is there any service providing float plane charters out of N
If anyone knows of anyone, please have them contact me - Matt Arnold - mharnold1@outlook.com or mobile 201 774 4746 thx!!!!
Thought I would try it....
I should have listened. Waste of time! Rude worker or owner! I don't know which. Guess they are trying to sell it so don't care anymore. Who would buy it in its current shape???? Niagara on the Lake is THE place to go and just a few minutes away as the plane flies!!!!
Great little airport - Noone home
Arrived on Friday evening at ~6pm from Barrie. No one was home to answer unicom. Landed and the terminal was empty, they close at 5pm but leave the front open for transient pilots to use the washrooms, get coffee, or borrow a bike if need be. Beware that means there is no one for the fuel pumps and it is $100 to call out (on top of fuel, not waved for min purchase) so if you're arriving after 5 plan accordingly for fuel.
Take off over lake Erie was fun! Great airport, will be back!
Petawawa NDB (YWA)
I just wanted to state that I've also bin able to hear YWA even in the warmer months, although not as often and not as strong as in the Winter. Additionally, in the warmer months there is usually lightening strike noise to contend with. I monitor 516 kHz several times each night for YWA and about one every two weeks or so in the warmer months I cam hear it. More frequently I hear NAVTEX in 518 coming through all year round. I monitor YWA for year round MF propagation study. 73, George N2CG
Agreed - Better places to land
Much better to go to NOTL. Better shape, more to do in local area. I won't land here again.
YWA NDB
I heard the NDB this morning 6/6/15 at 0818z on 520KHz from St. Johns, Michigan (grid locator EN73) 520 is as low as I can get my cheapie grundig receiver to go. -Todd KB8OYR
Guelph airport status May 2015
There are 2 runways: 32/14 is night lit and free to all use; 23/05 is blocked to training due to high trees on approach to 23; there is a parallel grass strip at 23/05. Brampton is no longer training in Guelph, Kitchener may use the 32/14 runway for training. Low lead 100 available, but no source for oil; AME not often on the field.
The restaurant is open and satisfactorily busy.
Unicom (123.00) is not manned; another pilot might give help if requested.
3 point aviation with their tail wheel planes have moved to Kitchener as has the gyrocopter school. The "Tiger Boys" with their Tiger Moths are still located at Guelph.
Menu updated
As the author of a previous post which recommended you do not stop here for food...it has become necessary to update my comments.
I stop here regularly for mogas and one recent evening as it was almost 2200 figured I would try the restaurant. (surprised to see it was still open!)
As I sat down I just said 'burger and fries please'....its usually at that point that I get told that I am in a 'bistro'..and presented with a menu of things like squid gizzard and such. Not tonight
Apparently the menu has been greatly re-tuned (or de-tuned)...now appearing.....burgers, fish&chips etc (all of my favorites!!)
Everything is still 'a-la-bistro' (squareplate fancypants)...but in the case of their burger and fries....that now means 'super-awesome!'
Very highly recommended!!! and service is A++
Port Hope (Peter's Field)
Very nice grass runways, impeccably kept. North end of North-south runways is being widened and elevated slightly.
Alban Airport
Does anyone know if Alban Airport will re-open in 2015?
Friendly airport - Great owner!
We, Harry(Zodiac 600) and a Roy(Challenger II), landed at this field as a diversion due to weather and picked up by a friendly pilot (Rick) who lives in town and offered us a place to spend night. Came back later part of the day to tiedown the planes and were extreamly happy/pleased to see that the owner had already anchored and tied them for us :). Neat place to see the glider activity and a plane that they use to tow glider up.
Really nice
A very nice airport, was there early March. There was no traffic, and someone answered my Unicom call for traffic and airport advisory! Runway 17/35 is very narrow and Threshold is in a bit of awkward position, but very nicely maintained! I would recommend this airport to anyone!
Markham Airport CNU8
Great airport ,great training facilities and very friendly people. There is a lot of ex military fighter jets on display. I'd recommend this airport to everyone.
FRom an active pilot based at this field
Length 1,950', width 120', elevation 820'. Runway well maintained, very smooth and grass is kept short. Clear approaches on both ends, wires on west end buried. Be aware of the road on west end, it is active and frequented by semis.

