Short Sighted Municipality - Closing this airport in 2015
The excellent airport is slated for closure 30 September 2015. The municipal council has decided without consultation with the public to close the airport under pressure of the Provincial Government to sell the land to a nearby industry for 'possible' expansion. The province would not provide any money for the move and the local municipal council forced the facilities to consider consolidation at the nearby Greenwood Airforce Base. During the long draw-out process of deciding to close the airport, the uncertainty of the future, closed the flight training school and one repair facility. The future of aviation in the Annapolis Valley is in doubt and an excellent airport will have been destroyed
Fond memories
I flew to this airport weekly in 09/10. Many fond memories of the QK staff.

It says in the Info sheet that there is no lights. WRONG! This airport has full automatic runway lights and they are functioning

Our flight to Grosse le
Our two father-and-son pilots from Montmagny Airport were excellent - just felt like driving in a car. I just knew they could do this trip blindfolded! Not only did we get 'the tour' but they also located several flocks of Snow Geese for me. Great take-off and soft landing. Thanks to both of you.

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.
Staying overnight
The museum is a good one to see and The best Western-Wayside Inn is a very nice accomidating place to stay
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.

Shell 13 airport
Hello. This airport does not currently nor did it ever exist - The Shell Aerodrome on this site is designated CAL4 , named Ft. McKay/Albian Aerodrome and is shown accurately below and slightly to the right As Ft. MacKay / Albian Aerodrome. Proper spelling is McKay.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Bags
Excellent airport shopping and duty-free store.
Nice place
Next to wildlife station and fuel available. Middle of the pond is very shallow
Middle of nowhere
No services what so ever and runway is full of holes. Should be condemmed!
Dangerous
Tried landing there on a Sunday and was 800 feet off the ground when I noticed drag racing.
Well maintained
Great restaurant, very busy airport. NOT!!
Runways
While out on the island there in June 2014, we drove to the site and the runways looked unusable.....
Nice Airport
I visited Sept. 16, 2014 for the first time. Nice terminal building with soft drinks and cookies available. Congratulations to Justine on her first solo.
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.
Old & New
Visited with my Dad (Bill Lawson) when about 9 yrs old. He was "District inspector, Western Airways". Went there again recently when my kids gave me a hangliding flight for Birthday present ... Fantastic!! Short flight time though ... got to do it again.
My 3-yr-old Grandson would say for couple months after: "CandaGrampa on kite in sky!"
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
re: Baie-Johan-Beetz is now in Quebec :)
Reply to @RaymondR: Doesn't appear in the Water Aerodrome Supplement either.
Baie-Johan-Beetz is now in Quebec :)
This aerodrome is not currently listed in the CFS
Please correct the mistake
It is located in Quebec, not Nova Scotia
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.
Runway Condition
As of 22 Jul 2014, runway partly overgrown with grass but appears to still be in fair condition, a deep unmarked ditch has been plowed across each end of the runway. Runway does not appear to have any maintenance, possible helo use only. Shown as abandoned on VNC.
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.
Simple and friendly
Arrived here on a Sunday afternoon. Nobody was a round from the airport but a local resident came by to check us out. He gave us a ride into town to get lunch. Gas is self serve and on the honour system. Call ahead and they will tell you where the key is. You then run your own Visa transaction and write it into a book.
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.
New FBO
There's a new FBO at the end of Juliet threshold 24R called H-18 i think. They only serve Jet-A, but they offer the best service on the field. Pascan is crowded with their own airplanes and they rarely have hangar space available. h18 saved me this winter, they gave me an amazing price, even though I was in a 172 and couldn't buy fuel from them. Definitely a place to check out. And they are only 15 minutes driving from downtown!
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.
Airport user for 20 years
This is the one of the best general aviation airport in Nova Scotia. Gas, flight training, mechanics it has it all.

I am about to land here and have lunch. Can someone pick me up.
Tiedowns
This place sucks for tie downs! Had to chip away at concrete to free up old concreted over tie downs. Not a friendly transient airport, long was from town and lodging. Only one taxi.
Customs
Good for Northbound customs. Call first
Villeneuve Airport
No preparation was made to make this Edmonton's alternative GA airport before closure of Edmonton's City Centre Airport (Blatchford Field). Airport services are terrible. There are no vehicle rental kiosks and no restaurants. The airport is too far from the city. And the airport has no web page!! How the heck does this airport attract any visitors with no web page? This is a terrible airport.
Namao CAFB
Alberta (Edmonton in particular) is hell bent on removing itself from the aviation community. The Calgary Airport Authority (a privately owned operator) is the only corporation making any real effort to develop aviation interests in Alberta.
Great Airport - A good alternate if the winds are high.

— @Pilotharry at Edenvale Aerodrome, Canada
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.
