Hi, i was wondering if there was a flight from your airport to edmonton ? Thanks
Invermere Airport
Watch out for the crazy guy in hanger 1. Pulled up to FBO for fuel and he comes out screaming violently at us that we blew dust around his hanger. Thought he was going to hit us or our aircraft. Seems he thinks this is his private airport and although right beside the fuel that he should scream at anyone that pulls up. Suggestion: public airport beside fuel, close your door when someone pulls up or move away from fuel.
New Frequency
The Pacific Radio RCO is 125.85 and the LWOS is 129.175
great place to stop
I stopped at Valemount in my RV9 both on the way from Vancouver to Edmonton and on the reverse. Excellent clear approaches for 14 and 32. There is a small terminal building where you can get a biobreak and 100LL is available self serve. Bring your credit card for the fuel.

CAB5 Bronson Creek.
I have been a flight sim enthusiast form may years. My favorite session is to fly from PAWG to CAB5. CAB5 is on my bucket list to see in real life.
PPR and Landing Fees?
CFS says PPR and Landing Fees, can anyone confirm?

Visited with my Dad (Bill Lawson) when about 9 yrs old. He was "District inspector, Western Airways". Went there again recently when my kids gave me a hangliding flight for Birthday present ... Fantastic!! Short flight time though ... got to do it again.
My 3-yr-old Grandson would say for couple months after: "CandaGrampa on kite in sky!"
Runway Condition
As of 22 Jul 2014, runway partly overgrown with grass but appears to still be in fair condition, a deep unmarked ditch has been plowed across each end of the runway. Runway does not appear to have any maintenance, possible helo use only. Shown as abandoned on VNC.
Tiedowns
This place sucks for tie downs! Had to chip away at concrete to free up old concreted over tie downs. Not a friendly transient airport, long was from town and lodging. Only one taxi.
Customs
Good for Northbound customs. Call first

It's interesting to see the mine site 26 years after I was hauling fuel there with CMA'S AIRCRAFT. Strange to see it abandonded. Was a very busy airport in 1988
Grass Roots Flying
1000 ft grass strip. 40 ft wide. 3 rows of open air hangars.
If you can land here, you land most anywhere!
Stave Lake Airport
At the back end of stave lake, Mission B.C.
Best Grass Strip EVER!
We easily landed our PC-12 and parked in front of the rental at the Mabel Lake Lodge we found at VRBO and mabellakelodge.com. The lake has beautiful sandy beaches, great golfing, the calmest water for skiing and amazing fishing. One last piece of virtually untouched paradise.
Literally like landing on a golf green and we can park our C
2900 feet of irrigated golf green maintained by the professionally designed (renowned course architect Les Furber ) Mabel Lake Golf Resort and Airpark. Twin Comanche, Caravans, PC-12s, Cirrus, Cessna and Piper are common aircraft landing here throughout the spring and summer.
One beautiful airport
Best thing about Golden airport its is location - simply gorgeous! The town itself looks a bit beaten by today's economy, but still cute.
Approaches are wide open, though terrain is quite high and circuit looks pretty "interesting" on the downwind. Look for the electric station, cables and posts while on short final northbound. Nothing special, obstacles clearly marked - just don't come in too flat.
Active helicopter traffic, so stay on the radio - and these guys are professionals! Hangglider and paraglider ramp on the mountain SE of the airport - like a huge bald spot near the top - with corresponding activity. Keep an eye on them while flying towards Alberta, following the published VFR route
Friendly and clean FBO, runway and the ramp in good conditions. Pleasure to visit.
Hastings Field
Hastings Field named after gentlemen who built it. He has since passed away and his son John Hastings looks after it now though it and the 45 acres it sits on are for sale.
Gillies Bay
Nice asphalt strip. Call Ravenous Raven Cafe and they will pick up and drop off at strip.
Contact information
Hi,
We are tried to calling and it said the phone number was disconnected. Can you please provide us with the correct phone number? We are interested in landing at the airport when we fly out to Shuswap.
Thank you for your help,
Megan and Steve
Well maintained
This airport is a very nice airport,i just didn't like the waiting for your plane room. I felt like a fish in a fish tank.
re: Hastings Field
I'm trying to find the name of the person who recently cut the airstrip in Jul 2013. I own a nearby one-acre field in Port Washington which desperately needs cutting and can't find anyone to do it.
Thanks,
Jan