Nice fascility - Unfriendly community
I did a fuel stop over from my flight to Baldwin from Qubec city here in summer 2013. Found the guy on unicom and in terminal very friendly but the pilot there renting a 172 there with his family was very dry and didnt even bother providing me any information when I requested. 'This is a club building' and I was not allwed to relax there for a bit. Ended up relaxing on grass outside the terminal listening to the radio inside.
In short, a great airport for stop over but be prepared to ignore some of the roughest or dry aviation people in the club side of the airport that I have ever come accross.
Ultralighter's Heaven
This is a small airport with lots of lively aviation spirit in it. Lots of challengers becuse of a challenger builder, inspector and a instructor on site. Also a home base for the Advanced ultralight SONEX aircraft. This is one airport where you will find minimum 'dead' aircrafts sitting collecting sun or dust. Very helpful community and the parachute school loves pilots who talk to them on radio. A easy airport to fly in, provided you talk to unicom and clear your intentions.
Rough Surface - Nice Airport
To make the matters worse, there is a drain hole in the middle of the runway about 1/3 from the east. Its marked by a flag on the north side edge of the runway. So, If you are landing with a taildragger, try to stick close to the southern edge. Used to be a very nice flying community there but things are looking to go downside. I hope that it will re-emerge into life.
Must visit ariport
Great fascilities, very friendly staff, active unicom and resonable priced restaurant for awesome breakfast. i am frequent visitor there and many times with ultralights. Makes for a great fuel stop over for longer cross countires. If the winds are more from south, expect some weird turbulence on short final for 13 due to brush line or trees. I prefer landing long in that situation. HAPPY FLYING!
Great Airport - A good alternate if the winds are high.
This is a great airoport to visit and fuel prices are resonable for a fuel stop. In line with others, the restaurant is more of a fancy restaurant user primarily by road traffic rather then pilots ...specially the economical ones like me. A fish n; chips or bugers to menu would make a good addition for having fliers drop in.
warren feild
152s and 172s are operating from this strip.

Hello,
Would you know who landed at the airport in 163
Military Aerodrome
A point that I haven't seen on the page for Petawawa is the fact that this is a Military Aerodrome inside a restricted area, and as such, it is not open to civilian traffic. Services are available at Pembroke, but not here. As well, there is a large amount of Military helicopter traffic in the area. Traffic information is available through Petawawa Advisory.
Great GA friendly airport
Super nice facilities. Terminal building is well kept with a history of the area in pictures and other nice posters and paintings.
The restaurant/cafe is nice with a very good weekend breakfast buffet.
The staff is there to help and want to make sure you remember being there.
Overall a very nice place to visit.
Absolutely perfect
I flew in with my PA34 (Piper Seneca) from Birmingham Alabama via Toronto buttonville (CYKZ) along with 4 others on board, we stopped in to see family. And friends in the area. The runways are fantastic and very well taken care of, I've landed on paved runways that were not as good as this place. The staff and airport manager were excellent, extremely friendly and very helpful. Fuel was cheaper than anywhere else I could find in the region. I would highly recommend this little place, it's in a wonderful area and it is in perfect condition to land anything from a home build, or a light twin right up to a Kingair.. This place has no issues whatsoever.
Reminder
Picton is a PPR airport. There are numerous airport/runway closures so always check Notams and call for permission.
Owner of private airfield
The airfield is still open to landing, it is a private airfield however and not licensed. Feel free to contact me should you want permission to land. 1-705-647-7056
More Information
I'm looking for a nice spot to base my homebuilt TD out of, could you provide me with some contact information? Thanks, jjybrodeur@hotmail.com
Get some competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to travel to Kingston from Calgary: It costs $250 to fly to Toronto and then Air Canada charges $246 for a 35 min flight to Kingston because they can!
Beautiful Airport
Flew here yesterday evening, great approach for runway 26 over the lake. Just keep your eyes on the numbers and you'll be clear of the trees. Will be returning, there was no traffic when I arrived around 20:00 local.
Alban opening again ?
Oops typed in wrong box...
anyway in June 2014 I was told Alban strip may be opening again
Not an exciting town but friendly people and friendly airpor
Was recently weathered over here for two days. Cab fair into town is 30.00 each way. The Holiday Inn Express is nice but a little expensive. The Comfort Inn across the road is almost as nice and 50.00 a night cheaper. The Esso dealer at the airport is very friendly and helpful. The 100LL was reasonably priced but not great. There is a COPA discount but make sure you have your card. There was no landing fees and no tie down fees.
Great spot
Runway is in decent condition. About 5 min. after shutting down I saw a black bear cross the runway. Fish and Chips in town are a must. They will shuttle you to and from for free. Be aware there is now a $5 landing fee. Its nothing, but be aware of it.
Kars/Rideau Vallley
Best to call in on 123.4 before landing to keep clear of landing gliders. Left hand circuits. The strip is 4,000' long - 26 and 08. Quite smooth for a grass strip.
Increased fees
The Porter FBO now charges $50+tax/night for tie-down for a single-engine piston plane; no discount for fuel (unless you buy more than 400 litres / 105 US gallons).
The Trans-Capital ramp at the other (east) end of the airport charges $35/night, but doesn't sell fuel.

It's not pinin'! it's passed on! This airport is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-AIRPORT!!'
