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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I was here! That's about all there is to say. :)

Don't screw up! The Cemetery is right up against 07. :)

A bit rough but not a problem. If the wind is up, pretty choppy around the trees.

Fortunately, Beverley Airport, a 25-minute drive to the north, loves general aviation, and even offers free customs. Logan has a great location, but Massport clearly doesn't want us using the airports it operates.

It's nice to see that they respect General Aviation pilots and work towards making their fees and costs reasonable! (this represents sarcasm, of course)

An 85-year-old woman said she was injured and humiliated when she was strip-searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner.

Transport security officials have denied allegations by Lenore Zimmerman, who said she was taken to a private room and made to take off her clothes after she asked to forgo the screening because she was worried it would interfere with her defibrillator. She missed her flight and had to take one two-and-a-half hours later, she said.

"I'm hunched over. I'm in a wheelchair. I weigh under 110lb (50kg)," she said. "Do I look like a terrorist?"

But in a statement the Transportation Security Administration said no strip search had been carried out.

"While we regret that the passenger feels she had an unpleasant screening experience, TSA does not include strip searches as part of our security protocols and one was not conducted in this case," the statement read.

Zimmerman was dropped off by her son at JFK airport in New York for a 1pm flight on Tuesday to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on JetBlue, she said. She arrived at the ticket counter at about 12.20pm and headed for security in a wheelchair, her metal walker in her lap.

She said she had been traveling to Florida for at least a decade and had never had a problem being patted down until now. "I worry about my heart, so I don't want to go through those things," she said, referring to the advanced image technology screening machines at the airport.

As a result, she said, she was taken into the private screening room by a female agent and made to strip.

"Private screening was requested by the passenger, it was granted and lasted approximately 11 minutes," the TSA said. "TSA screening procedures are conducted in a manner designed to treat all passengers with dignity, respect and courtesy and that occurred in this instance."

The private screening was not recorded.

Jonathan Allen, a TSA spokesman, said a review of closed-circuit television at the airport had showed that proper procedures before and after the screening had been followed.

Zimmerman said she banged her shin during the process and it bled "like a pig,", partly because she is on blood-thinning medication. She said an emergency medical technician patched her up, but she was told to see a doctor when she arrived in Florida to make sure the wound did not get infected. There are no records indicating medical attention was called on her behalf.

"I don't know what triggered this. I don't know why they singled me out," she said.

Her son, Bruce Zimmerman, said: "My mother is a little old woman. She's not disruptive or unco-operative. I don't understand how this happened."

He said she had had an increasingly difficult time travelling, especially since her husband died a few years ago. She has two grandchildren and her older son, a doctor, died in 2007.

I flew in once to get some gas and thought the same thing. The guy (don't remember his name) seemed all put out at having to take my money for the fuel. Can't put my finger on it but there was something just a little bit (off) about him. Other than that its a nice little fly in,...Runway could use some work.

Richmond is a nice little airfield but the FBO operator acts a bit strange.,

As of summer 2011, no more fuel and the restaurant is closed. Customs and an FSS is about it. Nearest fuel, motel or restaurant is Tok.

THIS IS A SCAM!!! This is the email I received when inquiring about a pom puppy Listed in Dockweiler Beach, California - this is a scam. That same email rsponse is listed at the Cameroon Douala International airport.

Your home sounds loving and perfect for Timmy. Thanks for your soonest responds and assurance. We must say that we are so excited to let Timmy to your loving home , we trust you so much now that you have assured us a loving home for Timmy. Timmy would get along well with your family Timmy is a very smart and intelligent beautiful little girl with a super personality. She has a heart of gold and warms up to everyone quickly. She is good with children and other animals, Timmy is 21 weeks old and highly potty trained. We really hope you are a pet lover because we want the best for her, we know we will be missing our girl dearly but providing all her needs makes us very happy. Please we just want you to promise us you are going to take very good care of her. Timmy will make a wonderful companion to your family and she will be the highest play mate you can ever imagine.

To tell you a bit about my self, i am Victorine the wife of Penn. I am 29 and i am expecting my first baby. I got married 3 years back and we are so happily married. I have been with dogs all my life as my Grand Father was a pet lover. I usually go there on holidays and would spend much time with the animals and house pets there. Timmy`s mother Milo was given to me as a wedding gift by my grand father.

We traveled to Salt lake city Utah on research purpose. We are out to carry out a research on plants and backs of trees in the Victoria East Bay botanic garden research center Salt lake city Utah. The area is good in many species of plants and some of the plants and backs of trees serves as medicines. We would be here for 7 months and we do not really have time to take good care of Timmy that is why we have decided to give her for adoption.

we not selling Timmy or giving her away for an adoption fee. All we need from you is to show her all the love and care she deserves and to treat her as a member of your family, sending us updates and pictures of her from time to time.

There will be no problem flying Timmy to you as she has all her health papers and she will come with them. All you will need to do is to get back to us with your detail address that is your full names, your state, city, phone number, zip postal code and the name of the nearest airport to your location and we will do the shipping arrangements and fly her to you so that you will pick her up from the airport.

As soon as you get back to me with your detail address we will do the shipping arrangements and prepare the adoption and transfer of ownership document of Timmy at the pets department of the salt lake city international airport. When we have completed the shipping arrangements under your address, the pet shipping company at the salt lake city international airport will contact you for notification you will then pay the shipping fee directly to them which will cost $250. This fee includes all the airport charges so you will not have any other fee to pay. The pet shipping company will also let you know how the shipping and delivery works. It really hurts to see her go but we are just doing this for her own good.

When you are ready for us to proceed with the shipping arrangements you get back to us with your address so that we will do the shipping arrangements.

Thanks and waiting to read from you

Victorine and Penn

I Googled her name when I got a bad feeling that this was not on the up and up. This scam is also being done with chihuahuas and bulldogs. Google Victorine Monique and they will come up.

This is where Porter Airlines flies from downtown Toronto.

Residing in Atlanta and use the Atlanta Airport for both domestic and international travel. I have been through many airports throughout the world and find the Atlanta Airport to be one of the best. The airport has a north and south terminal that are combined together. The rail system maks it extremely easy to navigate between terminals. A new separate international terminal is scheduled to open in 2012, which should make it very efficient with international travel and going through CBP.
