Am I able to charter a plane/pilot to fly two families to Quebec city from guelph??
banaster flying
wondering how much it would cost to fly a banaster in Guelph?
I AGREE TOOOOO
This place is in the middle of nowhere. Felt like I had just landed in the Ozarks. Had a much better time in NOTL. Thanks for the suggestion!
Would not recommend at all!
Moutaunview Airport
The Air Cadets do glider pilot training in the Summer starting beginning July and finish mid August. In the Spring (Apr thru start of Jun) and Fall (beginning Sep till beginning of Nov) also do glider familiarization flights for the local Air Cadet sqns.
Runway
Runway is a dirt strip 1000 feet by 50. Trees down both sides with 50 foot Hydro lines 250 feet from the north end of the runway. Strip is muddy in the rainy times.
Warren Field
Great turf strip, 31 x 13, wide abd 2000 feet long, few obstructions to the south, high and low wings operating there
a jem of an airpark
we found the 2 runways very smooth for turf. great place to visit and tie-down for awhile.its a small airport with a lot of potential to be a very busy place of interest. the flying club there r very helpful gang of flyers.all in all its a cool place to touch-down and hang out on the huge deck over looking the runways
Public or Private?
Not sure if this is a public airport. Anyone have any idea?
NOISE NUISANCE
Please stop flying over Lake Simcoe. It is as you comment below says (those living in the trailor park) utterly annoying and completely destroying the peace and solitude of the lake.
767-300 parking
There might be room to park between BB BA on III-b
good general aviation airport
lots of aircraft, good prices on fuel 100ll and mogas, mechanical services available. although there are skydivers on the field it does not seem to be a problem. consult CFS for circuits
Madawaska Valley Airpark
beautiful area
The commerative sign.
You can see a sign On the corner of Lakeshore and Hydro Road off the lake shore trail at (43 34' 42.8"N,79 33' 23.3 W).

I think this field is closed

24h fuel!
Very friendly reception, reasonable fuel prices, and self-service to boot (use your credit card at the pump). 24h fuel access means you don't need to worry about getting there before the FBO closes. Wish more airports had fuel services liket his.
Buttonville update August 2013
Buttonville is a great little airport if your coming into the Toronto area or just need to clear customs and head north.
There are two Falcon 7X's, 1 Falcon 50EX, 1 Falcon 20, 2 Falcon 10, 1 Learjet 45, 1 Citation XL, 1 Citation Mustang, and 1 Eclipse EA500 based on the field, couple of King Airs, some Cheyennes, and 200 + GA aircraft.
It's easier to get downtown Toronto from here than from Pearson, it's get a great FBO, a restaurant, flight lounge, passenger lounge, aviation store, very friendly and helpful staff.
Due to ongoing sample tests for future construction, it appears the airport will still be open for another couple of years - so 2015.

Wonderful GA airport. Cooperative personnel easy access to fuel.

Good service received
On Monday July 19th myself and a friend flew into Port Elgin airport. The plan was to go to lunch at Lord Elgin Fish and Chip Restaurant.
The gentleman on duty at the airfield, I believe his name was Bill , was kind enough to drop us at the restaurant on his way home for lunch, and then
pick us up on his return to work.
I needed fuel so I started up my plane and taxied over to the fuel pump. All gassed up now, and I was faced with a dead battery.
No worries . Bill initially tried to hand prop the plane , when that was unsuccessful he tried to charge the dead battery from the one in his truck. Unfortunately that didn’t work either , so he then boosted me with the truck. The engine roared to life and off we went.
Just wanted to thank him again for going above and beyond the call . Thanks Bill !!

