Airport
Hi Sir,
I would like to know if airport still sale. I can purchase it. Please let me know ASAP
Thank you,
Gaetan Bourgault
122.8 is local floatplane frequency and Kenora airport is 12
122.8 is local floatplane CJM9 frequency and local Kenora airport CYQK is 122.2
Seaplane base is across from hospital, not where the anchor
Kenora seaplane base is across from hospital on T-docks and not where the map indicates it is. There is 100LL and jet fuel available on River air side and 100 LL on Kenora Air side of dock. Takeoffs are outside the bay running almost East/West and no high speed taxiing in past buoy. Boats won't slow down for you or get out of the way.
A 70's airport
Very nice if you want to dive into the past. Apparently no developments since 40 year either in services and structure. It took 1 hour to receive luggage after landing from Vancouver. Everything is old fashioned and not at all in line with airports of lesser developed countries.
Really a bad experience
Backyard
does not look long enough from the air but there are a few planes on the ground including a big twin. flight sup says power lines are unmarked but there was a single marker visible. very nice area and close to lake simcoe and scugog, alot of traffic in the area.
Is this still in use?
I was just wondering if this small airport was still open? And who do you have to get in touch with to see if a small plane could land there

Make sure you check their website about fuel availability as it isn't constant.
There is a $5 landing fee, if the attendant is there you pay him, otherwise it's on the honour system. They're trying to raise funds to redo the runway and they are currently at 150K / 990K, so don't be a jerk, and make sure you pay even if there is no one collecting.
Call Herberts and they'll pick you up and drop you off, though the walk isn't too bad ~1.5Km.
It's a very popular fly in spot so you can expect a fair bit of traffic. Communicate on the radio and keep an eye out!
You can also get fuel at Manitoulin East or Parry Sound, which are a bit cheaper.
Good spot!
Great fuel stop. 100LL was $1.99/L tax included.
Staff was friendly and helpful!
Great little airport. Fantastic buttertarts!
Known for their legendary buttertarts, be sure to add this to your list for the 100$ hamburger.
Occasional wildlife, so keep an eye out, and it's a popular training spot.
Beautiful Scenery and Nice Airport
Visited mid May, a bit of traffic. Unicom won't answer but other local pilot will help if on frequency. Airport staff is very friendly and free wifi inside for pilots use! Very good place.
Nice Airport
Very nice airport, went mid May. Not a lot of traffic and friendly Unicom-
DELETE THIS. Duplicate to CYHS (CPN4) Hanover/Saugeen Munici
This is a dupe and should be deleted.
Horrible lines
They know how many flights are coming in, why can't they staff customs properly? Had to line up upstairs before making it downstairs for a hall of more line ups. Over an hour in line. Ridiculous. I'll fly though Buffalo though I like in Toronto.
Strong but sudden deep fading
Loud and clear but with sudden deep fading on 25 May 2016. Using AM MW portion ( tunes below 535khz) of a Kenwood 9r-590 and 80m dipole.
YWA is not too far for nighttime ground wave from my location at FN04fc (Newmarket, ontario)
(no subject)
Everything seemed clean and well maintained. No one seemed to mind that I was an Ultralight. Beautiful scenery all around.
STOLport
This is a unique little strip - short with a healthy incline starting at 1/2 field. Not for beginners or the faint of heart!
It is in the local practice area and the regional flight schools bring their commercial students here for STOL practice before sending them out west or overseas .
Looks very cool, and a little scary.
Adequate at best
This has not been much of an airport since the early 90s. No takeoffs after 1030 pm. (in anything!) Fuel extremely expensive. Poor TBOs.
This airport has squandered every opportunity it has ever been provided (Peterborough is now reaping those rewards)
(no subject)
The Town of Thessalon has recently put this airstrip up for sale. So future of the strip is unknown.
meetings
are they still the second friday of the month?
Nice Airport
Seems to be very well maintained.
A very nice little restaurant with good prices.
Nice place!
Nice field and great people! There is an RAA bbq there in early June this year.
