Worth the trip for the Fish & Chips
Make sure you check their website about fuel availability as it isn't constant.
There is a $5 landing fee, if the attendant is there you pay him, otherwise it's on the honour system. They're trying to raise funds to redo the runway and they are currently at 150K / 990K, so don't be a jerk, and make sure you pay even if there is no one collecting.
Call Herberts and they'll pick you up and drop you off, though the walk isn't too bad ~1.5Km.
It's a very popular fly in spot so you can expect a fair bit of traffic. Communicate on the radio and keep an eye out!
You can also get fuel at Manitoulin East or Parry Sound, which are a bit cheaper.
Good spot!
Great fuel stop. 100LL was $1.99/L tax included.
Staff was friendly and helpful!

not bad not good
Great little airport. Fantastic buttertarts!
Known for their legendary buttertarts, be sure to add this to your list for the 100$ hamburger.
Occasional wildlife, so keep an eye out, and it's a popular training spot.
Beautiful Scenery and Nice Airport
Visited mid May, a bit of traffic. Unicom won't answer but other local pilot will help if on frequency. Airport staff is very friendly and free wifi inside for pilots use! Very good place.
Nice Airport
Very nice airport, went mid May. Not a lot of traffic and friendly Unicom-
DELETE THIS. Duplicate to CYHS (CPN4) Hanover/Saugeen Munici
This is a dupe and should be deleted.
Horrible lines
They know how many flights are coming in, why can't they staff customs properly? Had to line up upstairs before making it downstairs for a hall of more line ups. Over an hour in line. Ridiculous. I'll fly though Buffalo though I like in Toronto.
Eyes open when using.
Runway is gravel. As of May/2016 runway is in very good condition with some loose crushed rock/gravel on surface. Caution on shoulders/edges as are much softer than main operating surface of r/w. Runway is maintained by MB government Dept of Conservation for use as required as SEAT reload base. Before use, is recommended contact with Lac du Bonnet Fire Centre to obtain any required permission for access and for any know runway conditions. Use caution on t/o and landing as runway is crossed by road serving small quarry a cpl hundred metres north of runway edge. Also has been known to be used by ATVs and trail bikes. Very suitable for most a/c in size up to PA31 or Cessna 400 series or even Twin Otter....depends how much flying gravel you're prepared to risk. Lots of parking area in SE corner.Main issue to using runway would be any squirrelly cross-wind caused by relatively narrow clear-way in which r/w is situated....other than that , enjoy your flight.

Strong but sudden deep fading
Loud and clear but with sudden deep fading on 25 May 2016. Using AM MW portion ( tunes below 535khz) of a Kenwood 9r-590 and 80m dipole.
YWA is not too far for nighttime ground wave from my location at FN04fc (Newmarket, ontario)

