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.
Aerodrome
Landed here in the summer of 2013. Pilots beware! Runways are gravel and not very well maintained.

Hi there from the exact point on the other side of the globe :) We're in Tyumen, USTR airport.

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.
Arrival Listings
How could AC 7517 from Montreal to Toronto not even be listed?
Proper Name

Grass Strip
I love it.
Cooking lake Airport is developing lots for up to 20 new han
In October 2013, the airport began construction of 3 new taxiways and access roads for 20 new hangar lots. The airport has been there since 1926 and just keeps getting better - its a casual, fun and friendly place to hang out with fellow flyers.
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
Guelph charters
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.
I have a good souvenir of this airport ,landed in 1998 OORT
Hearty welcome and cheap .roland hurtecant private VFR. pilot
Best Grass Strip EVER!
We easily landed our PC-12 and parked in front of the rental at the Mabel Lake Lodge we found at VRBO and mabellakelodge.com. The lake has beautiful sandy beaches, great golfing, the calmest water for skiing and amazing fishing. One last piece of virtually untouched paradise.
Literally like landing on a golf green and we can park our C
2900 feet of irrigated golf green maintained by the professionally designed (renowned course architect Les Furber ) Mabel Lake Golf Resort and Airpark. Twin Comanche, Caravans, PC-12s, Cirrus, Cessna and Piper are common aircraft landing here throughout the spring and summer.

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!
Gander hospitality
Our USAirways flight from Dublin to Philadelphia was diverted to Gander due to mechanical problems. The staff at Gander was extremely friendly and welcoming. They added a second internet connection and kept the café open. Thank you for your hospitality.
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
One beautiful airport
Best thing about Golden airport its is location - simply gorgeous! The town itself looks a bit beaten by today's economy, but still cute.
Approaches are wide open, though terrain is quite high and circuit looks pretty "interesting" on the downwind. Look for the electric station, cables and posts while on short final northbound. Nothing special, obstacles clearly marked - just don't come in too flat.
Active helicopter traffic, so stay on the radio - and these guys are professionals! Hangglider and paraglider ramp on the mountain SE of the airport - like a huge bald spot near the top - with corresponding activity. Keep an eye on them while flying towards Alberta, following the published VFR route
Friendly and clean FBO, runway and the ramp in good conditions. Pleasure to visit.
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
re: Poor food choices
you serious ? Vancouver has to be the worse airport for Duty Free.....Bourbon and Cuban cigars they have NO idea and they move at a snails pace
gimme the east coast any day
Public or Private?
Not sure if this is a public airport. Anyone have any idea?
Love the free landing
It's nice to land at an airport that wants the business for their community, CYPD is a friendly airport, cheaper fuel, no landing fees for private light aircraft as specified in their literature. However, like all airports as a port of entry make sure you know the entry procedures and when customs will serve you and the associated costs.

Where is the best fly in lake for trophy northern pike fishing?
Landing at the Airport
Some years ago I had the pleasure of landing and taking off again from the old air base. One runway was not too bad considering its age, but I believe it's probably deteriorating quickly now. I remember when the hangers were there sad to see them all gone now.
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

I think this field is closed
Closed
fun day at the airport.
Would like to know if you are going to have fun day at the airport this year.Had a very nice day .Watching planes coming in for a landing and having a change to take a close up look of all the planes.
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.
There is no belledune airport
I have lived in and around belledune N.B all my life 22years and there is not nor has there ever been a Belledune airport. Nor to my knowing is there plans at any time in the future for there to be one.
Hastings Field
Hastings Field named after gentlemen who built it. He has since passed away and his son John Hastings looks after it now though it and the 45 acres it sits on are for sale.
Gillies Bay
Nice asphalt strip. Call Ravenous Raven Cafe and they will pick up and drop off at strip.
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.
