Only 15 million dollars, that's the average price of a toronto apartment nowadays!
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Very interesting history...

One interesting thing that I was told years ago about BCATP airports and why their runways were all built as triangles, was so that the novice training pilots never has to deal with more than a 45 degree X-wind....true or not

I'd go 1.5 million for a share. Need 9 more of you.
Re: Camp Picton Airbase for sale
Lots of good memories from hanging around the flying club, planes and airport. My dad was Manager and CFI at the Prince Edward Flying Club (PEFC) and Quinte Airways from its inception (1952ish) until he retired from flying in 1974.
Hangin at that airport led to my 33 year military and civilian flying career!
