Canandaigua Airport

This is a neat little airport along the finger lakes and an easy 25 minute flight from Buffalo. The airport has a courtesy car (a car they let pilots use for free for an hour or two) and it’s quite nice to fly into, grab the courtesy car and drive up to the lake for a nice little picnic! It’s a little hard to spot from the air, IMHO — so it’s useful to grab a satellite view of the area and look for the lone runway before you depart, although I’m sure with a GPS you’ll find it easily enough.
There’s a pilot lounge with a few computers that you’re free to use. You can rent hangars, come here for flight lessons and I believe the Penn Yan flying club recently moved their Cherokee to this field — so definitely reach out to the flying club if you’re interested in some affordable ways of learning how to fly.
Not sure how much the hangars cost, but it’s a neat little field. Transient parking is free for small planes, but they do charge a premium if you plan to fly in a King Air, etc. Fuel costs are average for the area. The runway is about 5,500ft and the lights on it are pilot operated.
If you’re a pilot and looking for a place to fly into, have a picnic along the fingerlakes; D38 is a great option! For those in the Buffalo area, it’s likely one of the first «cross countries» you’ll do as a student since it’s just about 50nm away.
