Crypto scam recovery
I know how it feels to be a scam victim because I was once lured years back. I lost some funds investing into a forex trade turned out to be scam. I remember how hard surviving was and how I had to live my life knowing I didn't have much in my savings. Afterwards, I linked up with an online recovery team (Blockchainrecall@gmail.com). They put me through some steps and collected my information about the scam. I am really impressed on how they recovered my scammed funds. If anyone finds this review useful, contact them immediately via mail Blockchainrecall(at)gmail(dot)com.
Odd Little Airport
The runway is 6500 ft long but only 2000 ft near the middle are paved. Local lore says that the owner built it to fly his Learjet from.
Small Private Airstrip
One of several Ottawa-area airports modelled for MS Flight Simulator 2004 by Roger Wensley. Visible in GeoOttawa's 1976 imagery, clearly extended further west by 1991 and graveled or paved. Extended even further west and shortened at the east end when houses were built on the east end of the runway in the late 1990s.

Pontiac Airpark is Back
It's not listed in the CFS any more, but it's definitely still in use. Several posts in Ottawa-area aviation Facebook groups show the runways being cleared in 2022 and hosting a fly-in in 2024.
GO HERE
You can park at Porter FBO for 5 hours, if staying longer I recommend Stalport. Either case, you need to book at least a few hours ahead of time.
Walk to downtown Toronto in like 5 mins. Bike rentals just outside of the tunnel and Uber anywhere too. Or grab a water taxi to the islands.
Landing fee is about $35, fuel is always cheaper here than most smaller airports. Porter parking for 5 hours is $50, Stalport is a bit more, but longer timelines.
Make sure you read the CFS carefully for this airport, there are specific arrival procedures for VFR
Such a fun destination
I go here regularly. If you call the Kingston Flying Club ahead of time you might be able to book a courtesy car, which is AWESOME.
The views flying through here are amazing, and downtown Kingston a short Uber ride away (if you don't get a car) is super nice, lots of shops, vibrant water-front.
re: DAY USE ONLY
Reply to @Peacewind152: I ran over that divot last weekend! Quickly pulled up to keep the prop off the ground. Can't believe a year later and it hasn't been fixed yet.
Nice Airport to visit!
Uber serves this airport, it's a short ride to the Carp Farmers Market on Saturday mornings (one of the largest farmers markets around)
Village of Carp also has a couple of nice coffee shops, a micro-brew restaurant, amazing ice-cream shop.
March Golf Course is across the street of the rwy 28 threashold (it's a long walk, but Uber would be a short ride, could potentially call the golf course for a ride too)
reccomend
Lush Grass strip like landing on carpet with camping
Clear Creek International Airport
Clear Creek International Airport is a very challenging grass airstrip. It not only requires a Supercub, Maule, Husky, light Cessna 180 or similar type aircraft, but very a proficient pilot too. That said, the runway is in great condition and offers great hunting and fishing opportunities. Please feel free to contact me for information or permission to land. James Black
Not closed, just seasonal
The Canada Flight Supplement current to 17 April 2025 lists Morrisburg as an open airport, code CNS8. I'm not sure why it was marked closed; maybe someone was confused as the airport only operates 16 May to 15 Oct and has Xs placed on the runway for the winter.
Long Runway
It's a long runaway. But other than that. Good City Choice

