Great grass roots airport.

Nice little airport with self serve fuel.

friendly people, super airport!

Land north and take off south.

Jet a $4.85

100LL $4.95

Jet A with prist $4.45 / 100 LL $4.95

Airport Open, Construction has ended for winter, runway lights now functioning..

Taxiway Lights still Out..

AWOS SERVICE RESTORED..

Glad to discover Yarrow (28PA). It's always good to have landing out options in view! Thanks for keeping this airstrip operational. I'll watch for it from the air.

interesting place. Surrounded by mountains - approach carefully. Slope up hill on 28 like a ski jump. Nice FBO - odd in the middle of nowhere. People came out in a hurry b/c they thought the pump was broken. Stopped for fuel on the way home. I'd stop again.

The airport is currently closed getting new lights a new beacon and a new awos system. The airport also received a new piece of snow removal equipment last year . Keep up the good work Mr. Roman!!!!

there fuel prices are outrageous there asking $4.60 for 100LL and $4.25 for jet Fuel. Why arent they all arested and put in jail for price gouging.

who is the manager of the hazleton airport. Do they have an advisory committee. if they have either it appears useless. I have never seen an airport that size that is in such poor standards. no quality no lites no management my future business? I dont think so!

the line serviceman during the week appears nonexistent. no one answers the radio no one comes out to greet you and if you can find the employee in question he is usually asleep.

Any need for signage pertaining to the newly stationed helicopter ?

If so contact, Jeff Stewart at Howard Industries in Erie. We'll be glad to help.

Nice airport.

The FAA uses '22PN' for St. Joseph Medical Center Heliport

Reading, Pennsylvania

The FAA uses '12PA1 for Helicopter Applicators Inc Heliport,

Gettysburg, PA

The FAA uses '03PN' for M.P. Metals Heliport, Berwick, PA

Great airport, great service and great customer service personnel. An airport you have to give a try

Reply to @TwinCoFlyer: That's great news! There were too many horror stories from UFS-Aero.

Everybody should know that the FBO at CXY has been replaced. CXY Aviation is the new FBO. UFS-Aero is gone and thankfully so. NOW THERE ARE NO RAMP FEES, NONE. THERE IS STILL A LANDING FEE WHICH IS WAIVED FOR FUEL PURCHASES OR ANY OTHER SERVICES DONE BY ANY OF THE BUSINESSES ON THE FIELD. There are new hangers built and available. There are other maintanence shops. "Aircraft Maintanence Services" and "Wings and Things" to mention two. The new FBO is developing a new flight school and other facilities. Fuel is once again competitively priced. The Tower personal are great and very helpful. Give KCXY a try and I believe that you will not be dissatisfied.

Thanks for your consideration.

Reply to @david: I was there today and once again I had to pay a $150.00 ramp fee, and what did I get for it? NOTHING!!! The TV never works and now they do not have a crew car. I asked them twice and thought maybe someone would offer us a ride but they told us twice that we could walk to the stripmall. Unless I absolutely have to go to KCXY I will go to KMDT!!!

Visited St Mary's on Sunday, March 15 and had breakfast at the Silver Wing, which occupies the second floor of the nice new terminal building on the field. Nice restaurant, good food, terrific view of the ramp and runway. With the way airport restaurants have been closing, stop in and keep these nice people in business!

There is however regular scheduled service to Washington DC, Detroit and Philadelphia from State College. Allegedly on home football game days this becomes the busiest uncontrolled airfield in the US/the world (depends on the source). The runway had to be lengthened to allow Michigan to land their enormous jet with the whole team and band on board.

The FAA uses PA48 for Holy Spirit Hospital Helipad.

OK, I've removed the code for now. I can't find the right code for this airport, so perhaps it has been closed or delisted.

The FAA uses PA47 for Cloudbound in Gettysburg.

The FAA uses 5PA0 elsewhere.

There is a different 21PN in the FAA data.

This used to be in the FAA data, but it isn't any more.

Thanks, Paul -- I've made the updates, and put the old IDs in the keywords field.

A few FAA updates ago, Allentown Queen City changed id to KJVU and now it's changed id again to KXLL. (Except the FAA screwed up and put "XLL" in the FAA id part and "KJVU" in the ICAO part of the data)

I think this is the only FBO at Capital City Airport. They've blocked comments on AirNav, but here's what I got from a phone call today for a light piston aircraft:

Facility fee: $25.00 (waived with 5 gallon fuel purchase).

Ramp fee: $15.00

Landing fee: $8.00 (she wasn't sure about the exact amount)

It doesn't make sense for a quick fuel or lunch stop. Nearby Harrisburg International (KMDT) also has the landing fee, but not the ramp fee at the FBO.

The airport has an $8 landing fee for light piston aircraft, but the FBO has reasonably good gas prices ($5.20/gallon on 12 May 2008).

It is nice having an airport near by. It fits well in the atmosphere of the Pocono mtns.

Ok, if you're rusty on your short-field, crosswind, uphill landing techniques...take a long a flight instructor. But perched atop a taxiway about 500 ft from the runway is the best cafe/restaurant in the NY Metro area. Airport can be hard to find amongst the farms and hills, but overall is a great place for food. Cafe is open Thurs-Sun 7am-3:30pm. Don't sound like an idiot on the radio....when the cafe is open they broadcast the unicom in there!

Thanks FLUNKN -- I've updated the code.

Good home cooked food in the Runway Cafe

Great airport! FBO will provide ground transportation into town for a meal or over to the other side of the field to visit the Piper Aviation Museum. The collection is modest, but worth the trip for anyone interested in Piper history.