Field permanently closed.
Service at Porter FBO. Wow.
Date of trip: 2013-06-15. Outstanding service. They'll drive you from the FBO to the ferry, and there is an FBO phone so you can call them to come pick you up. It's about 5 minute walk west, then south, if you choose to forego the drive. Then you can take the Porter shuttle bus to the area of the Royal York,a nd catch the subway (or a taxi) from there.
Fuel (100LL) was $2.00/litre plus 13% HST. Ouch.
Parking on the Porter ramp was n/c for less than an hour, or $25 for a day, or $35 for overnight (all plus 13% HST). I arrives at 11am Saturday, and did not leave until 8pm Sunday, they charged me for one overnight. For that length of time, that's less expensive than parking my car at a downtown Toronto hotel.
Landing fees at CYTZ are currently $11 (probably plus tax - have not received that in the mail as yet).
Change the identifier to CYLS
I use the airport all the time for our private jet. When every inch counts.... What happened to the extra foot...If we find it can we still use it?...LOL!
re: No. 4 Gunnery School
No remaining buildings but there are historical markers etc, on the grounds
Birthday Surprise
This is going to be a very odd request, but I won't have an answer unless I ask. :)
Is it possible for a small plane to fly over a 1 acre property in Morriston just south of the 401, to drop small bags of candy for a child's birthday party? How much would it be?
Obviously the kids would be protected from any falling missiles once a specific time is arranged.
Thank you.

re: Top speed run
certainly not at guelph
re: Prom Banaster

are there scheduled commercial flights that fly between local towns - i.e. Carp-Iroquois airport?

Dunnville Airport
Well its official. The airport is to stop flight ops as of the end of May this year. Once again a pice of history lost. I have been there many times. I remember standing in hanger 4 that was empty and the roof leaking old equipment rusting in the back. And hearing the harvard fly over thinking this is a shame. Once those towers go up its gone forever. The Museum hopes to run still but i can't see it drawing a crowd with out aircraft too tie it all together. Anyone that has been there should show up for the open house in May it will be the last time we hear the roar of a harvard Departing Dunnville. PLease show you support and and give the field one last Buzz.
Hi.
Would it be possible if i used the run way to test drive a car? My name is andrew please respond to me at andrew_simoes88@hotmail.com
Top speed run
I'd like to take my bike to a safe location to max out the speed, I figured a paved landing strip would be perfect. Any idea where I could go do this???
re: Prom Banaster
Dude your trying way!!! to hard. Just ask her yourself, save that for asking a girl to marry you.
Prom Banaster
I was wondering if there was any way someone could fly a banaster that would be asking a girl to prom? Please e mail me at guelph121@hotmail.com
Wind Turbines
The Niagara Skydive Centre Inc. receive an "Notice Of Termination" for the lease on the hanger effective March 31, 2013. My understanding is the Main runway will be closed June or July for good. There are 6 wind turbines slated for the property.
Airport Overall
Recently introduced runway is under "restricted" use. Airport manager tries to get everyone to use an unpublished and unsafe circuit procedure when using a certain runway for unforeseen noise complaints (27 I think). Self serve fuel does no take debit, only Credit Cards. The flight school installed a new simulator which takes up all the leisure space inside the FBO. The restaurant closed recently and no one really comes in to hang out on the weekends anymore. Hangar prices went up recently and are costly. Airport is slowly improving with the construction however it feels like they have recently been removing the community aspect of flying in Burlington which is a shame for what the airport was many years ago.
First grass landing
This was the airport I did my first landing on grass at. However it was on a PPL flight test!
Good airport
The Waterloo flight school uses this as a standard cross country route. Not very busy and very fun approach for 14 over Lake Huron! Windsheer can get nasty at times.
re: Wind Turbines
Samsung is currently storing windmills on the shorter runway and it is closed by NOTAM. There is security on the property that will confront you. As far as I know the skydiving company is fighting the windmills and I heard plans recently of a flight school for Indian students looking at CDU9.
Guelph charters
🔗 Tue, 19 Nov 2013
— Anonymous Flyer at Guelph Airport, Canada
To the best of my knowledge there are no charter operations out of Guelph which no longer has an active flying school although Brampton makes some use of it with a Cessna 152.
It might be possible to arrange a flight using a twin from Kitchener to pick up the parties in Guelph.
Currently the restaurant is closed, a lease is on offer, the building is closed, the Unicom is not manned, NORDO planes use whichever runway suits their purpose. There is an outside pay phone.
