Airport Sold - To Whom?
I recently enquired with the Town about landing and have been advised that the airport has been sold. I am unsure to whom. Current cycle of CFS still reports the Town as the operator.
Allegiant Air
Allegiant Air is now operating out of PVU. Very cheap tickets if you book well enough in advance. A one way ticket to LAX booked one week out was quoted at $55.50 the day I checked. The website will try to sell you all sorts of packages but if you just click through its a relatively easy booking processes.
This airport does not exist.
I don't know if this was an airport/airstrip in the past but its all houses now.
NDB AP CASSE 260 kHz Gone
FAA techs confirm AP 260 is gone. AP 206 failed in Jan 2017 and since it was to be decommissioned anyway AP will not be repaired. Also stated they could find the NOTAM. Neither could we.
Keeping my plane at Toronto Island Airport
I'm looking for a place to keep my Cessna 172. Where's the best place on the Island for inside (or outside) parking? Costs?
Thanks
NDB AP CASSE 260 kHz Gone?
Not heard since 18 Jan 2017. No NOTAM.
Dining at Golf Course
I've flown down from CYRO a few times and gone for brunch at the golf course. There is a footpath off the end of RWY25 (be sure to keep an eye on the sky until you are well away from the threshold!) that leads straight to the clubhouse where they are very friendly and welcoming, and have a good menu.
As for the beach and picnic ground across the street - it is just a short walk, but as of August 2017 it was closed for tree chopping (emerald borers have killed a lot of the trees). It's run by the Parks of the St Lawrence, so call them first before promising the kids a fly & swim!
Pavement Shapfile
Does anyone know where one can get shapfiles for the Airfield pavement?
Awesome FBO
The FBO owners Darrell and Sherry are great people. Very personal service!!! Clint & John Davis
Taxi's
The YVR department for controlling taxi cabs coming to pick up travelers at the airport should all be let go!
20 minute wait line! 60 people in line! No taxi cabs!
There are 300 to 400 taxi cabs in a holding area but no one is calling them.
World class airport with no taxi service.

Great airport for crossing the border. Only draw back, no fuel.
Bad airport for connections
If you're arriving at Terminal 1 and your connecting flight leaves from Terminal 3, you'll have to retrieve your checked baggage, exit the secure area, and line up again in the public security line in Terminal 3. Be warned.
Waiting or Dropping off Passengers?
Great Airport if you understand that the upper section near the visible front of the airport is more for buses, taxi and shuttles. It is much easier to unload or pickup a passenger by parking the vehicle near the entrance door in the 1st level parking lot. It is best your vehicle is parked here in case a plane or your passenger is delayed. When the parking kiosk is closed just print out and pay for parking at the machine on your way out just before the exit door to the parking lot. Keep your receipt to scan to open the gate. A bit different, just takes a little to get used to.

Arrive At Night
For the light show of the city. Spectacular.
Bare Bones Airport
There's not much here. A 2 level space, but the simplicity makes it easy to navigate and fast. Not a lot of traffic. Getting into Liberia at night is super dark. There are not a lot of city lights, so don't be surprised. Also, the airport itself has one store on the main level which is expensive. Upstairs, at the gates, there are more, but again expensive is the theme - as it is with all airports.
Valpiro FBO at Val D'Or airport
Val D'Or was great experience!, Valpiro FBO staff were helpful, friendly and efficient, and we had ground power as soon as we had shut down. We had emailed them overnight and, following their response we phoned and made contact. We arrived and parked on the ramp nearest to their facility and were airborne again 58 minutes later after the refuel, coffee and loo stop! Definitely a top-tip in Northern Canada.
My Fathers Crash
My father died in a crash 6/20/1957. He was flying for Medford Air Service . the crash was in a Stearman about 3 miles from Budworm City. Any info or reports would be helpful.
Thank you

First Airport I visited as a student pilot.
Old Bold pilots, Sid and a wonderous field of dreams, Can av
Haven't been there since Sid was the major domo. Times change.
Glad to hear it is still being used, by pilots. I recommend you disregard
the negative waves of the poster above. Yeah Sid might have been Sid,
which meant no time for fool's. But at 17, he was 'the man', to me.
A 'hail fellow well met'. Taught me what a short field 270 degree approach
should look like. And other things from the characters that haunted Sids

Search for a Fleet Canuck aircraft for sale
I'm hoping there may be a Fleet Canuck available at this airport for sale, any help would be appreciated. Is there an airport manager on site?
