Very nice pilot lounge. Best fuel prices in the area. Lighted runway with AWOS. Home of the restored Canso. Nice airport to visit but a little too far to walk to town. About 4km.
No longer free 20 min
Too bad, used it ALOT. But there's the cell lot now so that works just as well
Fuel
Credit cards not accepted at pump. Transient pilots must call in attendant with a special card. Then credit card is accepted manually by same attendent in terminal building. Had to wait about 15 minutes. The fact that credit cards are not accepted at the pump is not displayed, and we tried several times.
Open
I land here quite often. There's a pizza place 1 block away with great ice cream!

Friendly, great fuel price and a courtesy car!
Great airport to stop at, the super friendly fuel system owner gave me a beverage and helped me fuel my airplane; the courtesy car was a great thing to have use of too.

The most disrespectful wild life harassing people I have ever met chasing moose on horse back and with air plane is not legal

History
I lived and went to school in Athabasca back in the early 60s. There used to be a small grass airstrip with a few hangers and some small high wing aircraft. Piper Cub, Fleet 80 or similar. At that age l just wanted to fly. As a retired B737 Jurassic and Classic pilot l took the opportunity to see how Athabasca has changed. What can I say......remarkable and beautiful.

It says in the Info sheet that there is no lights. WRONG! This airport has full automatic runway lights and they are functioning
Staying overnight
The museum is a good one to see and The best Western-Wayside Inn is a very nice accomidating place to stay
Shell 13 airport
Hello. This airport does not currently nor did it ever exist - The Shell Aerodrome on this site is designated CAL4 , named Ft. McKay/Albian Aerodrome and is shown accurately below and slightly to the right As Ft. MacKay / Albian Aerodrome. Proper spelling is McKay.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Nice Airport
I visited Sept. 16, 2014 for the first time. Nice terminal building with soft drinks and cookies available. Congratulations to Justine on her first solo.
Villeneuve Airport
No preparation was made to make this Edmonton's alternative GA airport before closure of Edmonton's City Centre Airport (Blatchford Field). Airport services are terrible. There are no vehicle rental kiosks and no restaurants. The airport is too far from the city. And the airport has no web page!! How the heck does this airport attract any visitors with no web page? This is a terrible airport.
Namao CAFB
Alberta (Edmonton in particular) is hell bent on removing itself from the aviation community. The Calgary Airport Authority (a privately owned operator) is the only corporation making any real effort to develop aviation interests in Alberta.
Clearing Customs from Canada to USA at Ross International Ai
One of my biggest mistakes in 20+ years of flying. I took my Cessna C172N in to what is known as Ross Inteernational Airport. Nice name but a poor excuse for an airport let alone 'International'. Just about bought the farm on this venture. Rough sod, no facilities and the Customs Officer was unfriendly because I didn't phone 2 hours prior to landing even though I had phoned earlier in the week and completed the e-aptis thing, my bad I guess. Taking off was the test, picked the wrong direction, slighly up hill, thought there was no wind but there was in the wrong direction. I really thought I was going to end up in the vehicle border crossing building. Should have taken off west and taken my chances of crashing into the cemetary. Never going in there again.

Grass Strip
I love it.
Cooking lake Airport is developing lots for up to 20 new han
In October 2013, the airport began construction of 3 new taxiways and access roads for 20 new hangar lots. The airport has been there since 1926 and just keeps getting better - its a casual, fun and friendly place to hang out with fellow flyers.

re: Back up in 2012
Yes it's open again. Aug 2013. The grass is mowed and the runway markers are layed out. I flew from there 2 weeks ago.
Great gateway for Jasper & Prince George
Have stopped here several times. Usually deserted, but once met the friendly guy who does charter flights over Jasper and Mt. Robson. Nice place for a stretch and rest coming or going between Rockies and prairies.
Crop dusters
Any regulations for crop dusters? One is flying so low over our house and trees. We have a licensed wildlife rehab and bird sanctuary, and our birds are actually getting hurt trying to avoid his regular low flyovers. Number C-GFTS.
re: Close to Edmonton and price of fuel
Cooking Lake Airport is now being operated by the hanger owners at Cooking Lake. The owners took over the airport from Edmonton Airports on October 1, 2012. The airport does not receive any grants from local (Strathcona) or provincial governments - unlike many of the other airports across the country. The airport is home to 73 hangers and around 200 aircraft. There is a new website for the airport - cookinglakeairport.com
Rough field
Been there a couple of weeks ago, mid-May '13, passed low and over. Fairly easy to find, though not many landmark features around. Looks like a private airstrip, currently not quite taken care of. It is listed in CFS, though without a chart - unusual! There was an empty hangar at the end of the airstrip, and southbound approach was almost over the rooftops of the farmers' house. I refrained from landing there due to a visibly rough and deteriorated surface - and that's a pity, as location is pretty neat. Hope this strip will recover at some point, heard rumors about that, but please check with the owner before arriving!

re: No Brakes
Good to hear about Ram Falls! Wondering if you, or anyone, has ever flown into the Shunda Airstrip (east of Nordegg) or the Brazeau Airstrip. straight north of there? I see they are abandoned but are they landable? Thx
No Brakes
Strip appeared to be clear of snow and grass covered on March 31st 2013. The surface was water on frozen turf. It was a long roll out in My Scout with Alaska Bush wheels. Shouldn't have been a surprise but it was. No problems out and agreat day. I was into the Ram Falls strip prior and it was dry.

— Anonymous Flyer at Spirit River Airport, Canada
Restaurant and grocery store within a very short walk from the airport. Paved apron with tie downs. Nice place to stop over.