Lovely airport
Nice and quiet mountainous airport - located in a beautiful valley, with excellent runway, very well cared about, and just slightly challenging approaches due to elevated terrain surrounding the field. Nothing to be worried about if your plane can perform - and the scenery around is simply adorable! Note that you can easily barge into US airspace flying southbound, so keep your eyes open unless that was your plan...
Commercial float plane
Hi, is there any commercial company that will fly passengers to Harrison Lake?
Runway condition
Wind sock ripped and unreliable, runway still in decent shape despite some overgrowth, at least 2000ft good, as of Aug 2012. tall trees on either end
slope
asl 375 button 09 425 button 27.
Mica Creek Airport
Mica Creek Airport is located approximately 20 km south of the Mica Creek Townsite. There are small willows and trees starting to grow on the fringe of the stripe. The approximate length of the stripe is 3000'.
Hastings Field
Only one way in and the opposite way out. Long grass strip running uphill - lots of distance although I don't know the length. The owner keeps it cut (friendly too). There is a for sale sign so it could be your next life.
all staff in Vancouver

Pitt Meadows Airport
Love the Airport. Friendly people.
Airport Identifier incorrect.
YSN is the identifier for St. Catherines airport in Ontario (near Niagara Falls).
BC Airlines float base on Powell Lake 1957-58
Maurie Mercer was BC Airlines base pilot on Powell Lake in 1958 when I was working for Bill Gaston at the little Shell station there. Mauie gave me my first airplane ride. It was a Cessna 170.. I would love to know the call letters of that airplane and locate a picture of it too if anyone has one. I can be reached at jpveale@shaw.ca Thanks

BAE typhoon fighter jet
It is possible that a Typhoon fighter jet will land on the runway at Kaslo, B.C., Canada.
I am not joking.
CYKA
Not much to say.
Camp
Base for my Super Cub Ultra in FSX. Camping, flights to glaciers and flying the rivers. Apparantly it is not open, so it's pretty quiet there...
Qulichena airport
Good condition gravel strip (Sept 2012), helpful friendly people, and one of the few places where you can get mogas, both regular and premium. Flying a plane with a Rotax 912 engine this is really appreciated. Most high wing airplanes will be able to roll right up to the pumps (its a regular car gas station). The top of the gate posts needed to be about 6 inches lower for us so we used a fuel jug and pump we had on board to transfer fuel. Its only about 250 feet from the pump to the end of the runway so it wasn't too onerous but it would have been fun to pull right up to the pump.
Just be sure to note the power lines along the road.
re: Incorrect link
Where are you seeing the broken link?
Sea plane base!
I didn't know if I'd find this one in here but I did! My one and only sea plane ride. I swear the pilot had been sipping some whiskey when he came to pick us up, but he did take us for spectacular plane ride along the coast.
Incorrect link
Clicking on 'Coal Harbour Seaplane Base' takes users to the 'Port Hardy Seaplane Base CAQ3' page by mistake.
re: Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 20
You should know that under US and probably Canadian law, a pilot who agreed to fly you is taking a big risk unless they could prove that they would have made the flight without you. Offering to fly somebody somewhere for "some $$$ .. or whathaveyou" would be seen as "holding out" as a commercial operator.
Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 2012
Last Minute Idea; Live five mins from Glenora ..... Looking for a flight/ride to Seattle to see the Nationals this weekend! Anyone interested or do you know anyone that might be interested in flying us there and back? We(my hubbie and I) are looking for a ride and are willing to put some $$ towards the flight or "whathaveyou". Leave Thursday late afternoon, return Friday evening or Friday morning and return either Friday evening or Saturday morning. Pls email carriebell@shaw.ca
Fuel: 100LL and Jet A available at the large hangar. !00L

No cabs @ 100 Mile House anymore (as of June 2012).
The Ramada is a good stay. Safeway for groceries across the street from the airport.
Dittos on the runway slope. Unless wind prohibits, land 08 and takeoff 26.

Air Base at Dog Creek
🔗 Wed, 02 Sep 2015
— Anonymous Flyer at Dog Creek Airport, Canada
My father was stationed at Dog Creek upon his return from WWII as an evader, prisoner and escapee. After he married my Mom, he had to hide her on the base as no women were allowed! He tells me the men saved their beer rations, pooled them together and drank them after VE Parade in Williams Lake. He was there from late 1944 to about the fall of 1945, when he was discharged from the Air Force.
My husband and I were in the Dog Creek area today, September 1, 2105, and spoke with a First Nation local, who directed us out of town to the site, but we could find no evidence of the airport.
