This looks like a pretty remote place to me. Though there is a road to it as well as an airport.

Its a great airport to fly to if you want to walk into town, take a look around, and have a coffee. Unique little town in the middle of southern sk. http://www.atouchofeurope.net

[CKK3] "Merge with 8U3?" by ptomblin

Comment by @ptomblin on Scobey Border Station Airport, Canada:

CKK3 and 8U3 appear to be the same airport. You merged 7S8 and CEP4, so these should probably be merged as well.

Comment by @bsdunek on Yorkton Municipal Airport, Canada:

Camped under the wing here on our way to Alaska. Some mechanics spent all night changing the engine on a Snow ag plane. Tried it out at first light - about 4:30 a.m. Boy, that big radial sure can wake you up! Not a bad sound to wake up to though.

[CYQR] "Friendly FBO" by AnthonyNalli

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 00:39:10 -0400

Comment by @AnthonyNalli on Regina International Airport, Canada:

During a fuel stop en route from Calgary to Brampton the FBO staffer offered his car so we could go down the street and grab a bite to eat. I wouldn't EXPECT this from the FBO but it goes to show the friendliness of the people there. Parking the 206 next to a fighter jet was kind of neat too!

[CYQR] "Avoid the Best Western hotel here" by Tony

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 11:18:43 -0400

Comment by @Tony on Regina International Airport, Canada:

I spent a night at the Regina Best Western in Jul 06. Not a pleasant experience, the hotel was hosting a sports tournament and there were children (and adults) running down the hallways all night. The non-smoking rooms and the hallway smelled of smoke, but they had nothing better to offer. There are panhandlers outside the hotel who will follow you if you go outside at night. There were no nice restaurants or stores in the neighbourhood, very rundown area. I requested the shuttle bus for a trip back to the FBO at 0630, but in the morning the shuttle was missing because the driver took it on a personal errand for an hour.

Comment by @sillybunny on Humboldt Airport, Canada:

Last time I was here the water came up to the edge of the runway. As I was backtracking to takeoff (closer to the edge) I pulled up beside a new family of ducks who didn't mind me at all!
