Sea plane base!
I didn't know if I'd find this one in here but I did! My one and only sea plane ride. I swear the pilot had been sipping some whiskey when he came to pick us up, but he did take us for spectacular plane ride along the coast.

No complaints
I stopped here briefly during a training flight and found the terminal staff were fine. There is also wifi. Don't get stuck in the men's washroom! The fly in breakfast is now every third Sunday per the Brockville Flying Club website.
Great Lunch available!
My spouse,son and I flew to Arnprior from CYSH. The original plan was to walk over to Tim Horton's( About a 2K walk) for lunch. We decided to stay and have the home made soup and a hotdog at the Airport. The Soup was excellent and my son devoured the hotdog.

Re: Airport facilities
Great place to do flight training. Lot's of room and not overly busy. Great little pizza/sub/coffee shop with tables inside and a nice deck with umbrellas outside. They do breakfast on weekends. Airport staff are helpful and terminal is nice. Could use a few pictures on the walls though.

Fort Erie Airport
This airport is no longer in service. The airfield was apart of the fleet aircraft company. When they closed down at the end of world war two the field was no longer maintained. The runway is currently in rough condition but could be used for an emergency landing for an aircraft no larger than a king air 350. The runway is 10-28. On the 28 end it has FLEET as the runway heading number.

Wind Turbines
Are wind turbines really planned for the runway area? That is what the Samsung project map says -- see "freewco dot blogspot dot ca" for information.
I am having trouble with this one. Is this correct?
re: Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 20
You should know that under US and probably Canadian law, a pilot who agreed to fly you is taking a big risk unless they could prove that they would have made the flight without you. Offering to fly somebody somewhere for "some $$$ .. or whathaveyou" would be seen as "holding out" as a commercial operator.
Looking for a ride!!!!! Seattle Nationals August 3rd, 2012
Last Minute Idea; Live five mins from Glenora ..... Looking for a flight/ride to Seattle to see the Nationals this weekend! Anyone interested or do you know anyone that might be interested in flying us there and back? We(my hubbie and I) are looking for a ride and are willing to put some $$ towards the flight or "whathaveyou". Leave Thursday late afternoon, return Friday evening or Friday morning and return either Friday evening or Saturday morning. Pls email carriebell@shaw.ca
Not maintained
According to Tornados Resort, who owns the airport, it is not maintained.
love it.
It is an Edmonton city landmark and one of the earliest airports of its time. wop may was a a war hero and a great founder to this airport. he opened up the gateway to the north and delivered life saving vaccines. truly sad to be losing this history from my city due to mayor mandel. Sara
Guelp airport
Fuel is available with a card.
Restaurant is open.
re: 767-300
Sure, it could land and take-off from the 7002 feet of runway. It might be restricted to less than maximum take-off weight depending on the load and temperature. As for parking, according to the Canadian Flight Supplement (CFS), the only apron it would be allowed on is number 7 (north-west corner of the airport; not shown in the satellite shot) as all other aprons are restricted to aircraft with wingspans 118 feet or less. Apron 7 is restricted to aircraft with wingspans 170 feet or less.
767-300
Can a Boeing 767-300 land/to at CYKF and where would it park
Location
The Cudworth airport is actually about 1/2 a mile to the NorthEast of where the location is indicated on the map. The main runway is 26-08, which is now mostly gravel from disintegrated asphalt, and nice grassy shoulders. The grass, either side of the gravel, is suitable for landing light aircraft. The taxiway, leading north from the centre of 26-08 can and is often used for landing subject to prevailing winds. 35-17 are the normal calls for landing on the taxiway. The Saskatoon Soaring Club operates out of this airport, as of 2012, and owns the large hangar off of the taxiway, North end of airport. Unicom is 123.2
Stan works on all kinds of single and twin engine planes WWI
nice grass field picturesque surroundings.
re: Why is Toronto International Airport not customer frien
oh, you are so wrong!!!!!! First though, my question would be why do you travel with so much luggage that you cannot simply wheel it around for yourself?
Yesterday I was meeting a 13 year old who was on a five hour layover from Barcelona to Edmonton. I asked an airport employee if he could provide me with some information about where she would be so that I could meet her. He asked me to write a note for her, then he found her when the plane arrived, ensured that everything was well with her and later on purchased us drinks at Tim Horton's. I was friendly, not angry; my niece was polite; the employee was phenomenal. My niece had heard scare stories about Toronto (Edmonton apparently bashes Toronto too), but this simple act of 'niceness' gave her a wonderful introduction to our (my!) city. Maybe change your outlook and you will find more pleasant circumstances.
Why is Toronto International Airport not customer friendly
It is always a pain to fly back into Toronto Airport despite the fact that it is an image builder for the city and country for so many visitors. First it is an expensive airport so the fees you pay are already one of the highest in the world. Second it is usually miles to walk from the plane up escalators, down escalators in a bland corridors and vast rooms. then you come to the immigration where the clueless personel trying to make orderly lines make you walk much further than necessary as necessary in a snake rather than individual lines. Then the insult of arriving after tiring journey and being asked to faddle about and pay $2 for a luggage cart. This last item is one of my tests for a civilised country. Most airports that I have visited mainly Europe offer free carts. Clearly Toronto airport is greedily money oriented rather than making customers happy. This really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I am ashamed of Toronto airport because of its snivelling attitude. Try looking at airport users as humans you want to impress. It may be the most improved airport in Canada but it is still bottom of the pile.

