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.

Comment by @evorbach on St Marys Municipal Airport, United States:

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.

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!

[KCXY] "KCXY" by TwinCoFlyer

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:56:42 -0400

Comment by @TwinCoFlyer on Capital City Airport, United States:

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!!!

[KOYM] "The Silver Wing" by Warrior481

Comment by @Warrior481 on St Marys Municipal Airport, United States:

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!

[KUNV] "no air traffic control" by ianturton

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:41:25 -0500

Comment by @ianturton on University Park Airport, United States:

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.

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.

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)

[KCXY] "FBO and airport fees" by david

Mon, 12 May 2008 20:25:58 -0400

Comment by @david on Capital City Airport, United States:

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.

[KMDT] "Landing fee" by david

Mon, 12 May 2008 20:12:28 -0400

Comment by @david on Harrisburg International Airport, United States:

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).

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Cherry Ridge Airport, United States:

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!

Comment by @Warrior481 on William T. Piper Memorial Airport, United States:

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.
