Valpiro FBO at Val D'Or airport
Val D'Or was great experience!, Valpiro FBO staff were helpful, friendly and efficient, and we had ground power as soon as we had shut down. We had emailed them overnight and, following their response we phoned and made contact. We arrived and parked on the ramp nearest to their facility and were airborne again 58 minutes later after the refuel, coffee and loo stop! Definitely a top-tip in Northern Canada.
My Fathers Crash
My father died in a crash 6/20/1957. He was flying for Medford Air Service . the crash was in a Stearman about 3 miles from Budworm City. Any info or reports would be helpful.
Thank you

Old Bold pilots, Sid and a wonderous field of dreams, Can av
Haven't been there since Sid was the major domo. Times change.
Glad to hear it is still being used, by pilots. I recommend you disregard
the negative waves of the poster above. Yeah Sid might have been Sid,
which meant no time for fool's. But at 17, he was 'the man', to me.
A 'hail fellow well met'. Taught me what a short field 270 degree approach
should look like. And other things from the characters that haunted Sids
majical aerodrome.

Airport Manager
The Airport Manager (and Dropzone Operator) is Tom McCarthy, one of the finest and friendliest people you could meet in aviation. Buy him a coffee and he could tell you volumes about the history of the place.

Airport Identifiers
YSN is still the IATA identifier for Salmon Arm. St. Catherines is CYSN (IATA: YCM)
The strip
The guys complaining about the field must be using shopping cart wheels on their planes because its really nice and yes it has a bit of a hump but so does a camel?
Cant beet Bradford
Nice bunch of guys who fly and dont just talk about flying
General Aviation not welcome there
The National Defence ask 14$ landing fees and Promotion Saguenay ask another 16$. An additionnal 25$ fees per passenger was requested and 35$ for daytime parking. Considering that I had 3 passengers on that day, the journey costed me 140$, which is very expensive in comparison to similar airport size.

No bar or restaurant
I am presently sitting in the international departures area with a two and a half hour wait for my flight. After quite a stressful morning getting to the airport, checking in and clearing security, my wife said she would like to relax with a glass of wine. A cold beer would have been very welcome to me as well. On searching Departures however, I couldn't find a bar or even a proper restaurant --- just an array of fast food joints that I normally avoid at all costs. On enquiring in a duty free shop I was told that indeed there was nowhere to get a glass of wine other than in the airline lounges. For a major international airport this is really. Not good enough.

122.8 is local floatplane frequency and Kenora airport is 12
122.8 is local floatplane CJM9 frequency and local Kenora airport CYQK is 122.2
Seaplane base is across from hospital, not where the anchor
Kenora seaplane base is across from hospital on T-docks and not where the map indicates it is. There is 100LL and jet fuel available on River air side and 100 LL on Kenora Air side of dock. Takeoffs are outside the bay running almost East/West and no high speed taxiing in past buoy. Boats won't slow down for you or get out of the way.
Fuel Prices 100LL and Jet A
100LL is $1.199/litre; Jet A is $0.899/litre
A 70's airport
Very nice if you want to dive into the past. Apparently no developments since 40 year either in services and structure. It took 1 hour to receive luggage after landing from Vancouver. Everything is old fashioned and not at all in line with airports of lesser developed countries.
Really a bad experience
Backyard
does not look long enough from the air but there are a few planes on the ground including a big twin. flight sup says power lines are unmarked but there was a single marker visible. very nice area and close to lake simcoe and scugog, alot of traffic in the area.

Vandals
Do not leave your airplane unattended at this place. Very bad for vandalism after hours. Sad but true and the town of winterland or the rcmp don't seem to care.
Is this still in use?
I was just wondering if this small airport was still open? And who do you have to get in touch with to see if a small plane could land there
Flying a drone
Hello,
I want to fly a drone in my farm in Saint Cesaire which is close (4kms approx.) to a small airdrome and far away from the main airports.
I just want to make sure I'm not braking any law by doing that on my private land.
Thanks for your advice.

Wheather for te weekend

Probably one of the most nicely decorated airports around.
However, do they need to be spending that much money on decorating it?
There is alot of space that could be better utilized with seating. i.e. a water stream?
There is alot of artwork and the aquarium but most of it is in the departure / arrival sections, so unless you are traveling, you can't see it.
It's not like people visit the airport because it's an attraction, most just want to travel !!
I don't have a problem with this so much, in itself, but it comes at a cost to airport users.
A $20 fee airport improvement fee.
I would rather see a reduced / removed fee, and have a more "plain" airport.
I'm not a huge traveller, but have travelled to many countries and I haven't seen any that are as nice, but again,
at a cost which I'd rather not incur.
Great place to fly into
Wonderful airport, got to watch some aerobatics. The fuel tank owner was so friendly and helpful. Like the person above below I too got a free beverage and help filling my plane. People around the airport we all really friendly.
Fixed record
Merged duplicate identifiers
Trying to locate a certain biplane.
Hello there. I live in Petersfield, Mb. I have seen a blue bi-plane flying around my area. I don't have any other info to give you. I want to contact the pilot, to see if it's possible to go up in it. I see when the pilot heads south of Petersfield when done flying around here. I'm assuming he's heading back home. My brother who is a pilot and lives by St Andrews airport, doesn't know anything about it. He helps out at the airport, and would know something about it if it's from there. I am guessing the plane is at Oak Hammock air park. Do you know of this plane? Thanks.
