lots of aircraft, good prices on fuel 100ll and mogas, mechanical services available. although there are skydivers on the field it does not seem to be a problem. consult CFS for circuits
Huge runways in good condition, lots of GA planes, some impressive vintage aircraft (I've seen a T-28 and Cornell), completely messed up circuit with planes cutting on the final, joining it from any altitude and direction, doing steep turns on the downwind... reminds anything? I felt like it was another Brampton. Decent airport, but not so fun to fly around. If needed to land somewhere around Niagara, I'd think St. Catharines, not Welland.
I'm flying PPG out of there quite a bit too now. Great airport. Give me a shout if you want to fly. I live local and can be there with short notice. jlea1@cogeco.ca
I often fly a paratrike (PPG/PPC) out of the infield there, both mornings and evenings. A very safe and ultralight friendly airport, with relatively little traffic. An air-band radio is a requirement, but a lot of flexibility otherwise. Great scenery to enjoy within a short distance in all directions.
