Finally made it to this great little airport with the promised good eats. The flight from CYRO was a dream to plan and fly, arriving to the circuit do not expect to hear anything on the unicom if you call up in English. I made 3 field advisory requests with no response, joined mid downwind for 10 from the upwind side and did not see or hear any traffic. Upon landing a french flier came in and got the full treatment. Most pilots in the area give position reports in French. If you are totally anglo it makes for a bit of scare factor trying to sort out who is where.

I took a flight over there yesterday and it looks like some progress has been made since the last google earth pass. Will need to keep an eye on this one as an interesting place to be.

Tony, when do you want to go land there? Call me!

The approach into this airport is amazing with blackened earth surrounding pristine tarmac. It was quite the shock to see this place in the middle of paradise. The airport itself is made up of a series of interconnected huts. Half the time you are outdoors even on the airside.

I managed to find Cornwall easily enough on my first dual cross country this weekend. Am planning to go back solo this Saturday. Was a great airport with friendly staff.

Those who remember flying on CP or Canadian might recall the Brandon stopover. Generally was a stop, unload, wait 30 minutes then go type of thing. Was quite normal to stop here on the way from Calgary to Toronto.
