Ahhh Australians.
Defiantly a nation founded by the British working class. Flippant to the end.

Ahhh Australians.
Defiantly a nation founded by the British Criminal class. Flippant to the end.

Fixed for accuracy.

[The Brain]

Warroad should be in Australia. Otherwise the list seems correct.

Slave Lake is a terrible place.  Indians are everywhere.

[Barrister]

Places yours truly has been:

Flin Flon Airport (YFO), Canada
Slave Lake Airport (YZH), Canada
Beaver Creek Airport (YXP), Canada
Moose Jaw Airport (YMJ), Canada
Chicken Airport (CKX), USA (by the way, the list mistakenly says its code is CKV )

And, the one airport on the list I have flown into/out of:

Whale Cove Airport (YXN), Canada




Whale Cove is a tiny Inuit community on Hudson's Bay.  The airport is gravel, is a single building with "Whale Cove" written on the side.  I don't think you can even refuel there.

I've been to Battle Creek and Gaylord; neither of which are as exciting as the names would suggest.  Battle Creek is the home of Post and Kellogg's.  Gaylord is a city of about 4000 which is known for... being on the road from Detroit to Mackinaw City
