david's latest comments

According to this source, two of the airport's runways are still in use by EAA members, so I've reflagged this as an active (though not registered) airport:

Can any Maritimes pilots confirm that the field is still active?

Marked as closed -- thanks.

Reply to @Chally: Thanks for the information. All the TAF and METAR information on OurAirports currently comes from a free US government source -- it's complete for Canada, the US, and Western Europe, as far as I can tell, but likely misses some reports from smaller stations elsewhere.

I see the temptation, but when you wrestle with a pig, you both end up dirty. I've never replied, so I don't know what they'd offer, but I'm sure no actual money would end up changing hands.

Here's more information about the Cameroon Pet Scam:

FYI, every 2-3 weeks, now, I get requests to advertise on this site what are clearly pet scams -- I simply delete them. The scammers are also leaving comments here, but for the most part, I'm not deleting them, because (a) people are quickly pointing them out, and (b) it's useful to see how the scammers work.

When I designed a web site for airport enthusiasts, I never imagined that it would also help save people from being victims of scams (I'd never heard of the Cameroon Pet Scam until the comments started appearing).
