Site Redesign

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-07-03T07:46:27-07:00

The first two seem a bit contradictory but I have though of a way to have all airport information on one page without cluttering it up.

Aircraft For Sale

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-05-21T18:00:46-07:00

Whether you are looking for a Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Aviat, Lancair, Cirrus, Grumman, Diamond, or any other type of aircraft, you've come to the right place.

FREE US Instrument Approach Procedures

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-05-05T06:27:06-07:00

As we refine this enhancement to AirportGuide.com, we solicit your suggestions for how this service can be made more convenient and useful to you.

Airport Info Popup for Your Site

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-02-10T07:54:44-08:00

I just realized that when I put up the direct linking blog post last summer, I forgot to tell you about another little popup feature I created for YOUR websites.

Flight Arrivals & Departures Added

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-02-04T17:22:16-08:00

This, of course, has some restrictions as it is only valid for public use airports AND the aircraft will have had to have filed a flight plan so they are being tracked.

Flight Status Added

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-02-02T23:15:27-08:00

You can now check your airline flight status by Airline Name and Flight Number or by Departure and Arrival Airports.

Travel Supply Store is Being Built

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-01-08T08:29:05-08:00

If you have any suggestions for other items you would like to see just contact me and I'll do my best to include it.

International Airports Now Online

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-12-17T23:29:06-08:00

If you have a good source of data for any international area such as the UK or France, I would be more than willing to talk about an arrangement to get this data supplied on an ongoing basis.

International Airports Being Added

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-11-10T13:53:39-08:00

There are over 10,000 airports outside of the FAA's jurisdiction so this will take a while but as I always say 'don't waste your time doing it if you don't plan on doing it right.'

Airmen Database

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-10-24T10:34:14-07:00

You can now search for all domestic and foreign airmen registered with the FAA by clicking on the Airmen Search link in the navigation bar.

Country List Added

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-10-13T14:02:33-07:00

A list of world countries has been added to the site to allow airport browsing by country.

International Airport Update#2

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-10-09T08:15:25-07:00

And as always, if you have an aviation product that you think would integrate well with this site, such as a flight planner, please contact me so we can discuss it.

International Airport Update

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-10-02T21:08:11-07:00

I just wanted you to all know that we are probably within one week of releasing international airports on Airport Guide.

After 2 days of data massaging, the communication frequency data is on the site.

Quick Search on every airport page

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-14T19:43:07-07:00

Added a 'quick search' to all AirportGuide.com airport pages in the upper right hand corner.

Worldwide Rail/Train Reservation System added

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-09T01:15:13-07:00

I just spent the last 14 hours creating one web page that will allow anyone to buy rail passes and tickets for locations around the world.

Flight Planner Partnership Wanted

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-05T14:17:40-07:00

For our pilot friends out there I would like to integrate a flight planner but don't have the time to create one myself.

Runway Data Available

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-08-24T13:18:01-07:00

International airports will appear after I finish baselining all of the U.S. data.

Direct Linking

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-08-22T14:46:07-07:00

For example, GNB is used by the FAA to identify Granby airport in Colorado while the IATA uses GNB to identify Grenoble St-Geoirs airport in France.

Partnered with Vortex Log

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-08-17T22:39:05-07:00

Airport Guide has partnered with Vortex Log to provide pilots visiting this site an online electronic logbook.

Switched to a faster server

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-08-17T22:28:36-07:00

Since then I have moved the site over to a VPS server (KnownHost) and today I flipped the switch.
