New Site Design Deployed

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-10-08T09:12:38-07:00

⁃ Pilot Information - This area encompasses the original Airport Guide where you can Browse Airports, perform an Airport Search (you can actually do this on every page now in the upper left of the page) and see detailed information about an airport such as runways, frequencies, approach plates, FBOs, etc.

Site Redesign Almost Ready

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2009-10-02T19:09:56-07:00

As always, if you feel you have a new feature, data source, web tool, idea, etc., that would be a good fit for this site then please contact me.

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.

Airport Guide "pick of the week" at AirplaneGeeks.com

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-29T20:54:00-07:00

Airport Guide is honored to be mentioned as a "pick of the week" on the AirplaneGeeks.com September 29th podcast.

Browse by State

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-17T23:35:52-07:00

You can now browse airports by U.S. state and territories on AirportGuide.com.

Communication Frequency data now online

mforte@flyingbuffalo.net — 2008-09-12T19:47:12-07:00

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.
