Range very accomodating -- they did a cracking talk at the flying club Christmas Do a few years ago, and have taken group round the tower there to see how they operate. They are very keen to maintain good relations with GA.

From the 1st November 2011 Truman Aviation Ltd at Nottingham Airport has had new owners and a new management team.

Whilst we understand that we are not perfect, we have spent considerable time and effort in attempting to improve the customer...

I flew into Sturgate on Saturday and would like to thank the people there for the hospitality. A small airfield but a nice run from Cranfield (home base) and very reasonable (£5) landing fee!

I would recommend to anyone who fancies trying somewhere...

1000m hard runway just outside Velez-Malaga. Run by the Real Aero Club...

A new one to the list!!

Big regional airport up on the plateau.
Fully manned, fully staffed,even a nice cafateria/resturant, just very few planes.
Probably the worlds biggest 'odd shaped' CTR!
Still, RV-12 landing €11.75 inc tax
No idea about...

Great airfield, easy to find.

Cab ride from the town of San Sebastian (the built up area around the airport is NOT San Sebastian (Donostia is the local Basque name). Great town, well worth seeing and an ideal first taste of Spain for a pilot as it...

OK, i'll start the ball rolling with an aerial photo of the airport, never yet actually been there though.

Repurposed military airfield between Etain and Nancy with six shiny euro-funded club hangars - 2 each for the microlights and Group A, one for the gliders and one for the restaurant. Radio in French.

Long hard runway. Grass is split into two, only...

I'm off there on Saturday to watch Wales v England.

No PPR is required, and parking and all landing fees can be paid at Cardiff Aeros (which closes at 5.30 during the week and at weekends it depends on who's flying as to how late they stay but...

Anyone familiar with the short channel crossing must be familar with Lydd, but I had never actually landed there, so decided to rectify this.

Only one runway, but a big one at that, all of 1500m aligned 03/21. Easily enough room to land and stop by...

Called in to Caernarfon today to find their old building closed.

They have now moved into newly built premises. I have to say it is excellent.

I'm looking to fly onto Tours sur Loire from the UK and the landing fees page on the airport website is missing. I've tried emailing but got no reply and the pilot notes on SD give widely varying costs.

On the airport website is says that...

Flew into Sleap today to take our aircraft for a 50-hour. Most delighted to discover that since we were using a business on the airfield there was no landing fee.

Air/Ground went above and beyond the call of duty helping everyone slot in seamlessly...

An unlicensed aerodrome south of the M4/Swindon, Draycot Farm is a lovely 700m grass strip oriented North/South on the Wiltshire downs which I visited last week. PPR is NOT required, so you can come and go as you please (picnic tables outside the...

Lovely grass airfield with x-runways of 600m & 800m on top of 1850ft hill in the Ardenne. Do not confuse with EBSU/St Hubert military installation a mile to the east with its huge 2km runway you fly over on downwind!! €11.15 landing fee,...

Word has reached us in JAM that this should have started before mid-January. 04/22 (hard and, I assume, grass) will presumably be the only available FW runway(s). Work expected to continue into but by end of April. I assume this will all be NOTAMd....

Did a fuel stop there yesterday. Part of the Highlands and Islands airports network so the official rules and attitude on the web site seem officious but the reality is very friendly and practical (ditto Kirkwall and Inverness).

Two 750 metres grass runways. Delightful green-field aerodrome. Visited recently to pick-up some friends who live locally. Delightful spot, very friendly but with planning restrictions so one does need to call ahead to check that you can arrive on a...

This is the closest aerodrome (500m of slightly bumpy grass) to the coastal town of Neustadt on the baltic coast. You call them for PPR.
I have mixed feelings about this place. They have a nice clubhouse with bar etc, have avgas and take credit...
