Comment by @Flying_Celt on Stanhope Municipal Airport, Canada:

I flew in for the first time today. I should have read the comments first, as I came in high an plopped it just like Tony predicted. I'll be back there later this year & will do better on the landing. I've heard that they will be adding a North/South runway this year for the G20 Summit at Deerhurst.

[CND4] "Challenging Approach/Landing" by bcrosby

Comment by @bcrosby on Stanhope Municipal Airport, Canada:

This was the first time landing at an aiport with a "shorter" runway (~2500'). The worst landing I've ever done (almost a 90 degree crosswind). Obsticals on both end of the runways (trees) so be careful on those hot/humid days.

Approach for 27 flies right over my friends cottage.

Comment by @Tony on Stanhope Municipal Airport, Canada:

A very popular fall fly-in destination - the scenary is beautiful. There can be lots of traffic on fly-in days. The approach is over the lake, with terrain rising to the runway - and the runway is narrow, so you might be high the first time you attempt this airport.