Everything seemed clean and well maintained. No one seemed to mind that I was an Ultralight. Beautiful scenery all around.
STOLport
This is a unique little strip - short with a healthy incline starting at 1/2 field. Not for beginners or the faint of heart!
It is in the local practice area and the regional flight schools bring their commercial students here for STOL practice before sending them out west or overseas .
Looks very cool, and a little scary.
Adequate at best
This has not been much of an airport since the early 90s. No takeoffs after 1030 pm. (in anything!) Fuel extremely expensive. Poor TBOs.
This airport has squandered every opportunity it has ever been provided (Peterborough is now reaping those rewards)
(no subject)
The Town of Thessalon has recently put this airstrip up for sale. So future of the strip is unknown.
meetings
are they still the second friday of the month?
Nice Airport
Seems to be very well maintained.
A very nice little restaurant with good prices.
Nice place!
Nice field and great people! There is an RAA bbq there in early June this year.
Rip Off!
Everything from the parking to the food/drink is overpriced!
It was never that great, but has GONE DOWNHILL!
The last time I landed here was about 5 years ago and thought despite the negative reviews I would drop in recently. The recent reviews were accurate. Not certain who would buy it, but I won't be returning. St. Catharines airport is the best in the area with lots to do and good facilities! I wonder what happened on that plane crash that occurred there last year. Hushed up!
Beautiful Scenery
Landed here the other day, but took off fairly quickly. I wish I could have gotten out because it looks beautiful! Runway was clear and big, there was quite a few deer around the runway, we noticed once we landed. Not busy, at least when I had arrived!
Service
The staff is great but building is old
(no subject)
My family lived there from early 1950 until I was old enough to go to school. My father was a mechanic . It was a very interesting place. I remember when the garage burned down and the camp parties that were held in the common rooms. It was at the end of a very muddy road well into the 1980's It was shut down in the early 1970's. When we travelled in and out you had to check in on the open wire telephone system. When we lived there, there were only a couple of homes and a couple of rough dwellings and the majority of the staff were single men.
NOTAM.
My Trans Can approval requires that I contact the sick kids heliport manager to post a NOTAM.
How can I contact this person?
burraaaahhhhh
awesome
Liard River Air Strip Condition
Last time I landed at the Liard River strip was in May of 1984. Lots of frost heave but quiet. Now I am having a hard time trying to figure out if it still exists. Not interested in big paved places.
Great Service
Recently had a flight booked to Edmonton via Kingston, Toronto, Calgary and finally Edmonton. Upon check in, the staff voluntarily did a search for options and were successful in booking us on a more direct flight to Edmonton. As a result we arrived Edmonton 2 hours earlier. The staff at this small airport is friendly and accommodating. You can't beat the service at small airports! Thank you and thanks to Big Al from the flying club!

Murray Kot
What I want to say is that my father Owen Phillipps (Sabre Air) is now 100 and 5 months and sends Murray his very best wishes and tells me that he is one of the best.
No Longer open to public
I Called and spoke with a very nice lady while looking for hangar space and she advised me they were allowing those who were there already to stay, but no longer accepting inbound flights as they want to keep private. FYI
FIELD USAGE ?
Greeting to who will have knowledge of this field, is it open to Ultralight storage and use age, waiting for my CFS to arrive and check it for contact info.
Great Runway
Great efficient airport, helpful Unicom and not a lot of traffic.
On airport restaurant Tilly's Cafe and Bakery well worth the
Tilley's Cafe and Bakery located in the terminal is a great spot to eat breakfast or lunch.
Just google it and you will find all the details.
Old runways
Just spotted it while flying over this past week . Good to know in case of emergency landing is necessary
Is the Airstrip open?
Please advise if Airfield is open
location
Where is it? Does not show up on google map.
Marked as closed
Not in current CFS; runway appears disused in sat view.
Friendly, great fuel price and a courtesy car!
Great airport to stop at, the super friendly fuel system owner gave me a beverage and helped me fuel my airplane; the courtesy car was a great thing to have use of too.
(no subject)
As of the fall of 2015. We lost the owner, Gord Farrow. The field is unknown at this time having to do with maintenance. .
re: IPhone app
OurAirports does not produce any iPhone or Android apps — perhaps you were looking at an app that uses the open data that we publish.
IPhone app
I downloaded your approach CA iPhone app and it doesn't work
Career Contact
Hello, is there someone I can contact regarding a possible career opportunity within the airfield?
CYPQ PIREP
Restaurant onsite is very good. More than decent coffee, a yummy home-made soup, good sandwiches.
DO NOT BUY GAS HERE - it was $1.77+HST ($2.02) from teh ESSO truck. In contrast, the member price at Rockcliffe is $1.65 (and CYRP and CYSH are similar in price to CYRO).
Closed
Seems closed now though there are still some (shells of?) planes by the parking lot.
Christiansen Field
Great aerodrome 1800 ft Not for every airplane
New runway
Just expanded. Now has a 7000x100 runway with full instrument approach capabilities. Brand new FBO operated by Daniel Cleary.

the harbour air icon on the map looks to be in someone's front yard!
Heliports look right though.