Helipad was constructed in 2024 after the closure of CYKZ
Not listed in the CFS
Despite what the golf club's wesite says, this helipad is not registered and listed in the CFS
re: "Dangerous" airport
Reply to @david: I feel like the pilots going into St Barts enjoy the challenge. That hill being on approach due to prevailing winds seems utterly wild, but the frequency of incidents here is lower than many other more "conventional" airfields.
Anonymous flyer problem report
2024-12-15 21:13:30
We sat on our plane for over an hour waiting for the truck to come and de-ice our plane then it ran out of de-icer and didnโt com back for over another hour! We were not updated and why is there not more support to de-ice planes? This is not good practice, customer service or acceptable for us to have to sit here for over 2 hours. I personally had to try to rearrange my transportation from the airport as I had a previously scheduled van pick up. Everyone is very frustrated.
R/C Strip
Possibly briefly in use as a STOL strip, but not to be confused with the Aruba Flying Club airfield (De Vuijst Field) which was active from 1942 through the 1970s, to the south or the Palo Marga drag strip to the north, which hosted one landing and takeoff of a Canadian Learjet air ambulance 24 May 2006 which mistook Palo Marga for Queen Juliana International Airport (big whoops).
Aerodrome operational
Contact Trafico Altamirano on 122.500. Runway has loose gravel, but otherwise in good condition. Watch for animals on runway.
Drove in Flew out
Purchace and airplane here.
Runway 08T-26T
Note that the runway designations end in "T" because they're based on true rather than magnetic headings; that's standard for airports in the high Arctic.
Operated by the U.S.
This is a U.S. military base, operated within NATO under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
Not to be confused with Hamilton Municipal Airport
Hamilton Municipal Airport (KMNZ) has the FAA LID "MNZ", identical to this airport's IATA code, which confuses flight-tracking sites. Note that "HEF" is the FAA LID for Manassas Regional, but *not* the IATA code.
Not to be confused with Manassas Regional Airport
Manassas Regional Airport (KHEF) has the IATA code MNZ, which is identical to the FAA LID for this airport (the FAA LID for Manassas is HEF). This confuses most flight-tracking sites.
Heliport closed
No one lives in the village any longer, so the heliport has been closed. See Wikipedia link

Never opened
This multimillion dollar facility never took off. See Wikipedia article for one of the most ill-fated military aviation facilities in American history.
MMPE identifier reassigned
MMPE is now Mar de Cortรฉs International Airport.
CLOSED!!!
As of January 1st, 2025, the airport is permanently closed. Nothing says honoring history like paving over the past. May the new owners fail miserably and never need to travel anywhere by air.

re: airline info to hOBBY
Southwest, use that guy from 8 years ago
re: Closed
Reply to @Fadamor: Per your problem report: "The only thing remaining of the runway are broken bits of asphalt. Pilots wishing to fly into Raton, NM should use KRTN about 8 miles to the south of the former NM67."
Dulles Aviation Closed
KHEF is undergoing a major renovation on the West Ramp and in the future for the East Ramp. The Dulles Aviation Building and the neighboring hangar have been razed. The current plan is to upgrade the West Apron for more turbine services. Additionally, the Airport Management are working with the FAA to get scheduled passenger service using narrow-body aircraft (B737, A320, etc.) Currently those plans aren't expected to bear fruit for five years or so.
Closed
This airstrip used to provide service to the La Mesa Park (Horse) Racetrack that was located just across the street to the north. The racetrack and airstrip operated from 1946 to 1992.
Great food stop
In-n-out burger 10 minute walk from the field!
USA misconception
I was searching up "USA" just trying to find all the airports of the USA and this popped up.
Freaking out when Landing
When I was landing at 08L, I thought the plane will take an emergency landing! (I was on United 789, a 777-2000
Glamping available here!
The owner has some tents setup on platforms for a deluxe flyin camping experience!
Wounderful day destination
Flew in, rented a bike and peddled to a selection of restaurants.
A fun flight!
Beware the density altitude, the runway is shorter than many are accustomed to.
Most supportive operations experience
In Jan 2022 in what I recall was zero degree conditions, the operations manager made sure I was able to get my plane moved, warmed and able to depart.
Great destination airport. Nearby is the Iron B&B. Perfect base location to fly the Loring and Frenchville triangle of northern Maine.
24 hr SS 100LL and no fees at the time I utilized this airport.
Runway 32 approach is dramatic
The airport is on a bluff, much hgher the the surrounding terrain. The approach end of runway 32 is the most dramatic example of the land elevation difference.
This is the most northern of the northern Maine triangle of scenic airports. Caribou and historical Loring being the other 2.
I've cleared into the US here as well.
Nice destination, convention customs entry
Last time I visited was 2022, so comments might no longer apply.
Cleared in from Canada here. Comfortable operations building with 24hr access. No fees.
