Picking someone up at Love Field in Dallas? GOOD LUCK !
Worst Airport in the world to pick someone up at.
They have this Circle drive. That they wont let you stop on.
And there is no place to park.
So you can go in to check on the status of the flight you are waiting on.
Unless, you want to pay $17.00 for the parking garage.
Or you can walk about 3/4 of a mile.
From the cell phone parking lot to the terminal.
At DFW you can park for free.
Right across the street from the teriminal you are going to.
And it only cost about $2.00 in toll to go through the airport.
Love Field has a long way to go to be a modern air port.

Basic Training
Flew charter here direct from Detroit KDTW for basic training, Spring 1968.
YIP
Flew out on one of the last Eastern Airlines flights to use Willow Run. Returning to Mich. two weeks later we landed at Detroit Metro. Spring of 1966.
C gate -dirty
Stained carpets, crumbs on floor, metal floor joints look like they have never been wiped, C24 is a messy germ fest at 6am on a Monday. Does anyone clean here? Gross!!!
95WA
Airport appears closed, runway unusable due to debris.
BUFFS NDB DC frequency correction
This NDB is actually on 348 kHz foryears now.
DON'T LAND HERE!
Don't land here unless you want the FAA, FBI, CIA, and NSA take their turns giving you a thorough proctology exam!!!
Carswell Air Force Base
Stationed at Carswell 1986-1992 during the last years of the Cold War and the end of the Reagan presidency. The base has lots of history, from the roll-out of all the great Convair and General Dynamics aircraft across the field, to being a movie star in Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart. It was a great assignment, and a wonderful area (even though the summers were just too hot!). Loved watching the sky turn black when the B-52Hs all took-off during the major exercises, followed by all the KC-135s. What a sight to behold! Also loved the impromptu airshows when GD rolled-out a new F-16 for initial flight tests right over the airfield! That always brought everyone out of their offices, and stopped Commissary & BX shoppers in their tracks to watch the performance!
M57 Rangeley, Maine
Home to Acadian Seaplanes. Owner / Operator Keith Dechambeau.
100LL available. Self serve, honor system. Keep it that way!!!!
Dock tie available or back it up to the beach.
Food
Great restaurant!
Short
Caught some "attitude" here from more than a few people. Wasn't as friendly as I would have liked.
Woo hoo! Three forks saved the day!
Traveling due West I ran head on it to worsening weather. spun around and tried to get back in the clear but the sky opened up and the worst rain I've ever encountered began to fall. Flash flood stuff. immediately headed toward the closest airport (Three Forks). Landed with plenty of thunder and lightening. Moral of the story. You can watch the weather very closely (I DID) and still get bushwhacked! Thank you Garmin!
Nice area, nice general aviation airport.
Great airport / FBO. A bit spendy but hey, worth it.
Camping
Camping OK on lawn in front of fbo-also showers in the back of fbo

Priebe was where I remember flying out of as a kid in the 1980's and early 1990's. Sometime around 2010 the airport was sold to the county sanitation and the landfill is very nearby. However, you can still see remnants of the runway (cut in half with a road dissecting it and in very poor shape) as well as the aircraft tiedowns just west of the former runway. The old prop shop (which operated as an event space prior to being sold) has been torn down, but the hangar that Jim Priebe built in the late 1980's is still in use by the landfill for storing equipment.
Friendly Airport
Feel welcome to stop by to visit Tony and Danny. You will be greeted with a "hello glad to see ya" attitude. They are both A&P mechanics in case you need help with repairs. They are making improvements to the 5200' grass strip. They are always happy to great new visitors and are always glad to see old and new friends. They usually have a cook out every 3rd Saturday of the month and, all are welcome. Chip in by bringing your favorite dish or just show up to chat with fellow pilots while enjoying a pot luck dinner. You want find a more friendly place.

