I landed here on June 5, 1990 and spend the night. I was on a ferry flight from KICT to EBKT in a C172, on the leg KBGR-CYYR when I iced up about 30 nm north of the YEO beacon in a snow storm, and decided to make a 180 back to the strip. I woke up the next day to a foot of snow. A Coastguard Labrador picked me up later that morning and dropped me off in Wabush. Returned a week later with a beaver on floats, to fly the airplane out again.

Flew into Koumra in a Shorts SC7, Reg LX-UGO on Oct 2 1990. Just a quick stop just to check out the airport before continuing to Moundou, FTTD for some cold GALA. This was in conjonction with the locust control. I remember very well following the dirt road branching off the main road and leading to the threshold of 04.