Rip Off!
Everything from the parking to the food/drink is overpriced!
It was never that great, but has GONE DOWNHILL!
The last time I landed here was about 5 years ago and thought despite the negative reviews I would drop in recently. The recent reviews were accurate. Not certain who would buy it, but I won't be returning. St. Catharines airport is the best in the area with lots to do and good facilities! I wonder what happened on that plane crash that occurred there last year. Hushed up!
Beautiful Scenery
Landed here the other day, but took off fairly quickly. I wish I could have gotten out because it looks beautiful! Runway was clear and big, there was quite a few deer around the runway, we noticed once we landed. Not busy, at least when I had arrived!
Service
The staff is great but building is old
NOTAM.
My Trans Can approval requires that I contact the sick kids heliport manager to post a NOTAM.
How can I contact this person?
Great Service
Recently had a flight booked to Edmonton via Kingston, Toronto, Calgary and finally Edmonton. Upon check in, the staff voluntarily did a search for options and were successful in booking us on a more direct flight to Edmonton. As a result we arrived Edmonton 2 hours earlier. The staff at this small airport is friendly and accommodating. You can't beat the service at small airports! Thank you and thanks to Big Al from the flying club!
Murray Kot
What I want to say is that my father Owen Phillipps (Sabre Air) is now 100 and 5 months and sends Murray his very best wishes and tells me that he is one of the best.
No Longer open to public
I Called and spoke with a very nice lady while looking for hangar space and she advised me they were allowing those who were there already to stay, but no longer accepting inbound flights as they want to keep private. FYI
FIELD USAGE ?
Greeting to who will have knowledge of this field, is it open to Ultralight storage and use age, waiting for my CFS to arrive and check it for contact info.
Great Runway
Great efficient airport, helpful Unicom and not a lot of traffic.
On airport restaurant Tilly's Cafe and Bakery well worth the
Tilley's Cafe and Bakery located in the terminal is a great spot to eat breakfast or lunch.
Just google it and you will find all the details.
Old runways
Just spotted it while flying over this past week . Good to know in case of emergency landing is necessary
(no subject)
As of the fall of 2015. We lost the owner, Gord Farrow. The field is unknown at this time having to do with maintenance. .
Career Contact
Hello, is there someone I can contact regarding a possible career opportunity within the airfield?
CYPQ PIREP
Restaurant onsite is very good. More than decent coffee, a yummy home-made soup, good sandwiches.
DO NOT BUY GAS HERE - it was $1.77+HST ($2.02) from teh ESSO truck. In contrast, the member price at Rockcliffe is $1.65 (and CYRP and CYSH are similar in price to CYRO).
Closed
Seems closed now though there are still some (shells of?) planes by the parking lot.
Nice and big
I went there the other night, it was very quite at about 19:30 local time. The MF frequency was unmanned but just used it as an uncontrolled airport. Very easy to see at night, lights are sufficient. Keep in mind that runway 05 has a displaced threshold, it is lighted very well to show you it is displaced.
Contact Info
Visiting this area with C172. Looking for an overnight tiedown. How do I contact you?
Marked closed
Thanks for the update — confirmed and marked as closed.
sightseeing flight
hi I was wondering if there would be anybody that has a plane in Guelph for 2 people to go up in the air for a short ride
Contact Info

Tres bel endroit,
Lunch Option
You can fly in and take a cab (or bike) to the Winery. It has a deli/counter which sells raw meats which you can then cook yourself on a BBQ (free to use) in the pavilion with picnic tables etc. Great idea!
Flyboys closed
We flew in yesterday hoping for some food but found out that the Flyboys grille has been closed for a couple years. The runway is gravel but very smooth.
Not GA friendly
No one is allowed to land here. What a joke. Way to let GA grow in Canada ya idiot.

— Anonymous Flyer at Bradford Aerodrome, Canada
The guys complaining about the field must be using shopping cart wheels on their planes because its really nice and yes it has a bit of a hump but so does a camel?