Terrible
Close to Holiday World
This airport may seem like it is in the middle of nowhere, but it is... actually yes. But keeping it company is Holiday World. One of the best amusement parks I have ever been to.
Gilmer Airport
Small Short Airport
New Century Aircenter KIXD
Formerly known as Olathe Naval Air Station, and later Flatley Field after James H. Flatley Jr.
A very nice place...
We were delighted with our recent visit to Pagosa Springs. The airport is nice and the runway long and wide. There is self-serve fuel and a bathroom in case the FBO is closed.
We stayed at the Sky View Motel, not the fanciest place in town, but were willing to pick us up and drive us around town a bit. They even have complimentary beer and a continental breakfast/snack! SkyViewpagosa.com 970-264-5803.
Pagosa Springs should be on everyone's bucket list. A wonderful little community nestled against the mountains, with great things to do Summer or Winter.
Good restaurant
For those visiting, there's a nice restaurant, right on the field - good food, reasonable prices.
Great Airport
This is the where I earned my PPL. It is home to one of the best FBO's in the northeast.. Great place to learn to fly!
Stopped here by chance
What a great "quiet" little place. Stayed the night on a long cross country. Two courtesy cars. Stayed at the Lazy B Motel. Clean, cheap and safe. Afton is what I'd like to see more of in America. Less corporations and more unique mom and pop businesses. Good food at the Elkhorn Cafe. The local talk will be kids, cows and horses. Check out the photo of Jesus holding a shotgun. Only in Afton! :) I will return!
Woodbine Airport
Yes, Woodbine is a very nice airport with great runways, but I take offense that the banner pilots are crazy, in fact the banner pilots at very professional and take flying seriously.
First Sunday Fly In Breakfast
During flying season head to Nulltown the morning of the first Sunday of the month. Breakfast is served and the true feeling of flight will be upon you.
Customs
I flew in via Canada. Northway didn't wish to send anyone down late so I flew direct here from TOK (precleared for a technical stop) and Canada. Customs is around by gate 6 at the main terminal.
Fuel and a store
Fuel and a small grocery store. A dump!
Berz airport
Some people seem confused. There were actually two Berz Airports. The first was at Crooks Rd and Maple (16 mile) in Troy, that was sold to Rockwell in 1967 or 8. Then the new one was started at 22 mile and Hayes in Macomb Twp.
Customs at HPN
I'm planning to fly into HPN from Canada this Sunday, so I called to find out about service at 914-428-7858. They need two hours notice (plus an eAPIS), and you taxi to Jet Systems (Signature?) next to the tower after landing. Hours seem to be 06:00–20:00 local weekdays, 12:00–20:00 local weekends, but call to confirm. They can also do after-hours with four hours notice, but I suspect there would be a call-out charge.
TSA screening
I do not see any other place to leave any commentary about the airport experience. This was my first time outside the airport, experiencing Dallas, going through security on the return today (4 pm) we had our fingernail clippers confiscated?!! REALLY...you know you cannot disagree with the TSA agent but that guy was ignorant and stupid and probably had dirty nails...he thought it was a knife...REALLY IGNORANT... and RUDE... and after three screenings and an examination of standard fingernail clippers, he said "we will have this destroyed (melted down)" Expletives not uttered but rolling around my mind these many hours later...we will fly through Dallas and not leave the airport in the future, and buy some new fingernail clippers tomorrow.
KSNC
Good mountain bike trails are around KSNC and the adjacent State Forest!
See comment.
Cold in Winter and hot as hell in Summer. Use 8 and 26 if possible. Old WWll fighters rebuilt for some South American governments in the '60s and '70s.
Well maintained
Outstanding Airport
Food
Two restaurants on the field, the Gin Mill is in the middle of the ramp and has better food.
Great airport
Really nice folk and all general aviation. Good place to keep an airplane. Good maintenance.

From http://airport.westchestergov.com/general-aviation/flight-services :
"Westchester County has affirmative policies encouraging the use of light general aviation at the airport in its effort to maintain a persified [sic] aviation community. Two of the five fixed base operators at the airport specialize in light general aviation services."

Flickr Images of the Greater Southwest Airport (Amon Carter
Photographers who have photo images of Amon Carter Field when it was still in use during the '60's ought to consider placing them (photos) on FLICKR for enjoyment of aviation buffs. I'm sure there are some folks out there who still have pictures of this airport in Ft. Worth in their possession . It would be interesting to see what the airport operations and facilities were like back then. I was personally privileged to tour the terminal plus the concourses as well as the ramp area with a friend of mine back in mid '70's. Unfortunately, I did not have a camera with me to photograph the airfield. We had unlimited access to the concourses and ramp. There were no aircraft operations after DFW opened. I was fortunate to find an original kodachrome slide, on EBAY, taken in 1955 with a Central Airlines DC-3 parked on the south concourse. The image is in excellent condition. I'm lucky to have it in my personal collection. Today, nothing exists on the site of the terminal of historical significance. A small bit of concrete slab, part of the taxiway from the runway is still there and can be seen clearly after take off from DFW. March 27, 2014 Bob V H
