re: Confused
It's very simple:
- if it's from Cameroon, it's a scam.
- If they ask for money using Western Union or Moneygram or any other wire transfer service, it's a scam.
If you want a pet, go to a breeder and see the pet and pay for the pet and take the pet home. You'll be a lot better off.
re: Cameroon scams?
It's a scam.
re: your data is not about the new airport of iloilo
I've moved the marker to the new location.

Reply to @jeany: Anybody who believes this is true *deserves* to lose their money.
re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @ptomblin: Oh wait, that one's already there. Just click the "navaids" checkbox. Not sure what else the original commenter could be commenting on.
re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @david: I've got a VOR with the id PVR named "VALLARTA" at 20.673094,-105.257497. I think the frequency is 116.6.
EAD data
My latest dataset from Eurocontrol shows the airport as still being open. They also list the name as "Vinnytsia/Gravryshivka".
re: Change the flag
Reply to @Thar:
Correct, this should be updated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Burma
re: AIRPORT NAME
My data (from Eurocontrol) says MALANG / ABDUL RAHMAN SALEH.
re: re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Reply to @david: Yeah, I made some sort of paste error when I saw the subdivision.
re: THIS IS NOT ROMSEY
Reply to @david: My Eurocontrol data gives the lat/long as 37.391667 | 144.738333, but I don't see anything there except a subdivision.
re: Free Maltese Puppies
Yes, it's a scam. Did you read the other comments in this thread? It's always a scam. If you want a dog, go see a breeder, or go to your local pound.
re: Arrivals at Airport
One of the things that this site provides is a link to the official web site for the airport (if we know of it). In the case of this airport, we do have a link to it. Perhaps if you can't find what you want here, you should try the one that people are actually getting paid to maintain, instead of rubbishing the one that's done by volunteers?
re: advice
It's a scam. Go to a reputable breeder in your own country, preferably one where you can go visit the facilities and see that the animals are happy and healthy. You might think it's expensive, but it's way cheaper than what people are getting scammed for, and you'll actually end up with a puppy, not just a lot of promises.
re: Info on getting there
You should probably contact Scenic Airlines http://www.scenic.com/ as they seem to be the only company operating into this airport. They appear to be a tour company rather than a simple airline.
re: Airport overview
ourairports.com doesn't have its own fleet of satellites. It has to rely on what Google provides. If the picture is out of date, then only Google can update it.
re: Downsview Park shuts down Toronto`s Canadian Air & Space
Reply to @prattsoplenty: I'm very sad about this. I went to the museum last year, and was amazed to find it was in the same building where I'd been in the Air Cadets in the mid 1970s (188 Squadron). It's a great little museum - obviously underfunded, but a real labour of love.
First time I flew there.
The first time I flew here was at night, and my first cross country with my wife. I came in off the lake shore and the controller said that he saw me on a right base. I said I couldn't see the airport (this was before the days of GPS). So the controller flashed the runway lights and I could see it. My wife was incredibly impressed that they flashed the whole airport at me.
re: Wrong frequencies
This website isn't supposed to be a substitute for legal datasources like your own country's aeronautical information publications or Jeppesen. It's crowd sourced, which means if you know something is wrong, tell us the correct values and we'll correct what we have.
re: I flew into Beja
See up in the top right, where is says "Sign on"? Click it.
re: Remaining runway
It looks like the foundations for the approach light system to me.
re: Questionable Owners
So where *do* you hope people crash?
re: Verwoerd
Well, it would be a much better website if people would tell us what the name changed to instead of just excoriating us for getting it wrong.
re: isiolo international airport
Take it up with Google. Nothing we can do about it.
re: also has KQTX code
Reply to @thesis: Look what it says on the "KQ" header: "(METAR weather station sites operated by the U.S. Department of Defense)"
In other words, "KQTX" isn't the airport, it's the weather station.
re: Closing all operations
Wikipedia says:
The airport is currently closed to air-traffic, although the concrete paved runway has been designated for use by cargo flights in the event of an emergency. There is an aerospace museum on site.
