Pilot lounge and courtesy car
Great little pilot lounge and old cop car available.
Courtesy car
There is an old Lincoln Town car available here.
woo hoo
The day I landed here I got a great workout with a 25 mph direct cross wind. So windy when I needed to leave, I decided to use a farmers field not the airstrip. Small crop duster strip. Decent pilot lounge.
Waste
Great example of our bloated wasteful government. Over staffed by government workers for "TWO" airline passengers? Really!? Small wonder we're broke.
Nice little strip
Courtesy car, food nearby. Remote and peaceful.
traffic patterns
When Griffiss was an active military base, the traffic pattern was kept to the north side of the runway: Left traffic for r/w 15 and right traffic for r/w 33. This kept the low flying aircraft away from the Rome Hospital andresidential areas of the town. Nowadays, it seems there is no traffic pattern of any kind with C-5s and C-17s roaring over the town and hospital at what appears to be lower than normal altitudes. What's going on? Are the old traffic patterns no longer published?

Nice try, but no SQL injection here.

Nice little airport.
Stopped for fuel, before tank was topped off the fuel person had gotten me a car and a reservation at the Pioneer motel in town.
Food
Great restaurant!
Not as scary as you might think.
Great place to rent a car (or borrow) to drive to Fisherman's Wharf.

custom checking bags on yourr way back from colombia
I go to colombia every month and I feel so bad when I came back because they have no respet for the travelers one thing is them doing they job as a custom officer and another thing they taking everything out bag put it all over the table them when they are done they tell you put it back in like if you work at the airport after giving me the face like if you dont do it I put you in jail. I think that no atraveler should be treat by a custom oficer unless is doing something wrong.
Vancouver wa
Cool
Free Parking.
Ideal Place for Corporate Overnights into Asia or US
It is only 20 NM from Honolulu International but
Honolulu is so busy there is little parking space and very
expensive - $1,000 / night for large jets.
Here you have competitive fuel rates, free parking and
a friendly FBO.
Ask for Fred Turshman.......tell him the other Fred sent you
Nice airport
I took (and passed) my Checkride here.
Checkride stop
landed here on my checkride
re: Your marker is off.
You should notify the FAA then, because this site has it the same place the FAA puts it - 41.2667N, 80.76645W
Your marker is off.
It needs to be moved about 2 inches to the right in this image.
E-8 Tank Battery
The food is not up to par with E-5 battery. E-8 needs more things to do for the kids and not much shopping in the area
Twr frequency change
Tower freq is now 127.075 (not 120.875)
Excellent Place to Go
One of my all-time favorite airports, and often the first place my wife wants to go. Friendly people, including the guy who sells biplane rides and has a mini museum in his hangar; plus the folks who do the sky-diving. A wide variety of planes fly in here, so there are usually some interesting birds to look at. Also feathered type birds at the great park and pond across the street from the airport. The city bus stops there if you'd like a ride into Pismo Beach where there are lots of tourist attractions. But a couple of blocks stroll in either direction on that street will take you to restaurants and other interesting things to see & do. As you can tell, there are big sand dunes next to the airport. Vehicles are allowed on the beach, yet there are plenty of quiet places for sand and surf. One word of caution: watch out for fog and low clouds that can come in fairly quickly, but if you stay aware there's generally plenty of time to get airborne before weather changes.
Great Airport
Good fuel prices, walk to Santa Ynez, and if you want to wait there's a number to call for a free ride to the Chumash native casino (big white building complex at an angle off the West end of the runway).
Who now owns this facility
Please inform me of who now owns this facility and who the contacts are for major decisions. In the past Hoyt Bangs/Jason Warren/Lou Beemer as well as the pilots association made decisions. With Mr. Beemer now deceased who is the Owner/director.CEO?

Me again, I noticed the quarry while looking for Hilltop... maybe you'd want to leave the entry to let people know it's not a real airport... it's mentioned on quite a few web sites.

Reply to @ptomblin:
I'm notifying Google to see if they'll take it off Maps... i'd love to know how this came to pseudo-existence but I suspect I never will :P
re: Data problem
I'm going to close this unless somebody objects.

Is anybody cares this is a quarry, seems to have been one since 1995... very bumpy for landing.
Logan Fees and Fuel Prices.
Out of curiosity just checked on skyvector. The fuel prices are also extremely hefty in Logan and in Bedford/Hanscom. On average Massport is charging USD 2.50 - 3.00 more than the surrounding fields. Maybe the FAA need to be informed about that and on top of this all Massport run airports should be boycotted by GA and business aviation. Beverly, Lawrence, Norwood, Marshfield are still very good alternatives and with a little coordination with their local FBO's transportation to downtown is not a problem.
Original Name
This airstrip was originally named George Campert Memorial Airport in honor of the builder's brother who died when his USAF bomber crashed in Holland (I believe it was Holland) back in WWII. It's a shame the new owner had to change the name.
Charlottesville Airport
This is a nice airport for the Jet Set. Landmark Aviation has
friendly service people.....
However, the security issues make it not a really good place
for making friends, learning to fly, and the way things used
to be in aviation.
Other airports around are somewhat better for these purposes
such as Orange, Gordonsville, Eagles Nest (Waynesboro)
KDPA - DuPage, West Chicago
Excellent airfield and controllers.
re: IATA and ICAO Codes
Reply to @ptomblin: You are, of course, quite correct. My balls up!
re: IATA and ICAO Codes
Reply to @trasher: No, PAPN is the ICAO code for Pilot Point Airport, not Pilot Station.
IATA and ICAO Codes
Pilot Station Codes are PIP and PAPN
Density altitude
I got checked out here last week. It was only 80F and the density altitude was already above 9000 ft! It took most of the lake to fly a pattern - be careful on warm days!
It is completely worth it if you're careful. Beautiful, and you're right in the middle of town.

I live there
My great grandfather earl mosier made it for an airport and eventually we moved in and he stopped flying in and out of it but it is now closed down because my family the bertoldi a currently live there and my mother Cindy mosier is his grand daughter. Just thought somebody would want to here some interesting family history of this airport,my house.
Excellent FBO
The Richmor FBO (soon to change owner) is in a delightful ex-military building. Excellent good service on 3 flights getting around NYC.
Lakefront
As of June 2013 the airport is in great shape (Flightline First is a lovely FBO). The best way to arrive at a still-great city.
