Reply to @140Pilot:

Fuel price in Feb 2012 is $1.60

LWT 353 kHz was decommissioned Nov 2008.

Same fuel vendor as SLO & Oceano. Best price w/in 60 miles.

The only food available on the field now is from a vending machine. Restaurant closed. No transportation to town. Must phone rental car.

This runway is now paved.

Great FBO. Had a courtesy car for us and found us a room when none were available. However, I would not stop there for anything but fuel in the future.

Very nice grass runway. Well maintained.

This is where I purchased my current plane in 2007.

This is where I keep N3962T

this is codey r u the gu that gav me bow way back

this web site sucks

Coordinates are 43.735 -80.447 (you can set them in google maps or your GPS). Flying, it is just NW from the town of Fergus, following Beatty Line across the river. Note that there is another, unrelated airstrip NE from Fergus - closer to the Belwood lake - and a couple of others, also unrelated fields just SE of the lake!

The only other information I have is that CPG7 "Fergus - Juergensen Field" (the airstrip we are talking about) is a home of the Chinook ultralights community (liftoffaviation.com) Hope that helps...

Landed here to look at a Cessna 150. Nice clean airport. No courtesy car, not much for dining. Frequent skydiving. Great pilot lounge.

Reply to @dazuppa: hi, can you tell me what the coordinates are for this airstrip in fergus Ontario?

Maybe you ignored and drove past the three signs telling you to park in the parking lot and not drive on the ramp? If so it shows your character to be that of, "I ignore rules and can do whatever I want", meaning they probably wouldn't want types like you there in the first place!

As of January 24, 2012 the airport - new airport facilities - has just begun. A drive by scheduled in the next few days will confirm if the tunnel for the road traffic has been started. Noise or not this airport will be a benifit for everyone! Hell maybe even my Mom can convince my stuck in the mud father to get on the plane for a visit now that the drive will be shortened to 35mins to Penonome!

On Jan. 23, 2012, the 3:20pm flight to Toronto was cancelled. A passenger was given another flight at the same time on the next day. He was not given transportation from and back to the airport, a hotel room, or meals. I'm very disappointed in Air Canada.

The airpark is far further along than you can tell from the Google Maps satellite view. Here's a recent aerial photo:

Very friendly. Let us use their personal car to get lunch

We visited this airport in 2009. Good military presence. Got a cab for us. Very cooperative

This is a most friendly little airport. The owner does request you not depart when the runway is very soft, though.

gepetto16@hotmail.com please let me know about the hagersville airport when it closed and why thanks again. Was it busy and did the planes fly every where was it busy in its hey day

when did the airport close and why did it close

nice grass strip that's looked after by a friendly group of pilots in a flying club.

Reply to @dazuppa: I did a TG ther same day. It's a nice approach to 26.

Runway is really "perched on the top of a hill", as mentioned by one of the commenter - and there are other hills, antennas and trees around, but the whole location is so very scenic, absolutely adorable. Runway and taxiways are in the perfect conditions, the airport is definitely maintained well, and there was a stash of wonderful flying machines in the hangar! Absolutely worth visiting.

I was always interested in visiting Bradford because of the L'il Buzzard fame (www.ultralightnews.ca) - I think it is a great website and the whole approach of the owner is right on.

Unfortunately, the landing surface was really bad. One of the hangar folks described it to me in advance as horrible, and that turned to be true - pretty much like landing on the unprepared field with a hump in the middle. Fortunately frozen today, so bumps were stiff - and approaching through the cut in the tree line on short final was fun. Managed to almost get stuck a couple of times while taxiing, though - and overall perception of the airport was like it used to be very much alive, but went down lately.

Copying the YAT beacon on 260.5 mhz with an Icom 756 ProIII in CW mode. Signal is very weak, however the morse identifier is audible enough to make out. I am using a multi-band Alpha Delta DXLB dipole. Location here is Milton, Ontario just west of Toronto.

Sorry about old RWY, it was 13/31

I have over 200 landings with the B737-200 and never had any problems with the RWY.

A precise approach and touchdown point is all you need.

BTW i flew into YGW when there were 2 strips before they condemned 03/21

This is usually first on my list of places to go when I need an excuse to fly and am looking for lunch. Always have different lunch specials, and always great!

Stayed the night. Used Jensen's courtesy car. Great FBO!

Just a quick stop to say I landed here.

Great grass roots airport.

Reply to @willymopit: I've always been treated well at TEB too (I use Atlantic), but I agree about cost of a taxi. There is a bus that stops near the airport and goes to the Port Authority; alternatively, maybe it's possible to take a cab just to the nearest NJ Transit rail station, and get into Manhattan that way. I'll look into it on my next visit.

Landed here to take a couple people residing in Manhattan on a Hudson River flight. First Aviation treated me well, and with the purchase of 20 gallons of fuel, waived the ramp fee. Looked kinda silly parking a C-152 next to all the executive jets, but they gave me first rate service and parking regardless.

Cab ride to Manhattan is exorbitant, need to find a better way!

Nice little airport with self serve fuel.

Got my PPL in Manassas (under the original ADIZ) but I call HWY (formerly w66) my homebase. Great little airport.... all it needs is self serve fuel.

Thanks, I've added that for now. Do you happen to know if it's a scheduled route or just a charter destination?

Opened in 1915 and closed in 1919.

Moved - thanks.

I was coming in at night and the airport is very hard to find among all the other light clutter. A very patient tower controller turned ry30 up full and turned all the other runway lights off to make it easier to find.

The Montreal Soaring Council Airfield is located in the Township of West Hawkesbury on Route 4, just off Highway 17 approx. 1.5 km west of the Town of Hawkesbury. Hawkesbury is located on the shores of the Ottawa River approximately one hour from either Ottawa or Montreal.

Geographic location: N45º 37.2' W74º 38.9'

Available runways: 09 / 27, 1775 x 485 turf, no winter maintenance

Radio Frequency: ATF 123.30

Thanks

This airport is awesome! Open on Christmas Eve was a bonus when I dropped by for a quick stop-over. Highly recommend a visit!

San Angelo has a great Chinese food resaurant on the airport grounds. Very good food and large portions.

Great food within 1/4 mile of airport.

The YAT beacon on 260 KHz was copyable here in Amherst, NYon 24 December 2011 at 0655Z. I received it with a Yaesu FT-450AT amateur radio transceiver and an 8 meter vertical antenna.

The ZSJ beacon on 258 KHz was copyable here in Amherst, NY on 24 December 2011 at 0645Z. I was using a Yaesu FT-450AT amateur radio transceiver with a 8 meter vertical to receive the beacon.
