Does Kaslo Airport have a call sign, like Victoria's YYJ
Does Kaslo Airport have a call sign, like Victoria's YYJ
Great food!
Flew three friends here from Rockcliffe CYRO for lunch. It was a Friday, about 1:30, when I arrived.
Very busy - there were helicopter arrivals and departures, as well as lots of movements of SE fixed wing. The flying club / restaurant is at the east end of the runway (no taxiway), and there were several overshoots due to traffic not having yet cleared the runway (CSE4 uses R28 whenever possible, which results in less backtracking that R10).
No issues with language - lots of english in the circuit, with some french.
And the food!!! I had a simple club sandwich, and it was tasty beyond belief. With a ton of well-cooked frend fries. Those that had the smoked meat sandwich also raved about the food.
sight seeing flight
My husband loves to fly and he and my son took a sight seeing flight out of this airport and i was wondering if they still over these flights and what the prices are now? my email address is rachelcarroll012@yahoo.com if someone could please get me this info.
landing at stirling
very active strip with a large membership with welcoming members .Gas is availible when members are around. landing on 09 needs your attention on days if wind is strong from the west. land a bit long, as down drafts are present if you try to "land on the numbers" also if its a hot day,and winds are light and you are close to gross in a150 or a 140 piper you may want to take of down wind as trees are 35 feet tall right at threshold of 09 and there is a slight uphill grade when taking off towards the east, were as 27 , the land drops away over the cliff [comments from a fellow flyer how has flown out of here for many years}
airport condition
this airport has excellent approaches from east or west with no wires or trees, runway is grass but smooth ,two mooney,s flight off here as well as twins and other 4 place aircraft. The airport is own by jim marker . Members of the flying club currently do the grass cutting. David Byrd has been doing the bulk of the
work along with Mike Fox. the field is prior permission only at this time.
Good lunch run
Great restaurant. Friendly staff.

Homebuilt flow from Guelph Airport to Goderich in October 20
I am trying to locate Brian Harrington who flew a homebuilt aircraft from Guelph to Goderich. I believe Brian knew my father many years ago. Does anyone know him? If so please contact me at maryeoneil52@yahoo.com. Thanks
approach
interesting place. Surrounded by mountains - approach carefully. Slope up hill on 28 like a ski jump. Nice FBO - odd in the middle of nowhere. People came out in a hurry b/c they thought the pump was broken. Stopped for fuel on the way home. I'd stop again.
re: Kingston Ultralight Club
Sounds great. I'd love to drop by in my Warrior for a visit, but a 1,200 ft grass strip doesn't leave a lot of safety margin (it's doable, especially when I'm lightly loaded, but closer than I like). Maybe I'll drive in some Sunday.
Kingston Ultralight Club
Camden East airport is the home station of the Kingston Ultralight club, the group flies, powered chutes, trikes and fixed wing. Club meets 1st Sunday of each month at the strip 0900 hrs. The club is both a COPA flight and a UPAC Squadron.
re: Sparwood NDB
I confirmed this also via the latest CFS and updated the entry.
Sparwood NDB
Sparwood NDB is on 200 kHz, not 400 kHz.

Quiet and friendly to ultralights
The field is nicely maintained by EAA chapter 65. If you fly there regularly, they ask you join them ($50/year or so).
Friendly owner
The field's owner, Newton Little, is an aviation enthusiast that is too old to fly but maintains the strip and welcomes guest pilots. He lives in the house next to the field - please ask him for permission or inquire about hangaring your plane there. There is also an RC field on the premises. Great scenery to the NW.
Looks like the airport is closing
Cadillac Fairview will be developing the airport lands.

Whitehorse Ranch Airport
Great landmark when flying the Black Rock / Owyhee area. Good emergency field, the associated ranch is about 3/4 mile East of the strip. Probably not a good idea to drop in uninvited without a really good reason.
Sea plane base is closed
Lake is drying fast , and not really enough depth to land on water here ( water is a loose term, for mud and sludge )
Vending machines
The flying school is the only (sort-of) public building at the airport. It has washrooms, a restaurant that operates only on weekends, and vending machines available the rest of the week.
Fuel
Burlington has both 100LL and Jet-A. The fuel pumps are operated by the airport, not the Spectrum Airways flight school.
Expensive airport
I just called Glanford Aviation (Shell), the only FBO that appears to offer 100LL, and they charge a $25 facility fee for a single-engine piston plane (not waived with a fill-up) on top of the airport's $18.50 minimum landing fee. That means that you're out $43.50 + HST = $48.72 the second your wheels hit the Shell apron, before you even start to put fuel in your tank. Would you fill up your car at a gas station that charged almost $50 to just to enter their lot and park in front of the pump?
Even big-city airports are usually much cheaper than this (Pearson is, of course, an exception). I don't know what the city of Hamilton (and Shell) are thinking, except that they want to scare as many visitors as possible away from Hamilton, and make sure no one spends any money in the local economy.
re: Restaurant?
Reply to @bcrosby:
As of a year ago ,No, but the people at the airport are more than happy to accomodate you if you want to go to town for lunch or ?(we ate at the Beanery GREAT place)

re: re: project not approved
Reply to @AndreVenture:
Yesterday, at 9h45 the Supreme Court of Canada said that Aviation is under Federal juridiction ONLY!!!! The provincial and municipal governments have nothing to say about where and how to built an airport!!!
Wittman
Winnebago County could care less about this airport, there is no promotion what so ever, meanwhile Outagamie and Austin Straubel have first class facilities...What a waste of taxpayers money..
Berz Airport
Well someone has there facts wrong, I was a regular at Berz from 1961 to 1970, I was employed there from 1966-1970. No Learjet came in 1967 that's for sure. October 1966 American Jet Leasing was the first Lear to arrive and depart at this airport, the next time a Lear came in was 1968 when Bill Freehan and Denny McClain chartered one from Pepsi-Cola to fly to Denver after winning the World Series. Berz was sold to Rockwell and it became Grand Prix Airport in 1971 that remained until the county bought it where it is now Oakland Troy Executive..
Pilot Pete's
Great airport restaurant
Fast food within walking distance
There's a McD's and a Subway just northeast of the field, there might be some other places too...
Very scenic but was a bit bumpy when I visited (lots of hills around).

CBR2 is its ICAO code. It doesn't have an IATA code.
