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

[CL-Skadoo!]

I'd go 1.5 million for a share. Need 9 more of you.

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!

75 years of history gone.

The airport may be closed. But they are preserving some of the history, and its a pretty cool place to go visit. Currently a Lancaster is stored in one of the hangars and open for occasional tours.
