re: amravati airport..
So what you're saying is that you don't know how to do anything constructive or say anything to somebody who can actually do anything to help you, so instead you're just going to annoy a few thousand other people who have nothing to do with your airport. What's your email? I would like to send you a daily email enumerating every complaint I have against every bureaucrat in my home town.
re: amravati airport..
Since this is not a web site run by or even seen by anybody involved in airport development in India, posting your "when the hell" comment every freaking day is the most useless waste of time on the entire internet.
re: Data problem
I'm going to close this unless somebody objects.
re: amravati airport..
You're falling down on the job. It's been nearly 48 hours since you posted your daily useless comment.
re: LFSY is no longer Chaumont but CESSEY
Fixed the name and moved the marker.
re: IATA and ICAO Codes
Reply to @trasher: No, PAPN is the ICAO code for Pilot Point Airport, not Pilot Station.
re: Wrong identifier
Confirmed - my Eurocontrol data shows it as YSFG and "Stonefield Gliding" as well. Updated.
re: Frequencies are very outdate
If you have better information, please provide it.
re: Wrong location?
Unfortunately this seaplane base doesn't show up on the aeronautical charts at http://skyvector.com/?ll=25.761061845308774,-79.23504639034341&chart=301&zoom=1 and according to Wikipedia the airline that used to service this base, Chalk's International Airline, lost its flying charter in 2007 so it's possible that it's closed.
Dear anonymous commenter
Do you really think posting the exact same comment every god damned day is going do help get this airport developed? This web site is a resource for pilots and passenger around the entire world, and it is not run by the people in power in Amravati or Maharasa or anywhere else in India, and I can almost guarantee it's not read by them either. So give it a rest already, you're just annoying people.
re: Location
I've moved the airport marker, but it still doesn't look like an airport.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @Pivot: Do you have a new ICAO id for this airport?
CYLS
I wrote to the FAA about the fact that they still have this listed as CNB9, and they wrote me back asking exactly when it changed. The person asking said "I need this information to track down in what AIRAC Canada publication it was modified for FAA's history file and as an authorized source to update of FAA (NASR) data base." Anybody here know when it changed?
Spam?
Has anybody figured out why this airport of all the airports on this site seems to get all the random drive-by spam? I must delete 2 or 3 comments a week from here. (And I'm still not sure whether "Hello. And Bye" and the Russian one are spam). It makes me wonder if the "code for this script" comment is about some spamming software.
Would you believe...
The FAA still has this listed as CNB9 instead of CYLS. I've sent them an update.
re: WITB --> WITN
Reply to @YD1TNK: Made the change - thanks.
re: Runway
It certainly seems that way, and Google is known to do that. But for the definitive answer, you'd have to ask Google since its their map.
re: This airport has not operated in over 35 years. It is c
Somebody needs to alert the FAA then, because it's still in their database and according to them they verified the data with the facility owner in 1993.
re: Wrong airport name
OIGG (RASHT/SARDAR-E-JANGAL) and OINZ(SARI/DASHT-E-NAZ) are two different airports.
Fixed
Location and ICAO code fixed.

re: Probable incorrect location for base
Reply to @prattsoplenty: The Wikipedia link goes to a Wikimapia article about the Navy base, not the seaplane base. Not sure if I'd trust that. Skyvector shows the point pretty close to where we already had it. http://skyvector.com/?ll=53.399114444,-167.5519&chart=301&zoom=3
re: Unknown airport 25km NW of Alice
I can see why the confusion, though. If you zoom in on the long narrow strip of land that looks like a runway, those X things do kind of look like airplanes. http://goo.gl/maps/qtHCe Zoom in a bit further, and it becomes obvious they're not, however.
re: updated photos and images of lungi international airport
Which part of "we rely on Google Maps for our imagery" aren't you understanding?
re: Can anyone verify?
Reply to @david: It's not in George Plews lists (CFS airports, CFS heliports, WAS seaplane bases) that I can find.
re: Location of the heliport
I moved it to the location in the FAA database, but that put it in the courtyard of the medical center, so I visually moved the point over to that weird looking pad on the northeast.
re: Map of KSGU incorrect
Location fixed now.
Possible real location?
I've added a POI at something that looks like it might be an airstrip that's closer to Aerodrome Road.
re: Identifier?
Reply to @david: I don't trust that list, because it doesn't list Genesee County Airport, which changed its FAA id from 3G8 to GVQ because it had weather reporting and so therefore needed an ICAO identifier KGVQ. That happened when the US adopted METAR/TAF back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

re: Identifier?
Reply to @david: http://www.activitae.com/cgi-bin/htmlSearch.pl - I don't know if this actually looks at the ICAO database, or if it just applies the standard rule to the FAA ids. But it lists KOWD (and not abominations like K7G0 like I've seen in some places).
re: is this safe?
Reply to @Goli: No, of course it isn't safe. For one thing, nobody in the UK would use the word "freights". That's like saying you have several "mices". For another thing, there is no such address in London. Try typing it into Google Maps.
Cold War remnant
This airpark is the site of a Atlas F missile silo which was decommissioned ages ago. Some entrepreneurs have been trying to sell the underground control room as a luxury home and have divided the airpark into building lots, but from what I can tell there are only two houses on the site, the missile control room building and a log cabin. More information http://www.coldwarmissilesilo.com/index.htm
re: Identifier?
Yes, that is correct. When an airport in the "lower 48" contiguous United States has an FAA id that consists of only letters, it also has an ICAO code that consists of a "K" plus those same three letters. I am not aware of any airport in the lower 48 that does not obey that rule. In Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and US possessions, the mapping is lot less regular.
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.
re: The Airport With No Flights?
Ask a Canadian about Mirabel Airport some time.
re: wrong hemispere
I've moved the latitude, but I don't see an airport there.
re: Wrong map display for LFHV
Thanks, I've made the adjustment.
re: Name Change
Reply to @Desert185: Somebody needs to send an update to the FAA then, because the official location is a bit off, and they still have the runway as 12/30. They do have the name change, however.
re: Found utley texas
Reply to @thod: I changed the latitude of the airport from 0 to the same as the latitude of Utley TX, and I've changed the +97.41 to -97.41. Still don't see an airport there.
re: This can't be right?
There's no airport of this name in the FAA or Eurocontrol data.
re: Fees and fuel price
Reply to @david: Rochester briefly flirted with forcing the GA traffic to taxi to the commercial side for customs, but after several "incidents" in the first week, went back to meeting GA on the GA side.
re: anyone flown into here from Canada?
Reply to @david: That surprises me because Alexandria Bay is a tiny airport compared to Watertown. It's also PPR, and not listed as an AOE by the FAA. I think that listing may be for boats. The FAA still lists KART as an AOE, and like most small airports you have to call the nearest customs office 2 hours ahead of time.
re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @prattsoplenty: If I put 40 gallons of fuel in a Warrior, I'd think I was doing a piss poor job of fuel management. Maybe people who do a lot more flying than I do like to get down that low, but I don't.
re: Update
I've added Zomergem heliport to the site. All I have is a lat/long and a name, no other details.
Article
There is an article about this airport in Atlas Obscura: http://atlasobscura.com/place/safdarjung-airport
re: I got this when I typed in KBFE, which is Boeing Field i
No, Boeing Field is KBFI.
No commercial flights
According to wikipedia, it only has a 4500 foot long runway. You're not going to see a 777 landing there unless they triple that.

— @ptomblin at Griffin-Sloas Airport, United States
You should notify the FAA then, because this site has it the same place the FAA puts it - 41.2667N, 80.76645W