Fuel price in July 2012 is $1.74
re: Poor Dorval
Going back to Mirabel sounds like it would make a bad problem worse.
Flying Club
Is there a flying club at this airport?
Poor Dorval
Reopen Mirabel and shut down Dorval for good.
Very scenic and great runway surface
beautiful approach over the water, there is a maintenance facility but the airport is usually pretty empty.
mostly floatplanes and taildraggers on the field, there is limited good parking for tricycle geared planes the dirt surfaces look like they go to mud in the rain.
Runway info
Can you tell me the length of the runway?
Good airport
Ostergard's is a well-maintained private strip, made available to the general flying public out of courtesy. Being part of that public, I can only appreciate that - as there are few non-restricted airfields around Calgary, and Ostergard's airport is located in such a beautiful corner! Right between the canyons and the wind farms, both panoramas are just awesome...
Runway is in a very good shape, approaches are clear, and the airport is reasonably easy to find - though I believe that one must expect significant crosswind many of the times. I liked how the northbound runway drops right after the edge, and I enjoyed taking off southbound - towards the wind farms.
Location itself is definitely not a place to goof around - one could clearly see that people live and work there. But I'm glad I visited Ostergard's and hope to be back at some point.

Anybody flying up this week?

re: Aircraft times/arrivals/departures
What kind of listings are you looking for, and in what order?
The Palmerston Airport
What a great strip. Smooth and well maintained. Friendly folks there. Truckstop right next door. 100LL available.
helicopter ride
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are helicopter rides from downsview. my son is having a stag and we would like to get about 5 guys for a helicpoter ride. If anyone knows please contact me @vbalenzano@rogers.com The stag is on July 14th ,2012. No alchol involved.
Dorval Customs Cattle Line
Going through Customs at Dorval - after you've walked through the maze to get in line - is so ridiculous that we no longer fly into Dorval. We would rather fly to an airport across the border and drive through customs. Much more relaxing and car rentals are much, much more reasonable than at the Dorval airport.
Nice airport!
I've been to Bishell's for a fly-in and loved everything about it. Interesting short final southbound - passing just by the tree line, touching down on a hill top and then rolling lower and lower... Easy to find, good approaches, no significant obstacles around, the runway is kept neat and clean, airport facilities are in order, people around are simply great - awesome! Loved to be there and would be happy to visit this place again.
Aircraft times/arrivals/departures
the listings on this site are a disgraceful mess - haphazard. slipshod listings in a semi-chaotic order
Fuel: 100LL and Jet A available at the large hangar. !00L
AWOS at 250-567-4494 or 122.55

Great service at the last breakfast! I'll come again for sure!!
Come and visit
Howard is fantastic to deal with, come and see what is believed to be the largest private collection of Rolls Royce's in North America.
Corman Air Park
Corman Air Park is a small privately owned and operated aerodrome near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is open to the general public and is suitable for light aircraft of up to about 6 seats (2600 ft. runway).
Pilots are encouraged to fly here and the general public to fly in, drive in, cycle in, walk in...... are all encouraged to come out and find out what REAL aviation is all about.
Every year the Air Park is host to It's annual Fly N' Fair. It is really a "50 year past" event and is very reminiscent of what a real country fair was back then. It's a lot of very relaxing fun for everyone that attends.
It runs every year from June 30 to July 1 with a free and very spectacular fireworks display at dusk on June 30.
There is no admission charge but the Canadian Air Cadets are in charge of parking and they charge $5/car.
See the website at Google cormanairpark for more information.

airplane rides for children
Hi,
I attended an event with a non profit last year that offered an opportunity for children to have a short ride in a plane (for children who may not otherwise have this experience). Is that event happening again this year? If so, I'm wondering if I could talk to someone about this and how I can get my organization involved.
Thanks!
