Is there a Canadian port of entry at this airport

To whom it may concern, my hubby just turned 40 and has a love of the old planes. We love in lacombe and we see all the amazing planes sometimes daily. Dans dad was a pilot. I'm am just wondering if I could get Dan up in the air in one of the old birds. My email address is manningtara1@gmail.com I would love to do this for him. If anyone has a contact or knows someone that would be able to do this for me I would be very appreciative. Thank you in advance.

Tara ps he is home from work this coming weekend.

Date of trip: 2013-06-15. Outstanding service. They'll drive you from the FBO to the ferry, and there is an FBO phone so you can call them to come pick you up. It's about 5 minute walk west, then south, if you choose to forego the drive. Then you can take the Porter shuttle bus to the area of the Royal York,a nd catch the subway (or a taxi) from there.

Fuel (100LL) was $2.00/litre plus 13% HST. Ouch.

Parking on the Porter ramp was n/c for less than an hour, or $25 for a day, or $35 for overnight (all plus 13% HST). I arrives at 11am Saturday, and did not leave until 8pm Sunday, they charged me for one overnight. For that length of time, that's less expensive than parking my car at a downtown Toronto hotel.

Landing fees at CYTZ are currently $11 (probably plus tax - have not received that in the mail as yet).

The is an airport about 5km NE - is this the real Altamira Airport?

Is this airport still in use?

Abandonned many years ago, not on chart anymore

Flown in several times during flight training. Now San Carlos has a well stocked aviation supply shop, San Carlos Aviation & Supply. They have a fully packed shop and what they don't have Hans will get for you.

Meadowbank mine should arrive to EOL in 2018. The airstrip will be closed during the restoration process after the mine closure. Expect the runway to disappear at the end of 2018 or in the beginning of 2019

I use the airport all the time for our private jet. When every inch counts.... What happened to the extra foot...If we find it can we still use it?...LOL!

Landed here early 2013 on an Angel Flight from KPAO. Nice runway, pretty mountanious scenery in and out. FBO (Susanville Aviation) was very helpful and had fuel and oil for us.

No remaining buildings but there are historical markers etc, on the grounds

Most of the information below is now out of date. For current information consult the CFS (Canadian flight supplement) the latest terminal chart plus.

Was there very late at night, and even though they were closing up all the staff was very friendly and helpful

Recommend using on-field VOR to get there, otherwise hard to find

Reply to @david:

From what I understand, "UPB" is for VTUU. Use of "UPB" for "Habana/Playa Baracoa" is tolerated for local use having been used by the Cuban military before civil use was permitted. The abreviation came from the ICAO code "MUPB", with pilots dropping the M, much like dropping the K from US mainland ICAO codes to get most US IATA codes. I hope this makes sense, I'm sure others could clarify this further.

Nice and quiet mountainous airport - located in a beautiful valley, with excellent runway, very well cared about, and just slightly challenging approaches due to elevated terrain surrounding the field. Nothing to be worried about if your plane can perform - and the scenery around is simply adorable! Note that you can easily barge into US airspace flying southbound, so keep your eyes open unless that was your plan...

Been there a couple of weeks ago, mid-May '13, passed low and over. Fairly easy to find, though not many landmark features around. Looks like a private airstrip, currently not quite taken care of. It is listed in CFS, though without a chart - unusual! There was an empty hangar at the end of the airstrip, and southbound approach was almost over the rooftops of the farmers' house. I refrained from landing there due to a visibly rough and deteriorated surface - and that's a pity, as location is pretty neat. Hope this strip will recover at some point, heard rumors about that, but please check with the owner before arriving!

It is for sale as an airfield. Who are they kidding ?

Don'tg even think about it. This is NOT an airfield by ANY definition

Very uneven, unmowed, very narrow [next to ordhard] , LP gas tank right next to 'runway'.

This might have been a grass strip usable by a Piper cub at one time, but it is NOT SAFE to consider this even in an emergency !

If this was ever used, it has been years. I repeat not safe.

Hi, is there any commercial company that will fly passengers to Harrison Lake?

Delighted to see the work you have done to preserve the memory of this epoch.

Wind sock ripped and unreliable, runway still in decent shape despite some overgrowth, at least 2000ft good, as of Aug 2012. tall trees on either end

Isn't this strip closed now?

Current manager's tele # is no longer in service.
