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.

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.

Hamilton
My wife and I flew into Hamilton airport about five years ago or so with Globespan from Newcastle England.It was really handy for getting to Toronto and meant we could avoid all the hassle of Pearson.Sadly Globespan went bust not long after and that was the end for Hamilton and flights from U.K. I think.We really loved our stay in Canada...wonderful friendly people and an awesome country.
Airport closed - full time landfill site
This fill activity, and others undertaken locally by the same operators under similar circumstances, has been -by several nautical miles!- the largest single provocation and instigator of changes to the way TC oversees the construction or expansion of aerodromes in Canada..so I had to go see.
There are a couple of old airplanes onsite along with the remaining threads of a windsock blowing in the wind.
The fuel pumps are still there, but not functional and in terrible disrepair. The pilot lounge no longer exists.
Airport is listed in CFS as ARCAL-X, but assuming it has not worked in years since almost every single runway marker light is smashed and runway looks very unused and unmaintained - other runways (06/24) removed and filled in.
Access to property is limited to large construction vehicles only which I understand from a driver/hardhat I spoke to amounts to approximately 400 a day....every day...rain or shine.
Unfortunately it looks like an ambitious and promising airport expansion may be the 'bait and switch' some people have predicted.
Service
Flew in here the other day. Great little facility, but most importantly, fantastic service with a smile. Robby is a gem. I shall return !
nice
really awesome
Petawawa NDB (YWA) Heard Back on the Air Again!
Thanks @prattsoplenty for information. I’ve been monitoring 516 kHz several times each evening before midnight in hopes of hearing “YWA” again I’m happy to report that on March 2, 2014 at 9:40 PM EST I heard “YWA” on the air for the first time in about two months of silence! I monitor “YWA” for medium frequency radio wave propagation study. Thanks again 73, George N2CG
Re: Petawawa NDB (YWA) Not Heard Since beginning of 2014
There are no current NOTAMs (Notice To AirMen) listing the NDB off the air but there was one in January. CYWA PETAWAWA YWA- NDB 516 U/S 1401101604 TIL 1401312359. Looks like it dropped off the air on January 10th and was scheduled to be fixed by the end of the month.
Petawawa NDB (YWA) Not Heard Since beginning of 2014
Beginning in the early Fall to early Spring every year about and hour after sunset in Northern New Jersey I hear Petawawa NDB "YWA" on 516 kHz almost every evening dependng of propagation conditions. About the first week of January 2014 was the last time I've heard YWA. Is it off the air for maintenance or is it off the air for good. I sent and email to Petawawa Airport a few weeks ago but so far have not received any reply. If anyone knows what happened to YWA please post your reply here. Thanks & 73 George N2CG
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Bet you are still flying high at 70!
And doubtless still saying that if you had known you'd last this long, you would have taken better care of yourself.
With happy memories of a younger version of Mur,

Prospect Lake Airport - Construction 1986.
The airport was born from the need to spray the forest to control Bud Worm infestation. Due to safety requirements, the design had to accommodate a DC3 aircraft. In 1986 the Ministry of Natural Resources and Boise Cascade Canada worked together to accommodate construction. A float-plane dock, 80-person camp, and supporting infrastructure was constructed at the same time. The Prospect Lake Airport is accessible by road. The main roadway route in 1986 was to turn west at the turnoff near Ear Falls, Ontario. The area is very beautiful and accommodates fishing and the opportunity to see lots of wildlife. It was my favourite project and I remember when doing one of the initial surveys, my watch froze taking a Star Shot, to determine the Azimuth of the centreline of the Airstrip.
Maple Airport CA-0010
An old Aircraft Journey Log I have for Piper Cherokee C-FYSZ says that D Gould landed at Maple on April 25, 2001 at 12:14hrs. It must have been on a dirt strip. The airplane seems to have been based there for quite some time. Does anyone remember what the previous ICAO designator for Maple was? It was probably CN... something.

Airport is beautiful - Restaurant not great
The airport is very nice, and has 24hr cardlock that takes interac. (most in area are just visa)
Could use a couple more lights on apron after dark.
Restaurant is not really a restaurant. Will not find any burgers or steaks on this dinner menu...just a lot of overpriced Bistro type food. (they have a chef...when all you really need a cook...or a BBQ)
If you are looking for fancy-shmancy downtown Bistro food (in the middle of nowhere)...it is a very nice place...if you are looking for a burger, or fish and chips...do not stop here.

Porter airlines
I think it would be in the best interest to have porter fly into Kingston. I have many corporate colleges that are wondering why they cannot fly into kingston from Toronto, Montreal and as far as that goes from down east as well. I think it is about time this should be entertained.
Thanks