re: update
Reply to @ptomblin: There seems to be evidence on the net that there is a weather station here with the ICAO code KQMG, but since, as I said, ICAO codes starting with K are reserved for the US, I can only speculate that this is a US armed forces weather station, not an Iraqi one. Iraqi airports that have ICAO codes have codes that start with "OR". All ICAO airport codes are 4 letters long, and one or two letters of that code designate the country, so airports in the "lower 48" contiguous US states that have ICAO codes (not all do, some have local codes) have codes that start with "K", airports in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico have codes that start with "PA", "PH" and "TJ" respectively, Canadian airports have codes that start with "C", etc.
re: update
Reply to @thesis: ICAO codes starting with K are only for airports in the US. Whoever told you this one was KQMG is full of it.
re: Correct location of airport marker
I've moved the marker.
re: misplaced
Eurocontrol has a heliport at this location, called "GRAZ LKH" with ICAO id "LOGH".
re: Elevation
Reply to @ptomblin: I confirmed from the AIP that the elevation is really 520 ft.
Elevation
Just got an email from a user of the CoPilot iPhone app saying that the elevation isn't 118 ft, it's closer to 500 ft. I wonder if that means it's really 118 metres? If you go to the terrain map you see an unlabeled contour line and then another labeled 200 m as you head uphill from the airport.
re: Civilian carriers V Military aircraft
You refer to the DC-10 as an old airframe, and yet you prefer the VC-10, which first flew nearly 50 years ago? I'm willing to bet the DC-10 is *way* more fuel efficient and cheaper to operate. Probably safer too. And according to Wikipedia, the only flying VC-10s are tankers - the rest are there for spare parts.
Wikipedia also says that some of the Tristars passenger/tanker combos, and some of the passenger Tristars have counter measures against ground fire so they are used to fly people into possibly hostile places like Iraq and Afghanistan. So it's not that they don't use the Tristars, just that they don't waste them on moving people around in safe airspaces.
re: Puppy scam
Man, you're hilarious. Go back to your Chuck Norris fantasy, dude, you're really lousy at this one. And I'm not going to point out the 15 reasons why your story is obviously full of shit, because I don't want to hear your next load of BS to try and explain this load of BS away.
By the way, I'm supposed to be impressed you have an iPhone? I write apps for the iPhone, moron.
re: Puppy scam
Be sure and update your will. Your widow will appreciate it, providing she doesn't first give all your money to the kidnappers as ransom before they kill you.
re: Does Kaslo Airport have a call sign, like Victoria's YY
Reply to @ptomblin: Sorry, CBR2 isn't an ICAO code, it's just a Canadian code.
re: Does Kaslo Airport have a call sign, like Victoria's YY
CBR2 is its ICAO code. It doesn't have an IATA code.
re: Spelling
Actually, the data dump I bought from Eurocontrol calls it "SHARANA (SHARONA)", so I assume that means it has or had both names.
re: re: PET SCAMMERS
Yes, you got screwed, and if you keep dealing with them you're going to get even more screwed. They'll send you a cashiers check and have you send the money via Western Union to an accomplice. Then you will discover the cashiers check is forged and the money you send it gone forever. They use Western Union because it's untracable.
re: Hello!
They look like center pivot irrigation to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_pivot_irrigation
re: One runway only
If you click "Show Points of Interest", is that marker on what you mean?
re: Bedford Castle Mill - gone
The satellite picture corroborates what you said, so I'm marking it closed.
re: Information en detail
I've added the link.
re: Seaplane base
@Anonymous, the FAA disagrees with you. According to them, there are two separate airports called "Moberg Air Base", one a land base MI13, and one a seaplane base 96M.
Comment problems?
Dave, did you make some change to the comment system recently? It seems like in the last few days, every comment by a non-logged in person is repeated three times.
Grass strip
My conversion script didn't like the fact that you don't have a designation for the grass strip but it looks parallel to the asphalt strip so I named it "13G/31G".
Runway designation?
The runway designation appears to be missing.
Runway designations?
I don't think "N75E" is a valid runway designation.

— @ptomblin at Fiq Airfield, Israel
I tried updating the coordinates using "32 47 11 N" as per the Israeli navigation chart on Wikipedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/FiqAerodromeChart.jpg/685px-FiqAerodromeChart.jpg) , and things kind of blew up (Chrome on Linux).
