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.
Bluestar
Fishing
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

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.
re: Back up in 2012
Yes it's open again. Aug 2013. The grass is mowed and the runway markers are layed out. I flew from there 2 weeks ago.
re: Sky Writing
Hello mysterious one does the word GISHWHES mean anything to you
Sky Writing
Very strange request....
Is there any chance that a pilot could some quick sky writing for me? Cost?
Landing fees for small private general aviation aircraft
If you own a Cessna, Piper, Beach or ultralight aircraft be prepared to pay landing fees, stay away and spend your money at a community that welcomes your flying business .
I bought gas and later got a landing fee charge sent to me by mail.
Free and friendly
This is a very nice, clean and friendly airport with no landing fees for private aircraft. I've landed here a few times for cheap fuel. Additionally it is a great starting place to fly around one of the most beautiful landscape areas in Canada.
It's the summer of 2013 and the flying is great, people in Nova Scotia are very friendly,courteous and so easy going.
Great gateway for Jasper & Prince George
Have stopped here several times. Usually deserted, but once met the friendly guy who does charter flights over Jasper and Mt. Robson. Nice place for a stretch and rest coming or going between Rockies and prairies.

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 !!

Hi,
We are tried to calling and it said the phone number was disconnected. Can you please provide us with the correct phone number? We are interested in landing at the airport when we fly out to Shuswap.
Thank you for your help,
Megan and Steve
Crop dusters
Any regulations for crop dusters? One is flying so low over our house and trees. We have a licensed wildlife rehab and bird sanctuary, and our birds are actually getting hurt trying to avoid his regular low flyovers. Number C-GFTS.
