Watch the sea breezes.
3D2 For the Day - Very Friendly
Flew into 3D2 for a day trip - lunch, sites.
Friendly Staff. Local business will ferry you between Airport and town or take the bicycles.
Nice Little AP
Like RWY 11, Rgt. Traffic, 2700".
Watch for feathered flying friends on approach.
that's me standing there
we were looking at the work that was just done to the txy.
Saratoga
Hi,
I presently own a Piper Cherokee PA-28 140, with a private pilot license. I am looking to buy a Piper Saratoga Turbo in the US and would like to train on one now so I can get current in this model and can bring it back. I am going in Rochester New York, on May 18, to get my American Pilot License. I have a night rating and I am within a coupe of hours to get my VFROTT.
I would be interested in renting a Saratoga or maybe if no Saratoga are available a Piper Six. And pay for some training on it. Do you or any of your member have a Saratoga (preferably a T-Saratoga) that I could rent or inquiry for rent and training.

the placing is great the only few things that it could use at times the runaway could use a little work and i would like to see some form of transportation ( the only thing around is a 2 car taxi service ). but lots of wine only 15 minutes drive from Vineland with lots of vineyards and a wine festival in the spring. also close to Hamilton and 30 minutes from Niagara Falls
re: a.k.a. KARS - A Nice Grass Strip
The web site of Rideau Valley Soaring School has moved to rvss.ca
Not for me...
Drove in this evening (7PM) for a friendly hello and to check out grass landing strip..... Manager was very gruff and overly aggressive.... not good for someone in business... too bad... I might have wanted to tie my plane(s) down there..... I wouldn't land there now in an emergency. Good luck!
re: Stolen items from luggage
You're an absolute idiot for putting those types of items in your checked baggage anyway, so you have no one to blame but yourself. Firstly - why would you even bring that type of jewellry with you in the first place ( do you really need to flash your baubles on the beach ) and secondly, if they're so precious to you - why aren't you WEARING your engagement/wedding rings??
I wouldn't even put expensive/sentimental items in my checked baggage if I was flying through Heathrow/Frankfurt/Dulles let alone a country like Cuba. If I had something precious and didn't want anything to happen to it, it wouldn't leave my side - so once again, it's your own stupid fault for leaving it in your checked baggage.
re: Wha Ti' is not a Nunavut Airport
Fixed!
Wha Ti' is not a Nunavut Airport
Wha Ti' is located in the Northwest Territories
Re: Canada Customs
The St. Lazare airport is not a designated airport of entry for the Canadian Border Services Agency. Les Cedres airport to the south is an airport of entry designated for CANPASS permit holders only. Otherwise, you will need to clear at CYUL, CYMX, CYHU or CSE4 (Lachute).
Nice airport
Nice place, nice people.
re: Home base on the island
Reply to @cvander: Would you be interested in sharing your hangar at Gore Bay airport? I'd like to bring my aircraft there occasionally in the summer but would like to keep it "inside". I haven't made the plunge yet to lease a hangar for the whole year. Please send me a note at kapling01-lancair@yahoo.com . Thanks!
Summer visitors
If only you could rent a hangar for the summer months. It seems cost inefficient to rent a hangar for the whole year and only use it for four or five months. Maybe the airport should look into some type of temporary summer hangars?
Lots of parking and fuel, great hotel
Great place to stop over night. Lots of parking near the Casino/Hotel and fuel service.

Kugluktuk (aka Coppermine pre-1996)
100 LL is available here. Time-expired but still good. Drums are sealed. About $450 per drum, full drums only. Co-Op is the dealer (867) 982-4231. Call-out charges after-hours. Bring your own pump, bung wrench and filter.
No tie-downs. 5,500 x 150 gravel.
Overnight stays not recommended if on floats due to exposed location, limited beach area and vandalism. Since you won't get an overnight hotel room during the summer anyway, fly out to a good fishing spot and camp for the night.
No camping at the airport but there is a campsite about a mile from the airport. No taxi - you'll have to bum a ride (what can I say - we're embarrassingly backward!).
Contact the local resident pilot (through the RCMP) for possible assistance.

ILS / PAPI Angles
Some useless trivia... the ILS glideslope for runway 08 is 3.5 degrees (PAPI 3.9 degrees). The ILS glideslope for runway 26 is 4.8 degrees (as is the PAPI). The PAPI angle for runway 15 is 5.5 degrees, which is the same as the ILS at London City Airport (EGLC). The steepest ILS that I could find is at Lugano, Switzerland (LSZA); the ILS glideslope is 6.65 degrees.
re: Fuel Availability
As far as I know, the airbase has been closed for sometime.
Fuel Availability
Can fuel be purchased at this location?
re: My Home Base
Reply to @dazuppa: it's not hard to bring a Cherokee in on a 6+ deg glidepath - I'm guessing the ILS 26 isn't quite that steep.
Great service.
Gary McCartan is awesome. Bends over backwards to be of service to you as a pilot.
canada customs
that is a great comment, I was wondering how the customs checks are done at St. LAzare airport??
NICE!
The grass strip at Randle-Kiona Airpark is lovely. The folks who live there must be proud of their hard work at making their landing strip so nice.
